Christmas Decorating

Finally.....I got time to do some decorating. Grace has been asking to do this for a while now. I got some new decorations for the basement fireplace. I absolutely love it!

I made this wreath by using the greens I cut off the Christmas tree. First time I have ever done that, and I am pretty proud of the outcome!

Grace LOVED helping me decorate the tree. She was in her prime. She is very proud of her Christmas tree!

Baby shower!

Ross's sister Autumn is expecting her first baby in January, so we threw a baby shower for her and the new baby! It was a good day. We thought we wouldn't be able to have it at first due to the pure ice that formed on the ground overnight causing slippery roads...but it ended up melting in time and everyone was able to make it. I made a diaper cake for the occasion, first one ever. Turned out pretty nice.

The cupcakes I made..not to fancy..but cute

The night before the baby shower, Ross's mom and I were chatting about the baby, calling it "baby Gode" since they didn't find out what they are having. Grace looked at us and said "They named their baby Gode??" It was the cutest, funniest thing I have heard in a while.

Happy 1st Birthday William!

I am having a hard time realizing that today, my little baby is 1! Can't believe 1 year has gone by already. The morning started out with dr's appts and shots. Not a fun way to start your first birthday..but it all worked out. We made lunch and had a little party for him with just us 5! William Loved his cake. He is always such a happy baby. Just started walking a couple days ago, he has 6 teeth, loves to eat, is happiest when Grace and Charlie play with him. William loves to be held, open and close the microwave, eats just about anything I make. We love you! Happy Birthday William!

SNOW!!

Grace was so excited this morning when she woke up and saw snow on the grass, she came running in our room screaming to get out of bed and look outside. She ate her breakfast so fast and got dressed faster then I have ever seen her, put her snow suit on and headed outside, at 8:35am! She has been wanting to make a snow angel all fall! Once they were out, the snow turned to rain, and they got soaking wet. Grace got upset at me when I told her to come in the house!

Charlie ate pretty fast as well, he was more upset grace beat him outside. I told grace not to eat the snow.....shows how well that sunk in!:)(Sorry about the fuzzy picture, my camera thought the chairs were my main focus! oops)

On Friday, I took grace to the ENT(ear, nose and throat) doctor. For about a year now she has had bloody noses a minimum of 3 times a month. Some last really long, others pretty short. She has gotten pretty used to them by now and doesn't scream as loud when they start. Ross had taken the kids to the mall play area on Wednesday and Grace had one there and when she got home. The ENT doctor said her vessels are pretty close to the surface. He found two vessels that he thought were causing the problem, and cauterized them. Grace had to have some numbing medicine in first, she did really well with this. After he cauterized the vessel, she just broke down. She said the "medicine" stung. I believe it probably did. She did awesome sitting still in the chair while he worked. She got lots of fun treats from the nurse afterwards.
