Will I be alive on Christmas Day...or will I be the woman that falls over at the door...LOL...that's the question of the day!

Meredith Nicole has decided yet once again to be the "midnight rider" at the Buchsbaum household. She's acquired that nickname from her daddy who doesn't ever seem to require more than about 4-5 hours sleep a night...and he's ~~*always*~~ nice to people...me, on the other hand...lets just say that I really need more than 4-5 hours sleep ;)

Why was she up so late, we don't have a clue. She wasn't sick, or feverish...no problems at all.

She was in fact, happy...~~*very, very happy!*~~ She was laughing, giggling, dancing, jumping and having a great time. She laughed so much that Marc, Josh and I all got the giggles too. Do you know how hard it is to make your baby girl go to bed when she's having so much fun and to her delight we were all having tons of fun with her.

Marc finally put her in her bed and told her to lay down...her response...why...because it's night time...why...because God made it that way...why...so we can rest...why...so he spent at least 15 minutes answering all the why's and finally gave up when they got back to the first why. He told her to lay down again and her response...
"awwwwwww man"...and not just any "awwwwwww man", she's got the cutest way of saying it. I told Marc we have to get that on video.

When we finally got to lay down last night at around 1:00 am, we talked about the fact that we are so blessed. We will take being up at midnight laughing with our kids anytime over her being sick or in the hospital like last year.
