November has been the most trial filled month of the past few years! It started with Grandpa going to heaven. Then ended with a wonderful, sweet funeral for Pappy after he decided to join Grandpa in heaven. I feel so blessed to have had two wonderful grandpas who couldn't have been more different but the same in their love for all of us! I was truly blessed to have been able to spend time with both and say my goodbyes before they passed away. Now that the initial stress, sadness and anger is subsiding I can see the blessing in that opportunity :) One happy moment in November was the success of Jim getting his first Elk during his hunt and now we have a FULL freezer!
So we started December off on a happy note celebrating Mom's birthday with a trip on the Polar Express. I didn't know what Ember would think of the whole thing but she was very excited and even liked Santa! She is walking around with the bell he gave her and tells me all about him giving it to her! She is growing up WAY too fast! I mailed out her 2nd birthday invitations today and we had our first movie date to see Tangled! She is talking in full sentences and has become quiet bossy. Yesterday she was in trouble for coming over to me on the couch and saying, "Mama, you no sit here, I sit here you get down now!" that was after we had an argument that went something like this, "Mama, wheres my baba?" " I don't know Ember what did you do with it?" "Mama, you have it!" "No I don't Ember." "Mama, where is it, you have it! I have it?" "Ember I don't have it you go find it!" "Mama, You find it now and then I have it!".......guess who won? Yeah I went and found it and she got it :( One point Ember!
So up next on the Gypsy Train is Jim's 30th Birthday which we have jointly decided to celebrate in January so he gets a real celebration not a rushed Christmas time one :) That is followed by Ember's 2nd Birthday party and then Christmas in Flagstaff! Hope you all have a wonderful holiday!
