Holidays

This past month has been a blast and has flown by. Adalyn is 8 months old now.. (insane). I finally have my husband back (finished the semester).

My sister got her nephews and niece together to take some pictures with them. Here are a couple I loved. She is such a good aunt.

For Thanksgiving we went over to my parents house and celebrated. Katelyn's family also flew in and it was a blast. I was in charge of mashed potatoes and the green bean casserole. We ate the yummy food and the kids worked on gingerbread trains. Jeff also joined the kids in making them. We went home for awhile so Addie could take a good nap. After we all went to see the movie Frozen. It was a really cute movie. Addie kept talking at the screen so I had to take her to the bottom a couple of times.

Later that night Jeff went home with Adalyn and I went out shopping with my mom. We had lots of fun and got some good deals that night.

That next day Jeff decided we should go to the mall. We went and it we were surprised because it was not that crowded at all. They had some good deals as well.

Go check out Pigtails and Gumdrops facebook page. They made Adalyn's thanksgiving bow and the shirt! 

After Thanksgiving it was time to go pick out our Christmas Tree. 

After watching Hunger Games Jeff has been talking about getting a bow and arrow yet he doesn't want to buy one. We were at the store and saw some kid ones so we ended up getting a kid one. haha Let's just say hes having a little too much fun with this thing. I love that he is still a kid at heart. It makes life so much more fun.

I just had to post this picture because this was one of her little tantrums. She still doesn't crawl but she rolls around to get from place to place and I was moving her toy and she finally had enough. 

This girl brightens my day everyday. Her smiles are contagious to me.

Adalyn loves her cousin Braxton. She can stare at him all day. She loves to watch the crazy things that little boy does. Braxton loves to help take care of her. 

Mornings are the best. She loves taking baths in her duck tub. Her rubber duck is her favorite toy while shes bathing. She would probably sit in there all day if I let her. 

Lately Adalyn wants to be rocked to sleep and I am totally okay with that. Before she wouldn't want to cuddle and I would just have to set her in her crib. Now she doesn't want me to put her down until she is almost fast asleep. I don't mind at all. 

The other day my dad, Jeff, Addie and I walked down Christmas Tree Lane. It was so much fun to spend time with my dad. We had a blast. He came over first and we had grilled cheese and soup. Then I made us up some hot chocolate to take with us. Of course if you know my dad we had to stop La Boulangerie to get some bread pudding and cookies. :)

 Last night my whole family met at my parents for a gingerbread house making contest! It was so much fun. My mom had Broccoli Cheese soup and Corn chowder with bread bowls waiting for us. Whoever made the best gingerbread house won a prize. Well at the end my mom couldn't decide so she had us draw a raffle and Jeff and I won. We wont a gift card to Sakanya and 2 movie tickets for a date night. :) We had so much fun.

I love the Holiday season. It is so much fun to spend time as a family. I am grateful for the family that I have.
