Room for one more. . .

Today, still one day until Thanksgiving we decorated the house for Christmas.  The kids loved getting out all the decorations.  This isn't our normal plan, but we had the time.  Plus our wreath was delivered, which certified my belief that we had room to celebrate one more. . . holiday.  

This year as we are giving thanks for all of our friends and family, we'll have already begun to celebrate Christmas.   It feels like we have remembered how special it is to just spend this time laughing and enjoying time with others.  And we will keep that spirit alive into Christmas.  

Make-up

As my daughter and I are walking through the department store she spots the make-up counter. She gets these big eyes and runs towards the all the displays of make-up. Here I am diligently following her as she moving from one display to the next, repeating "We don't touch" as her eyes see all the make-up sitting open and waiting for her little fingers.

I shouldn't be surprised by this but I still don't know where it came from. I remember when she was just a year old she had a complete melt down in The Limited store when I said that she couldn't get the purse with the huge diamonds on it. Or the time that I would purposely go in the doors at Macy's that would not take us by the jewelry or purses for fear that she would want to live in those isle forever.  

I do have hope it that it won't be her only interest.  Last time we were at the store she loved looking at the sparkly christmas trees, but then the next isle she spotted the tools and we had to go take a look!
