Looking a lot like Christmas

The Christmas Season brings it's own set of fun for all, and we've been having it!!!

Playing with our Nativity Aunt Andrea gave us last year

 Everyone around here enjoys the tree. And they both know they're not supposed to touch...

Helping me sort out the strings of lights

 Who wore them best???

Family photo at church

The tree downtown Grand Rapids! Little Ms. loved seeing the ice skaters and all the lights! We found that a baby is a great accessory, people were approaching us to take our picture!

Baby buddies in their Christmas finest :)

Getting together with friends in town for Christmas parties!

What a wonderful time of the year!

We've been having ALL the fun lately!

Weekend Warriors

Thanksgiving weekend has got to be my new favorite weekend. Four whole days to spend together! We made the most of things, going here and there and enjoying our days.

Friday at the Gardens. The trees are up!

We went to a tree farm, where, most people were cutting down trees, loading them on their SUVs, and sipping hot chocolate. When we approached, we saw the 'cheap trees' sign and spotted our little beauty within 30 seconds. Donzo! :)

There she is! Lovely!

Bowling with friends. I had a true mom moment when I bowled a strike and turned around to see that not a one witnessed it; they were all searching for a lotion bottle cap :) #classic

Fun fun fun! Please Thanksgiving come again!

A little turkey

Baby's FIRST Thanksgiving! Yay!!

 Good Morning! It's time for the Macy's Parade!

Turkey time! I'm so full!

Playing with her cousins

In our Thanksgiving finest

Breaking alllllll the baby rules, she was so exhausted, the next morning she snuggled with her dad and even fell back asleep - two more of baby's firsts!

We're so thankful for her and the joy she brings us :)

In my mouth

Allllll things and immediately please!

Or no, please.

Puffs, yes please.

Baby spoon, yes please. Soap bubbles, no please!

I think she's following in her momma's shoes as a professional taste tester!
