My Christmas Inspiration

I saw this decor in the Pottery Barn Kids Christmas catalog. Not that we could ever buy all of the pottery barn decorations, I decided to steal the look and do my version. I've been shopping for nutcrackers on ebay, Craigslist, and thrift stores since October. I'm pretty proud of the way it looks. I think I spent 1/3 of what it would have cost to buy the look from pottery barn.

Hannah's first parade date.

Hannah and Jack had a date at the Chuy's Children Giving to Children parade today. I wasn't sure if we were going to go, but Jack called Hannah and invited her to sit with him, eat some snacks, and watch some floats (all for a good cause)! Hannah and Jack had a fabulous time sharing snacks (Jack sure does like blueberries!), watching the floats, and people watching. Thanks, Jack and Kristen, Jack's mommy, for spending the afternoon with us!

Hannah's secret pal.

Hannah has a secret thanksgiving pal. She got a card in the mail from her pal. She was so excited to receive mail. I told her I bet I knew who her pal was, but I wasn't telling!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gettin' some love from cousin Katie.

My yummy sausage, broccoli, and mushroom quiche.

What a fabulous thanksgiving we had. We had brunch in the morning with the "Diggs Family" then lunch in the afternoon with the "Lunoff family". Hannah ate quiche for the first time (that I made, it was beautiful AND delicious), turkey, mashed potatoes, and of course pumpkin pie.

I can do it myself.

Hannah was hell bent on putting her pants on herself! At least she let me pick them out for her.

Nothing to see here Mommy, move along

My Elmo

My new best friend is a furry red creature named Elmo. I lovingly call him "Mo". He is so fun. He does the Hokey Pokey when I press his hand.

Happy 3rd Anniversary (11-12-08)

Happy Anniversary, My Love! I can't believe it's already been three years. How time flys. You're the most amazing husband and father. I love you as my husband and my best friend. Thank for the wonderful years that we've shared and I look forward to many, many more.

Hannah loves to be outside.

She just loves it. Wether it's chasing the cat or just lounging on the back porch with her snack cup and some yummy Honey Bunny Grahams, she runs for the back door when she's hear's us open it.

Wurstfest!

Richard and I went to Wursfest for the Sterling Birthday celebration. We had a lot of fun. Who knew they could put so many different types of food on a stick?! We ate a sausage on a stick, enjoyed some German polka music, and had a great time with some new friends!

HAM!

I don't know where she get's it from?

Trick or Treating!

We let Hannah visit some houses on Halloween. She didn't collect much candy, but sure had fun walking around the neighborhood as Hannah the Great White Shark! We carefully guarded over her as her "Lifeguards". We had a great time.
