Christmas Time and a Math Nerd

Today was extremely good. It FELT like Christmas time. It was rainy out, but also really chilly. This is my favorite time of year, still technically fall, especially here, where the trees just barely started changing colors. But also time to start celebrating Christmas. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, but they obviously can't compete with Christmas time.

After taking Jess to work after lunch, the kids and I went to Big Lots so I could search for these star lights I want. Neely had fallen asleep when we got there, so we played in the car a while to let her sleep.
After a little while we heard Neely cooing in the back, so we knew she was done napping. We went in, and the kids were so cute holding hands, under their umbrella. It made me smile.

We had fun on our random, kind of pointless shopping trip, and bought nothing. They were all really good, checking out all the Christmas decorations, and the toys, and put them back without any arguing or even begging, when it was time to go. Plus, look at Neely in her cardigan and hat.

Then we went by my Grama's, and over to visit Veronica, Lily, and Aivree.
Like she does at home, Neely stole a chair from the dollhouse, and played with it for a while. She likes to take one of the dolls, or any small object, in this case a ball, and just put it in the chair, take it out, put it in, take it out.....

So cute, she is.

Unrelated, but worth mentioning, Paige loves learning anything and everything, but lately especially math. She keeps begging Jess to give her harder and harder problems. Here's what they've been doing:
She may end up a bigger math nerd than I am.
