Busy

We've been super busy lately, we bought our first house a couple weeks ago and we're finally getting all settled in. I'll have to take some pictures of the house once I finish painting and decorating. For now I thought I'd post this picture of Josie and Russ. Josie insisted on wearing her snow white costume, with her boots and hat to the store the other night.

Christmas and Stuff

It's so weird to think that Christmas has come and gone already. I wish I could pause time and enjoy the Holiday season a little bit more. Anyway, here is a picture of Josie helping me make sugar cookies a few days before Christmas. By help I mean she made a huge mess with the frosting and sprinkles and then ate like 10 cookies. She quite enjoyed herself!

My favorite part about Christmas this year was watching Josie open her presents, she was so excited!

Christmas Eve pajamas.

Josie showing me her new Foofa stuffed animal.

And lastly, this has nothing to do with Christmas but Russ and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on the 28th. I can't believe it's already been 4 years... however, sometimes it feels like it's been an eternity. :)

Merry Christmas!

December Happenings

I can't believe Christmas is almost here, it seems like it should still be summer, but alas the Christmas season is in full swing. Josie has been really excited about everything Christmas this year. When my mom was decorating the tree Josie said, 'I so esited!' She was even excited to see Santa, that is until it came time to sit on his lap. I can't wait for her to open her presents because I have a feeling she's going to be 'so esited' about those as well.

This last weekend our friends Matthew and Michelle invited us to their cabin. Josie couldn't wait to get outside, we bundled her up like the kid from A Christmas Story, to make sure she didn't get cold in the snow. It was a fun weekend...we had a great time eating yummy food, playing in the snow and relaxing by the fire!

Thanksgiving Weekend

I didn't take any pictures at Thanksgiving and I haven't really taken many pictures this last month. :( We did however have a very yummy Thanksgiving and I made three banana cream pies, that turned out quite well, if I must say so myself. For now I hope you will enjoy this great quality picture that Josie and I got at the mall on Black Friday with our friend McGruff.

Family Pictures

My sister Laura took our family pictures last month and they turned out really well. Josie was actually pretty good, which is quite a contrast from last year!

Happy Halloween!

Josie was Snow White for Halloween this year. She absolutely loved her dress and warmed up to the idea of taking candy from strangers very quickly. She loves sweets... like her mom!

This has nothing to do with Halloween but I thought Josie looked cute in this picture with my slippers on and no diaper. It's a bit risque I know, I'm sorry. :)
