The last week of November

This past week was a great week. Elise has started on a great schedule, and I told her she can hang on to this one as long as she likes. She wakes up to eat between 5:30-6 am, then goes back down to sleep until 7:30am. She'll get up to eat & play & then back down for a morning nap around 9:30, which usually lasts about 1 hour to an hour and a half. She gets up, eats, plays some more, then has rice cereal with fruit or vegetables, then down for her afternoon nap around 1:30 & sleeps till about 3pm. She'll get up after her nap & play a bit, eat a little more rice cereal, then it's bathtime, a bedtime story, eat & to bed by 6:30pm. It's been nice to have a few quiet hours in the evening to get things done.
On Friday night we went out to get our Christmas tree & we found a nicely shaped little tree. We almost thought about not putting one up since we'll leave for MN on Dec. 18th, but it just wouldn't feel the same without having one to enjoy.
This weekend we also got Elise a warm snowsuit so she is ready to visit family in the tundra. It'll be perfect to bundle her up.
She wasn't too excited about trying it on for us, but we're sure that she really does like it. LOL.
