Christmas Cookies

Kaylee and I made Christmas cookies and had a lot of fun. She was really into it and helped do everything. I love Christmas traditions with my family!

Our final product

I love you Kaylee!!!

Family Pictures

Now that I have our Christmas card out I can share our family pictures. Last month we took them and it was much harder with Kaylee than I expected... Usually she is a little ham but she wanted nothing to do with it this time. Jeremy and I were sure that all the pictures turned out bad. But we were pleasantly surprised when we got them back. Here are some of my favorites...

Uncle Paul

My Uncle Paul will be having surgery on Thursday (12.3) to remove a tumor that is on his adrenal gland. This surgery is not very common and is very difficult. I am so thankful my Mom is able to be there with him in this time of need.

Please have him in your thoughts and prayers!

We love you Uncle Paul

Thanksgiving 09

We had a really nice Thanksgiving this year. We did things a little different and I think it turned out perfect. On Thanksgiving we went to my parents house and the day after we celebrated with Jeremy's side of the family. It made the weekend much more relaxing.

I am feel so very blessed to have such an amazing family close to me. Thank you for adding to the joy in my life!

Sea World

The day before Thanksgiving I got to take my nephew Conner and niece Aaliyah to Sea World. We had the best day. Both of the kids were so good for me and it was SO great to spend quality time with them.

The kids after a bath they have so much fun together!

I love the time I get to spend with them.

Hanna's Monkey Party

Our sweet niece Hanna Michelle turns 2 on Thanksgiving!

She had a really fun party at MyGym to celebrate. All the kids had A LOT of FUN!

Grandma was brave enough to take all 4 of her grand kids to Kiddie Kandids. I was told that Kaylee was the most difficult sorry Mom(gotta love this age). I love this picture of them all together.

Cabo

Jeremy and I were lucky enough to go on a 8 day vacation. It was amazing! We went for our friends wedding but got to spend some time together just the two of us as well. The first 4 day we relaxed by the pool went to dinners and were in bed early then the wedding party came and we spend 4 days with a bunch of our close friends. It was the perfect vacation!

Halloween 09

I love Halloween so much more now that I have a child. It was SO much fun for me to dress Kaylee up and watch her prance around in her costume. She really liked trick or treating this year and to my surprise walked up to some of the doors without me. Little Miss Independent! After about 5 houses she was so mad that she could not open the candy right away so she would cry and then get over it once she realized she would get more at the next house. We went over to Uncle Josh and Auntie Megan's neighborhood for the Halloween Parade/trick or treating. It was really FUN the only thing missing was Daddy...Poor guys was home sick with the flu we were sad he missed it.

Love my girl
