Gingerbread Goodness


Abby and I got together with a bunch of good friends last Friday. We all have kids within a couple months of each other so it's a lot of fun to chat. With it being the Christmas Season, I thought it would be fun to decorate gingerbread houses. My mom has a tradition of making these every Christmas, so we wanted to keep that tradition going. There were 7 one-year olds running around the house all at the same time...it was a party. The kids were actually really good while we decorated and had lunch. It was a great time! Hopefully we can do this every year. Thanks Mom for the awesome tradition!

The 'Before' shot. It took a bit of practice to figure out to make them and the houses definitely had their flaws, but hopefully with time I will get better and better at it.

The finished product. Kimi and Jessica with their houses.

Fun memories! I love this time of year.

Family Photo Shoot...

My good friend, Steph, took these pictures of us over Thanksgiving and she did a great job! Thanks Steph, you're the best!












Here are some more fun color variations she did of some of the same pictures...She is so talented.





A Walk In the Park


We went to Cherry Hill Park by our house today to play and take some pictures. Abby had a blast running through the leaves and climbing stairs with only a few tantrums.



I just have to kiss these cheeks.


She's growing up way too fast.

Giving Thanks!

I love traditions. Thanksgiving can't be complete without the Macy's Day parade, the Turkey Bowl, cooking rolls and pies and eating all day. Yum! I love this time of year. There is so much we have to be thankful for, the list could go on and on. We are very blessed! I think something we are particularly thankful for today is family and friends. We want to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving! May you all enjoy some yummy turkey, a good game of football and family. :)

Exhaustion

This picture about sums it up. Poor Abby was so tired she collapsed while eating her vegetable soup. I wish there was a way we could have a 'National Nap Day,' where everything just stopped for a few hours and everyone could just sleep...oh how nice that would be.

Meet Emmett II




When we were in Utah Abby became attached to Laura's goldfish. She would go up to the fish bowl and talk to, whom she named, 'Emmett'. Last week, Suppy told of us that Emmett was found floating at the top of his bowl...sad. In honor of Emmett, we figured we would go and get Abby a fish of her own, so we ventured off to Pet's Mart in search for a goldfish.
Abby is so excited to now have her very own pet. Emmett II sits on her dresser and she loves saying 'hi' to her new friend. Lets hope he stays alive.

Dancing Queen



We turn on music and Abby's shakes those hips. She's following in Aunt Suppy's footsteps. :)
