Pollito- so jealous! i hope you guys have a great time at CSR!
TiggerStac- congrats on the boy!
kelly- Brady's pics are always so cute- i just love reading his blog and seeing him grow!!! You always have the greatest little outfits for him too.
nothing new here- just working a TON! super busy. trying to figure out my holiday time off. seems the company is closed the 25-26 and 1-2. I might take off the 24 and 31st too so i have two 5 day weekends in a row! we will see. day care is closed those days anyhow, so i have to bring him with me to work or take off (or work from home). I have a lot of christmas shopping done- but still need to do DH's family (kids)- he is waiting to see what his bonus is- i hope he gets it today. in today's economy, a bonus isn't a guarantee, hopefully he gets one and it is decent! we are just thankful to have jobs!
Will is such a blast lately- he loves wrapping paper and lights- he actually says light (or what sounds like it!). we are doing a horse drawn carriage ride to see lights in an old (rich) part of Dallas sunday ngiht with the family. should be fun. of course the TX weather is mild, so it should be pleasant too- 50s or so. We ahve DH's company party at the Gaylord Texan saturday night and are staying the night. the company puts us up! Will is spending the night with Grandma. She is also watching my niece (5) and nephew (2)----her and my dad will have their hands full.
hope everyone is having a nice holiday season, whatever your holiday may be!
This is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, but some years it's hard to be in the spirit when you're stressed and worried about stuff. I know- I have been there. But, I kind of live the "fake it til you make it" philosophy. I'm glad you got out the tree. Decorate your house. Bake some cookies. Send out cards. Drink hot cocoa and watch Christmas movies. Show Ellery the true meaning of Christmas. 
Oh, and nice pics in front of the tree - I like the one where Brady looks like he is yelling. 
and hope the New Year brings all that you hope and more!!! 
I can't even imagine!
