Getting Ready for Christmas

Just an update on our Christmas decorating, and life in general.  As you can see in the photo, Charlotte is very ready for Christmas.  She is super excited this year.  I love to see her little eyes light up when she looks at the lights and decorations… it's the sweetest!

  We are baking cookies with her friend on Sunday, and we are also having his parents over for dinner that evening.  I am looking forward to it!

I am almost finished with my shopping.  I just need to order one other thing for Charlotte, and something for my in-laws.

This photo was taken last weekend before we went to see the movie "Frozen" with her friend, Colson.  She wasn't a fan of the movie, but enjoyed spending time with her sweet friend.

Our "fake" tree is up and all decorated… I like it!  We would have a real tree, but I am just too allergic.

I am loving the lights in my dining room this year.  And I found the adorable pom pom garland at Target.

And at night… my favorite!

I hope you all are having a wonderful December.  We are enjoying the holidays, and staying busy.  I can not believe Christmas is only two weeks away.  I still need to address my Christmas cards, and do some wrapping… I have two weeks, right???

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, Dear Friends!

Halloween

We had a really nice Halloween this year!  Charlotte was totally into trick-or-treating and really enjoyed it.  We headed out around 5:30 in the early evening, as she just couldn't wait any longer.  She was excited all day long!  After about an hour of trick-or-treating we were back home to hand out candy.  I think she enjoyed this part as much as she did trick-or-treating.

Our little bunny!  I painted really cute whiskers on her face, but she was not a fan, and off they went!

Oh, how I love her little cotton tail!

We stopped by my husband's office for lunch on Halloween and he snapped this sweet photo of the two of us.

It was a great day!

Fall Decorating... Outside

Our front steps are all ready for Fall.  We had fun selecting pumpkins at Whole Foods this year.  We were going to visit a pumpkin patch, but haven't made it there yet.  We like these pumpkins, and we think they are perfect for carving, and maybe even stuffing with something yummy!

Happy girl!

I usually always go with yellow mums, but the purple ones were really calling my name this year.  I love them!

And my silly girl posing for the camera.  She is very excited about Halloween and is planning to dress-up as bunny... it should be fun!

Totally Random Photos

Ok, I am so far behind on posting.  Hopefully I will get this blog updated very soon!  As I was going through photos for a post today, I came across these sweet photos of my little munchkin.  Since I didn't have this blog when Charlotte was really little I thought I would share a few baby/toddler photos with you.

Just look at my sweet girl celebrating her very first birthday! 

I love those sweet baby cheeks. 

And celebrating mommy's birthday at thirteen months.  

My little ballerina celebrating Halloween at nineteen months.

And at 2.5 years old getting ready to celebrate another Halloween.

Thanks for letting me reminisce a bit.
