This week has been a happy one but also quite emotional for me personally. Celebrating Olivia’s special first birthday this week means that she isn’t a baby anymore though she will always be my baby. My tears are flooding through just writing this. I can’t help but think of the roller coaster of a day [...]

Christmas at Nana and Papa’s

To set the tone of our Christmas weekend, the weather was very wintery (cold and wet) which made for perfect Christmas weather. That is the only time I like wintery weather ! We had a wonderful time with family, ate too much, played a lot, snuggled inside, and loved every second of it. I’m so [...]

Things were definitely stirring in our home the night before Santa came. Getting the girls ready for bed was especially exciting for both the girls and us knowing that Santa was near. And then it happened! Santa came and he left some very fun toys for the girls. Avery wakes up very early so we [...]
Family Christmas

My family starts celebrating Christmas weeks before Christmas day. My mom has a large extended family so it allows everyone to get together without having other obligations. We celebrated Christmas early in December with my mom’s aunts, uncles, cousins, etc (more like an extended family reunion) and then again the next day with my aunts [...]
Visiting with Santa

We took the girls Friday to see Santa. As you can see, Olivia thought Santa was pretty scary. Avery was excited but also a little unsure. We’ve been asking her what she wants Santa to bring her for Christmas and she tells us the exact same thing she told Santa: a purple present and a [...]

This past weekend was cold and rainy but we had two family Christmas parties which sure did brighten things up. Matt and Dawn had a professional shoot scheduled for this weekend but had to cancel due to weather so they asked me to do their Christmas pictures for them. I was excited to do them! [...]

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we gathered all our energy and decorated our home with Christmas pretties. Our outdoor lights were already up thanks to someone we hired but we turned on some Christmas tunes and decked out our tree and house. I didn’t put out my village this year because I don’t have anywhere to [...]

Thanksgiving 2011 was really special because we celebrated with our growing family! This year, our family grew by 2 with Olivia and Lyla being born. I’m so thankful for my family and our health and well-being! We also got some Facetime with Scott’s family whom were dearly missed. I love this time of year! We [...]
Kitchen Play

We hang out in the kitchen a lot and Olivia’s favorite thing is to pull out all the cups and bowls in her cabinet. It was Avery’s favorite as well. I have one cabinet that I keep all their supplies and I give her free reign. I’m always amazed out how non-toy toys [...]
Weekends at Home

With Scott traveling so much recently during the week, we have been staying at home quite a bit on the weekends. We really like going to Central Market to find lots of great food for the weekend and Avery loves it! She calls it the park with a store and she never forgets about getting [...]
