Halloween Part 1

25th bday

I had my 25th birthday this year! There was much anticipation from dustin and what my gift could be. Well it was the greatest gift ever... a brand new Cannon rebel camera!!! So this is partly why I have not posted any post because I have not uploaded any of my pics til now :) My birthday was very special with family and friends for dinner at one of my favorite places.. J Alexanders. And the night before, mom kept Hb for us and we had a great date night at On the Border and Alice and Wonderland 3D. It was a lot of fun!!

Nicole's bday

To top off the weekend, we were able to have Hailey's baby dedication at our church. It was such a special thing and I am so glad that it was on my birthday weekend. She wasn't to found of going to the preacher, but was so cute pointing and waving at everyone :) She got to do it with her good friend Grant that you will see in the pics. We had a great lunch that was very filling and then opened some presents. I feel very blessed :)

Baby Dedication

Here are a few other pictures that I have taken over the past couple of weeks. Sorry to cram everything together, but I hope to get back on track soon!

Hailey 9months

Also please excuse the appearance of the blog until I can finish updating the theme:) My computer will not work with me on uploading HB's pic at the top, so there isn't one for right now!

Mommy makes me laugh

HB thinks it is the funniest thing when someone sneezes... even the dog. She was in a super funny mood, and I sneezed for real one time and she started laughing so hard. So we decided to tape it.

This look right to you Mom?

It's finally my favorite time of year.. Christmas. You can't help but have a smile on your face when you walk into a decorated house, or turn on the radio and listen to the music, or see the presents under the tree that you know will be a big surprise! It is all just so exciting and fun. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is all the decor and lights. I must admit I go a little crazy with it, but it just makes the holidays that much better. I have realized just how hard it is to decorate when you have a 6 month old at home. So instead of trying to rush things, I sat her down and let her play as much as she wanted to with all the pretty lights. She loves to sit there and stare at them. I got some of my garland and wrapped it around her. She must be a mommys girl because she was all smiles. I got some great pics of her. I cant wait for Christmas this year because I know that it is going to be SO MUCH fun. One of dads friends is playing Santa this year and is so generously coming to our house for pics. I am so excited and think that it is going to be a fun experience. I cant wait to see how Hailey reacts.. I have a feeling it is going to be really funny :)

(i also added the pics of HB with the pickle on Thanksgiving!)
