January 2013

I haven't added anything since November. I am feeling very behind. The holidays where amazing. We spent Thanksgiving with my parents and siblings. Its gets crazy in the house but I wouldn't want it any other way. This year for christmas Brian and I decided we just wanted something small. So it was just William, Brian, Natalie, Sofia, and I. We LOVED IT!!!!! It was perfect! Very laid back and fun. So, we might have to make this a tradition every other year. We actually opened presents christmas morning, had the nice diner christmas eve. No running around with our head cut off, no stress of making a big dinner. Like I said "Perfect". But I do look forward for when my parents come over on Christmas...... Its fun not to be boring every other year, right! :-)
Then it was January. I can't believe we are in 2013. Man do the years just fly by. So here are some fun pictures of our month of January.


William just being William. He loves this chair. 

Journey to the North Pole.

We really enjoyed this journey. We might do this every year.

Christmas Shopping

This morning we had a few errands to do. Once we got that done we did the last of our christmas shopping. 

Christmas Trees and William

We finally got the tree up at the Salon and at our house. Its so much work be it so worth it. William is already enjoying the tree at home. Now just a couple of days for the family to show up for our Thanksgiving celebrations.

Thankful.

In all honestly I couldn't wait until halloween was over... Why? Because I am ready to decorate for Christmas. But the reason I am on here today its because I am feeling extremely thankful for a lot of things.

Fall fun.

I absolutely love the fall. I look forward to everything about it. The hot chocolate, the leaves turning different color, the weather cooling off  and all the fun activities that we get to enjoy. We made our annual trip up to Greenbluff to pick our pumpkins. Last time we went william was barely 2 months old.  We had so much fun.

Life as we know it...

Natalie and William are getting so big. Lately I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post pictures on here. So here is a hosh posh of pictures.

Parents Must Read

I ran into this on pinterest. I want every parents to know how to keep their children safe from "tricky people". It has lots of good advice. So grab a cup of water, coffee, hot chocolate and read up. You won't regret it.

How to keep our Children safe. I am going to post Prevention tips, Red Flags & Warnings, and The Super-10 Play it safe for kids and grown-up.They are all from PATTI's blog. This is pretty long but so very informative.

Cousins

It's been years and years that have passed since I have seen my cousin, Maria. Her and her two children came over today to spend some time with us. It was great and her two wonderful kids we so cute and fun. Yay, for family!!
