Merry Christmas!!

We had a very lovely and uneventful Christmas. Praise the Lord!!! Akila did a fantastic job and was actually better than normal. She did wake up at 2:15 and 3:15 on Christmas morning, but I was able to get her back to sleep and I was very thankful for that, since I had just gone to bed at 1:00.

We spent Christmas Eve at hour house with just our family and went to Michael's brothers on Christmas Day. The kids received gift cards to Target from both of my brothers and today I brought Akila to spend them. I hate doing this. She does not understand money concepts well and it usually takes at least an hour. We move from the clothing section, to the toy section, to the electronic section to the make up section to the baby section and then start the rounds over and hit them all at least twice, if not three times. But today, we started in the baby section, she chose a preemie out fit for a new doll, we then moved on to the toy section where she picked out a barbie, and two Liv doll products. It took awhile, but not forever, and she did not throw a single fit. Thank you Jesus!!!!

She has been playing with them since we got home, 3 hours ago. Imani has been helping her and playing with her. That is all I need for Christmas, several hours of play without her throwing fits. Yahoo.

Here is our Christmas card picture. The exposure lighting didn't turn out very good on the ones I sent out, but it works. Merry Christmas to everyone.
