Update!!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted! We've been so busy (and sick). I am working a lot of hours for the holiday season. Our blog is in serious need of a make-over since it isn't fall anymore! I hope to get that done on my days off next week! We'll see how it goes with Christmas right around the corner! In the meantime, I thought I'd share our Christmas Card!

I made it with Pinecones and Holly Berries by Golden Girls Digital Designs. I love the way it turned out!!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!! We had a wonderful day at home, just the 3 of us. It was very relaxing and our dinner was yummy! I am thinking we may stay home every year now that I know that I can cook a turkey! ;) Here's some pics from this weekend!!

Random Sillyness Brought to You by Alyssa

I have been working a LOT lately. Alyssa has adjusted really well to me working but, I am definately looking forward to work slowing down after Christmas! I've been taking pictures but, am finding it hard to find the time to get them on the blog! Ack!

Greg turned Alyssa's bed into a big girl bed last Saturday and she loves it! She's fallen off a couple time but, she's getting more and more used to it! I am so proud of her! Here's some pics from the last week!

Some Mickey Mouse Love

Alyssa LOVES Mickey Mouse! We have a Mickey in every single size from a tiny magnet on the fridge to the 40" Mickey that Uncle Dennis got for her! Mickey has seriously become another family member in our house! Alyssa has a little Mickey in her bed and she won't go to sleep without him! She says, "Mickey, Mickey!" over and over until we grab him for her. She cuddles him and kisses him! I was finally able to snap some pics right before bed!!


Cuddling With Mickey!


So Happy!!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Alyssa!!!

Today was Alyssa's 2nd Birthday! She woke up with a cold and it's getting worse. Poor baby! How awful to be sick on your own birthday! But, she wasn't too sick to open presents and play with her new toys! Although, she didn't eat any of her cake! :( Oh well. At least, she can finally have cold medicine!

Here's some pics from her big day!

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a fantastic Halloween this year! Alyssa had so much fun! She didn't really like her costume very much and cried when we put the hat on. She calmed down once she realized that she was getting candy because of the costume. She liked all the other kids and would say "Scary!" when she saw a scary Halloween Costume! Even with the rain, we had really good Halloween!


She loves her pumpkin!


All ready to go!


She hates the hat!


SO CUTE!


So happy with her candy!!

Pumpkin Patch

With the weather we've been having over the last couple of weeks, I wasn't sure if were going to make it to the pumpkin patch this year! Fortunately, the rain held off long enough to go pick out some pumpkins! Alyssa had a blast!


Big Tractor!


Funny Girl!


She loved the sheep!


She is such a pretty girl!
