Same Day Baby!

Keira had her 4th set of tubes put in Thursday morning at St. Mary's in Rochester. Overall, it went pretty well, so I'm hoping this will lead to even more hearing improvement!  We will find out on Valentine's Day, Feb 14th, when we go for a re-check on hearing and to see her ENT.

We decided to drive up Wednesday afternoon in the rain instead of chancing an icy drive on Thursday morning. We stayed at Aunt Jeans where Keira made herself at home right away, checking out what was in the fridge! Our report time wasn't until 8:30, so our morning was pretty much on our regular time schedule.  We did have to wait a bit when we got there, and it became increasingly harder to divert Keira away from wanting anything to eat or drink.  So, we finally got in, got everything ready to go, Mom put on the clown suit and took her to OR, just a few deep crying breaths and she was limp!

I went for coffee, and a short wait later she was out... she cried for about an hour then finally calmed down, watched Tangled and we got to go! YAY!  It was fun walking around St. Mary's WITH Keira, looking at the beautiful pointsettia trees with the baby Jesus underneath.. checked out the gift shop and stopped at the cafeteria for cottage cheese and chocolate milk!

And of course, she slept most of the way home!  Overall, a success... but we stillhaven't been to the dentist... UGG!

My Favorite Things

Oprah move over... I have a lot of Favorite things as well that have topped my gift list year.. even though I may have stolen some of her ideas.. hee hee .. but I'd first like to say I am loving my Christmas List APP this year!  I do feel a bit more organized and don't chance the risk of Nick running across a handwritten list!  AND it keeps me very conscious of the amount of money we've spent!

These are a few of my favorite things:
 Slatkin & Co. 3-Wick candles from Bath n Body Works... Balsam is a Fabulous scent, the freshest, cleanest cut Christmas Tree!  and the silver candles sleeves are Gorgeous!

Philosophy... We are trying "Partridge in a Pear Tree" and "Peace On Earth" this year.

Melissa & Doug wooden puzzles and toys.. found this new "Snap" in toy, thought it would be good for Keira's fine motor skills!

Gymboree... I Love, Love, Love their skirt and tights combos and the holiday lines Snow Cute and Cheery All the Way were my favs!  They just released their first spring line today!! CRAZEE

Silpada... a little Bling never hurt anyone!

Freezer Mugs... icy cold... Yum!

Movies, video games, and technology gifts all top the list as well!!
Most of these are repeat gifts but that is why they are my Favorites!!

Hope you all get what's on your wish list this Christmas!
