Thanksgiving

We had a great time hosting everyone for Thanksgiving this year. It was nice to have a day to eat good food and visit with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who came over and helped with lunch, we were so glad you could make it.

Audrey's First Birthday!

Audrey had a great first birthday, full of family, friends and lots of fun!

We started the day with a little grocery shopping. We needed to get a quick coffee for teacher Carol and some birthday treats for her friends at school. I didn't get any pictures at school, but Audrey had a fun time playing with her friends while Mommy got a haircut. Addyson had a present for Audrey and everyone loved the birthday treats!

After school, we had a birthday lunch at Rose's with Aunt Kate!

Ready for the party at our house!

Audrey- One Year Old!

Our little muffin in one year old today! It seems like just yesterday we were holding her for the first time. She is growing up so fast, but we are truly enjoying every day. She is so independent and determined, and we know she is going to do great things someday. We love her more than she will ever know and we are so excited to watch her grow and learn in the coming year!

Happy Birthday Little Miss!

Telling Mommy how old she is :)

CHEESE!

"It's too early for photos Mama"

"All Done"

52 Weeks Old

Well I couldn't get much of a smile this morning, but Miss Audrey will be ONE tomorrow! My how time has flown by. We have such a big girl now. She is walking, talking and has all kinds of teeth. :) She loves to color pictures and has figured out that if she hits her sippy cup on the front of the fridge we will fill it with water. She can climb up on all her kid chairs and she loves to make her little rocking chair rock. Audrey is starting to drink real milk now and she looking forward to eating some cake for her birthday tomorrow! We love her more than words can say and are so thankful for our healthy, happy girl.
