Decking The Halls

Our tree goes up Sunday!  We have to cut it down first...   In the mean time here is a glimpse of our holiday cheer.   

Snow!

It snowed last night, so we enjoyed a playful morning in our backyard!  For more pictures, go to our family website!  

Gratitude and Christmas Lights

As we tuck AJ in for bed and he curls up with Douglas, eyes already closed, he looks like an angel...my mind floods with how blessed I am.  I am grateful for a beautiful healthy son, the blessing of another child, a loving husband, my health,  an amazing family, my close friendships, a cozy home, and a fabulous job.  

Here are a couple pictures as AJ helped daddy put up the Christmas lights this afternoon.  

Capture This Moment

I never want to forget how perfect my mornings are with Addison...at this age...in this moment...his checks all rosey and his feet crossed in his footie PJ's.  There is something so harmonious about being at home in your pajamas...watching Thomas on the couch as mom makes breakfast.    

An In-House Date, A Hat, & A Onesie

Last night I added some bling to a onesie and a hat for Abby and surprised Andy with an in-house date.  You know the kind of date that doesn't require getting a sitter, but spices up some alone time.  We simply enjoyed some cheese, chocolate, and sparkling cider as we visited and watched TV after AJ went to bed.  It was fun, inexpensive, and something different.  Sometimes it is just the little things that can make all the difference in an evening.  

Beyond Imagination

Everyday I thank God for being blessed with Abby and Addison.  Children are such innocent reflections of everything wonderful in this world, and now I have an elegant gift to show off a mother's pride.  Check out Beyond Imagination on Etsy for more charming gifts.
