Joe surprised me over the weekend and took me car shopping! My Jetta is barely big enough for one carseat, let alone two, so it was time to upgrade. I've only ever driven small cars, and I didn't want something huge and bulky, but it had to have a lot of room in the backseat. Joe did his research and narrowed it down to four cars before we even got to Carmax. The first one we test drove, a Honda CRV, was absolutely perfect. We didn't even look at any other cars. We all love it, and Joe said he's mildly jealous. There's so much room in the trunk, it drives really smoothly, it has less than 40k miles, gets great gas mileage, has plenty of room for Ez's carseat, and it's comfortable. Basically it's perfect, and definitely the best Christmas surprise I've ever gotten. Thanks Santa Joe!
On Saturday evening we picked out our Christmas tree. It was so much fun this year, with Ez running around and playing hide and seek behind the trees. And that fresh Christmas tree smell filling up our living room can't be beat! I love it. We also decorated the tree, and went to Disneyland on Sunday, so it's been a busy busy weekend, but I'll share more on those in later posts. Be sure to check out the last pic: Ez Christmas tree shopping last year at six months old. First holidays are so special, but so far the holidays have been even more fun this year.
If you think holidays are fun this year, you just wait! I promise they become even more magical!!!! Woohoo Santa Joe did good!!!! We upgraded my mom mobile when we found out we were expecting again too! It was totally time. I was also driving a Jetta. Ha!
