High Five For Friday!

Ahhh the long awaited day has finally came! Friday. The last day of my work week. The last day before my exciting 4 day weekend starts! I have a lot to be excited about! So let me share my top five wonderful moments that happened in my little universe this week!

1. I printed out these adorable little movie tickets and stuck them in a gift bag. I put Lucy (our elf on the shelf) next to the bag and sat the bag in Madison's car seat. She came out from daycare and went to get in the car and was surprised to find the tickets, a stuffed dog and a note saying "From Santa and Lucy". This made her day. We took my mom to the movies and spent the night wearing goofy 3D glasses, stuffing our faces with popcorn and laughing at one of the best Disney movies made.
(Although Madison was very antsy and talkative, we made it, and she was happy.)

2. With the exception of about three gifts, I am done with all Christmas shopping! I am planning to hit up a couple of stores this weekend and call it a Merry Christmas! I have already wrapped all of Madison's gifts so I at least have a head start on that! The countdown for our family is on!
We truly CANNOT WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

3. "Lucy, Lucy, Lucy!" This is what Madison says every time she catches Lucy pulling some kind of stunt. I attached nerf darts to Lucy's head as antennas, placed a dart in her hand, laid out magnets that said "Embrace My World" along with other short phrases and covered our television in darts! Ha ha. It was exciting putting it all together because I just know how Madison reacts. She does the whole flop her head back, slap her knee and laugh kinda thing. It's quite cute! Having Lucy around has made our days very interesting to say the least.

4. Oh how I LOVE these kiddos! I don't get to see my nephews as much as I would like but when I do it's so much fun! They are full of energy, spirit and happiness. Madison does the instant clap her hands as fast as she can while jumping up and down as soon as she sees them. They are all at that perfect age. Christmas is going to be a blast this year!

5. I have started receiving my Christmas cards! I opened one from my grandfather and he had written a check for Madison and I to split. Oh how grateful I am to have a loving family. His generosity has really helped me get through the holiday this year. How do you repay someone who has everything, says they need nothing and who would give you everything they had? I love all of the people in my life!

I had a fabulous week! So much to be happy for! What's going on in your little universe? Care to share? Link up with Lauren like I did and share your stories!
