Lizzie had a great birthday. We celebrated her birthday with a balloon and a cupcake. Her Aunt graduated from Nursing School that night so we went to that and out to eat later.



12/9 was her birth date but 12/11 (her original EDD) is when we had her party. Many people came and she got lots of presents and had a lot of fun. :)



12/12 was Lizzie's One Month Check-Up:


^{The had to prick her finger but her blood work came back normal, she had to get 5 shots, she weighed 18.2 pounds. Doctor said she could drink whole milk now and that she can eat everything but spicy food. The doctor also gave her a sucker for being such a good girl.}

12/17 we went and saw Santa.


^{She was not impressed but at least she didn't CRY! :)}

CHRISTMAS! 12/18 was hubby's mom's side,


^{Our Entire Family}

12/22 was my dad's extended families side,


^{With my Grandmother}

12/23 was hubby's dad's side, 12/24 we got together with hubby's direct family and did our traditional reading of "The Night Before Christmas",


^{Lovin on Lexus}

Christmas Day we went over to the in-laws and then to my SIL's house really quick and THEN to do a store check for hubby's work and THEN (lol) to my dad's side's Christmas, 12/26 my mom's family came over. WHEW! We were busy people!


That's it! We had a busy, busy month! Maybe we can have some time to relax now... :)

This was the last shopping trip I was making for my daughter's party until my daughter's party (hopefully). lol Anyways, I was hoping that I could get four of the Tide trial size for $0.97 and use the $2 off but they wouldn't accept them. They said it was because of the overage (which we know is not true), the real reason I learned is that the coupon is distributed by P&G (Proctor and Gamble) and the trial size is not...(read more). So I didn't do as well as I was hoping but I did get some good freebies and everything I wanted for my daughter's party.



2 Johnson's travel first aid kits $0.97 - used $1 off any Johnson's product or neosporin
4 Earthbound Organic Carrots (suppose to be $0.88 but rang up) $0.98 - used 2 $2/2 from Recyclebank
Plates, cutlery, and napkins $0.97 each
Hormel snack tray $5.87 - used $3 off
and got a new angel for our tree because our other one was looking rough. And it was about $15.

Pretty good haul. Spent about $20. I'll post the receipt in a bit. I would have done better if they would have let me use the overage but I understand why just wish they had the real reason. I was so upset about this on Monday. Anyways. That's it! :D
