Defrocking the House

Today, Koko Bean helped me "defrock" the house. I also was able to organize her very messy playroom. Christmas always puts me in frantic mode. I go nuts in disorganized fashion, so the minute I have, well, a minute, I am organizing, dusting and cleaning everything!

Koko Bean didn't understand why we had to put aways all our red and green decor. She begged me not to put away her little blue Christmas tree, so I left it out for a few more hours.

We are gearing up for my other favorite holiday - Koko Bean's birthday!! I can't wait to decorate for her birthday. This year, it's at our new house. I am just hoping we get our new dining room table before the party!! We have much to look forward to this coming year. It's hard to believe this little girl was just seven days short of making her appearance, three years ago today. Until then, here is a refresher of what my baby looked like just nine days after she was born.

It kills you to see them grow up. But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.
