Lilah Laughing

We are both getting cabin fever...........we are finding humor in just about anything. Who knew a flapping blanket could be so funny?!? Turn up the volume and enjoy my baby's belly laugh!

Poor Baby

Can you guess what Santa is bringing Lilah for Christmas this year? Here's a hint, her babies won't be pushed around by their necks anymore. They will have a more relaxing ride ;)

Snow Day #3.......A day at Grandma's

The breathtaking drive from our place to Grandma's house!


We got a good start on our Christmas cookies. We made snowballs, spritz, sugar cookies, and magic bars..........mmmm! The house smelled so yummy ;)

Mom sent me home with the best homemade stew and garlic bread.

Lilah had the best time chasing the cat, tasting cookies, and banging (I mean playing) with grandma's pots and pans. Thanks mom for the wonderful day! I love that we live so close and can enjoy these times together!



A snow fire??

Anyone who knows Mike knows he really likes to burn things. So why did it still surprise me when he decided to start a fire in the middle of a snow storm??? Here is how my husband spent his Thursday afternoon. I bet you were thinking, "Now why didn't I think of that!"

Lilah's first snow




Although we didn't play in the snow (it was TOO cold), I think Lilah liked it. She was full of "Wows" and points. We did venture out for a quick trip to see Santa. I am pretty sure Lilah asked for a baby crib and stroller for her babies ;)

A great day!

One of my favorite decorations - I love when its all lit up at night.

My newest Christmas addition. I love my nativity scene!

Our Christmas tree. So far Lilah has managed to stay away.


The start of the snow earlier this evening. Now there is like 4+ inches!!
Its snowing like crazy.............I got all my decorations up today............I bought eggnog creamer for my morning coffee...........I started my Christmas cards........what could be better! I LOVE the holidays

Karli's Baby Shower

This weekend we showered Baby Koning with lots of goodies. It was a wonderful afternoon spent with great friends. I am so excited to meet Karli's little one. She is going to be an amazing Mommy.
I see dangerous mom's weekends in the future.........Go Cougs!!

Lis and Adrianne take a break from the cupcakes to snap a pic :)

Wreath Making Time

My parents have an annual wreath making party at their property that we have become quite fond of. Its so nice to be outside enjoying a warm fire, a tasty beverage, lots of treats and good company. Us girls get to be creative while the guys can escape and shoot guns and be manly.
