My Christmas present

I got a new camera lens for Christmas and think we will get along just fine.

So tired

I know a little boy who didn't take a nap three days in a row

Happy December

I think the holidays are completely wonderful.  We kept ourselves plenty busy in December.

It wouldn't be a normal for us not to have a project going on.  Don't be scared, it's just Jared.  He redid Connor's entire ceiling.  And by redid, I mean tear everything down and start from scratch.  Which reminds me...I have pictures of that I should put up.  This is a night after sanding.

Just because...

Christmas wouldn't be complete without a gingerbread house.  I think Connor gets his ability to focus on projects from me.  Or not.  Notice how carefully he's putting the candy on the x on the house.

Merry Christmas!!!  It was a fun Christmas had by all!

We found twister at a yard sale and pulled it out for Christmas.  Jared said he was getting it for Connor and I thought he was crazy, but I've been proven wrong.  Connor loves it and is really good at it too.

The Gonzalez family came down for a few days too and we had lots of fun with them!

Connor thinks their matching ties are pretty great.  Thanks grandma and grandpa B!

Her first pony tail.  Cutest pony tail I've ever seen

 

Freezing rain

I love the after math of freezing rain as long as driving is not in the picture.

One year photo shoot

These adorable photos were taken by Marci

She's had a birthday shout hooray!

This little girl of mine turned 1 last week.  She's amazing!  She is always happy and beaming, unless she's sad.  There's not really an in between with her.  She's walking, does lots of babbling and pointing, eats whatever we put in front of her, loves to be chased, gets a twinkle in her eye when she knows she's pushing her boundaries (aka let me make sure you see me start the climb the stairs mom and then I'll go as fast as I can)  and absolutely loves Connor.  I can already assure you she is a people person.  You would think some tragic event happened whenever she gets left in the kitchen by herself.  It doesn't seem to matter who she's with, just as long as she's with someone.  She is such a fun little girl and it has been such a fun year with her. 

Amazing what a difference a year makes.
