Already?

4 weeks from today I'll be posting pics of my 1 year old with an icing covered face....

Just looked at the blog & the ticker says it is 4 weeks until my sweet baby girl turns 1. How can that be? The little flower girl might as well be sitting on the "1" she is so close. Seems like it was just yesterday I was holding that precious baby girl for the very 1st time. I've watched her grow & change so much over the past 11 months- what a joy! She is such a big girl these days & so full of personality, Seth & I just laugh at her! I never knew it was possible to love anything this much!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

It is only the middle of December & it has already snowed 3 times! Baby it's cold outside!

My Favorite Oreos!

Oreos are my weakness- have to dunk a few every night before bed! Hey- you have to get your calcium somehow! Love the seasonal ones & between holidays it is Double Stuffed. I have now found my absolute favorite Oreos of ALL time! I've only seen them at Target, but they are SOOOO good! I have eaten several packs already! Picked up 3 packs yesterday b/c I know time is running out. I hope Santa brings me a few packs & I even asked for them for my birthday!

I haven't even gotten a pack of the red Holiday/Winter Oreos if that tells you anything. The seasonal colored Oreos have always been my weakness. Halloween are #1, Spring #2, & Holiday #3, but the peppermint Oreos are so good I haven't even bothered with the colored ones! I highly recommend them. Don't get them confused with the Candy Cane Oreos, they are NOT the same! Just had to share- hope you enjoy!

Visit with Santa

Olivia met Santa & she did great! She snuggled up against him, rubbed the fur on his coat, & would look up at him with amazement! Just hoping she'll like him as much next year, though I fear she'll be crying in that pic!

Let it Snow!

Earlier this week it was 70 degrees & now our yard is white! Big pretty flakes for several hours this afternoon & into the evening.

Lots of Company & Lots of Love!

Olivia had lots of company in November & she loved all the love & attention!

Marni flew up from Florida for a long weekend. We had a great time catching up- it had been too long since our college days, but time hasn't changed a thing!

Uncle John & Aunt Lori came to visit

& more spoiling from Uncle Tyler who spent the night before he flew out. He LOVES to tickle her!She is blessed to be so loved!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving

God has given us so much that we sometimes take for granted. I'm thankful for all the blessings in our lives.

My wife who is the glue that holds our home together, my partner and encourager.

Our daughter who surprises, makes us laugh, shows us what love really is.

Our family who is there for the highs and lows.

Our friends who keep life exciting.

Have a special Thanksgiving and take a second to think about your blessings.
