Princess Bee

We went to the local Christmas Market in Modesto this afternoon, and let me tell you. It may not have been huge but it was lovely. There was the McHenry Mansion -a fantastic step back to 1883, food venders, homemade ware merchants, farmers, lots of friendly people and Bee's favourite: adoring fans. At each stand there were people who exclaimed that Bee was the prettiest baby they'd ever seen, and yes, I'm sure they just wanted me to buy their products, but it made our day! Princess Bee was in her element, smiling and waving at all her fans, jibbering and drooling accordingly.

During the Christmas Parade later, she was dancing and shrieking in joy. But that only lasted for a while. Soon she was screeching and jerking her body around, as if she WANTED us to drop her. Sadly we were not able to finish the parade, but what we were able to see, we liked. Three hours later, she's bathed and sleeping. Nothing beats the smell of a freshly bathed baby, all sleepy and cuddly.

Josh had his last day shift yesterday, and starts his swing shift tomorrow, 3pm-11pm. It'll be nice to have him home all morning!

You can tell its evening at the Young household. The dishwasher is running, the kitchen is clean, Bee is talking in her sleep, and us adults are relaxing. The Christmas lights are on, and I'm about to make a cup of decaf earl grey, my absolute favourite evening drink. It's been a great day!
