Twas the Night Before Christmas....

...and Santa's Elves were hard at work last night working on Dahlia's Christmas present.


A cute little kitchen set that she can bake lots & lots of "Happy Cakes" in & brew many pots of coffee for her Daddy.



This doesn't look too hard...



Oh, there's a few more pages. Good thing we started "early."


All the pieces lined up & ready to go.




Hmmm, what's this? I see a bag of "A," "B," "B," & "C" screws.....seems we're missing the "D's" (incidentally used in 'step #1').


ARGH! Back to Target I go!!

Oh dear. Putting together toys. The bane of my father's existence. You KNOW he kept a leatherman in his bathrobe pocket on Christmas morning, right? I finally see the master plan there...

Oy. Figures. At least you started with enough time to actually make the magic still happen on Christmas morning! This year - *we* didn't buy ANYTHING that needed to be assembled. Of course, my parents bought her a giant dollhouse for her Barbies that we'll end up in charge of assembling..... lol

Oh no - Maddy is also getting a kitchen.....haven't opened the box not that organized. I hope that ours is easier. I shouldn't have to worry with my "handy" hubby - but if there are directions involved......the guy can redo an entire washroom but give him an Ikea bookshelf and he's drilling new holes!

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
