Dinner time always the event...

Dinner time around our house can be quite the event. Sometimes we're...

messy... sometimes clean...
but always satisfied...

Thank you! Thank you!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas with Peanut as she celebrated her first Christmas. Christmas Eve was spent with the Meyers family at our home. Here she is sitting with her cousin's Matthew and Sarah in front of our Christmas tree before we opened presents. Poor Matthew was such a good sport as he was so eager to open presents. He was so patient waiting for all the grown ups to finish eating and then worked so hard herding us into the formal room only to be stalled by me wanting some cousin pictures. He didn't seem to mind too much as he enjoyed holding his cousin. So sweet. Here she is with her Daddy opening her stalking for the very first time. She got some bath toys, new plastic bibs and her first Christmas ornament to start her collection.

Here she is with me opening her first present, a piggy bank. She caught on to the ripping of paper very quickly.

Here we are at my mom's on Christmas evening opening gifts as a family. Here she got a pig that walks and oinks. So cute. The theme for her was pigs this year and not something we planned, it just happened.

The pig was from her Aunt Jessie, Uncle Steven and Cousin Camden.A video of Peanut playing with her Christmas presents at home on Christmas morning.

Our Winter Wonderland!

Let it snow and snow it did! We got about 1 1/2-2 feet where we live and it stuck around for 10 days. Peanut had her very first white Christmas. It was so beautiful and a lot of fun to play in. We walked around and took some photos. This one is of us down at Lords Lake by our house. Peanut did okay int he snow as long as we were holding her.The Lake was frozen.

This was how much snow we had by 9:00am on the first day. It started snowing at 4:00am or so.

By the afternoon Ty had to shovel the front walk it was so deep.

Merry Christmas

Peanut is wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas Season. Is she trying to call Santa?

Bedtime Fun!

Everyone has their own bedtime routine for their little one and we have ours. We just don't do the book thing. After trying serveral times trying to get her interested in books and stay interested was more of a feat than a quiet, relaxing time. She just always wants to climb off the bed; head first mind you. So Ty started a new game...
