Getting back to life as usual.....well.....

We are sleeping thru the night regularly this week. Things have been crazy. Don't have time for anything. I expected that - just not this bad. Tommy went back to work and I'm trying to get ready for Christmas.

Today is Leila's first birthday. We celebrated with a family dinner and, of course, cake and ice cream. Leila had two helping of eggplant parmesian, a stuffed shell, two helpings of cake (which was hysterical to watch her eat) and two scoops of ice cream. I don't know where she puts it. Its no wonder she has put on 1.5 lbs since she's been home. We sat her in her high chair and let her at the cake herself. She had a ball and was covered up to her nose in it.



She got mad when I said no to a third piece of cake.


Here's the birthday girl sporting a new hat and new ugg boots!
