Our Little Christmas Dancer

Christmas greetings!  Well, given that it’s nearing the end of January I guess it would be more appropriate to say: “Christmas greetings…a month belated!”

As I mentioned in our last post, we spent the holiday with Mike’s family in Delaware.

We had a fun few days together and, as always, the Little Miss had a blast with her cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents.  Though truth be told, her heart was captured by another very special being…err, thing…Grandpop’s  remote control train.  It was love at first sight (and quite a handy distraction when Mommy and Daddy wanted a break!).

When not completely captivated by the train, the Little Miss entertained herself (and everyone else) with all sorts of fun little games and antics.  Here’s a special moment that Daddy was able to capture on camera…

“Why is Grandpop wearing a tie with his T-shirt?”, you may be asking yourself.  I cannot say…Eggnog does funny things to people, I guess.  But the Little Dancer thought he had style!

Here are a few other fun moments from our Christmas holiday…

 

It was a great trip and holiday!

Though this does come a month belated, we hope that your Christmas was a wonderful time with loved ones and – most importantly – a joyful celebration of the birth of Jesus, our Lord and Savior!

A Christmas Smorgasbord

Hello people!  So admittedly, we’ve been pretty bad about blogging over the past few weeks.  Rest assured, all are well in the Wright household after a very happy and fun holiday.

Here are some snippets from the past month.  We spent Christmas in Delaware with Mike’s family (more on that in a later post), and then rang in the New Year at home in Durham.

First is the Little Miss picking out our Christmas tree…
(Betcha wouldn’t guess that our Little Sleepyhead was cranky for much of this outing.  Suffice to say, a family photo in front of our new tree was a “NO GO”.  But we brought home a beautiful tree!)

Then seeing the Christmas tree up for the first time…

And placing the first ornament…
(A sweet moment, quickly followed by Little-Miss-Short-Attention-Span opting for other diversions)

 

Now I know you are all thinking to yourselves, “What did the Little Miss get from Santa?!?”

Well…the jolly fellow actually made a special trip back to Durham, after we returned home from Delaware, to deliver some holiday cheer (in the form of a play kitchen, rocking horse, and musical instruments) to our Little Elf.  We had a merry 2nd Christmas morning with just the Little Miss, Mommy, and Daddy.

 

It was a sweet time together, to be sure.  We look forward to celebrating as a family of FOUR next year!

We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well!

We have some SUPER news!

Hello, ladies and gents!  This is the Little Superhero, with some super news to share!!!

Well, for some time now I’ve known that I’m going to be a BIG SISTER!!!!  That’s right…sometime around June 12th there’s going to be a new Little Wright joining my family!

Mommy has been telling me for a while that there is a “baby” in her belly.  But every time I lift up her shirt to see for myself, I only see her tummy!  So I’m not really sure where this new baby is living these days.

But one thing I DO know, and am so excited to share, is that today we found out that I’m going to be the Big Sister of a…

BABY BOY!!!!

 

 

WAHOO!!!  I can’t wait for the Little Mister to get here so that I can teach him all of my (Little) superhero powers.  …Like how to climb on furniture (when Mama isn’t looking), turn our dog into a pony (Teddy just “loves” that!), and woo the likes of any grandparent with nothing more than a smile and a giggle (they’re like putty in my hands).

Once I get my Little Sidekick good and trained, together we’ll be unstoppable!

Mommy also said that my Little Bro looked healthy and active during the ultrasound, just like I did when I was in her tummy.  He wiggled all over the place, and then got the hiccups!

So get ready, world – the Little Wrights are takin’ over!

Alright, I must be off.  The life of a Little Superhero is always busy, busy, busy…go, go, go.  Well, until I get tired.  Or hungry.  Or just need a cuddle.

P.S.  Mommy also told me to report that some Christmas blogs are coming…Better late than never, right?!?
