Christmas 2009

Me, Logan, Chris

Opening presents Christmas eve he would occasionally find one in a cracker or cereal box... the first one he opened he was REALLY disappointed and wanted to open another one because he honestly thought that's what he got. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the first one, it kinda made me feel bad.

Christmas morning Logan really couldn't decide what to open next... In between presents he would sit there for a few seconds and you could tell he was really thinking... it was too cute.

Well, I finally got my apron finished...after two weeks. Now I am going to make one for a dear friend... I'll put pics up of hers (mine wasn't too pretty) practice makes perfect right?!

I made some muffins from scratch for my sweetie... Apple Cinnamon Banana Muffins... YUM YUM!

I have been looking for an ornament for our first Christmas together... and I can't find anything (suitable for our situation). So, I am going to make one... I have a few ideas. But if anyone has any suggestions on where to find one or maybe some ideas of your own you'd like to share, I'd love to hear em!

I hope everyone is taking time to stop an enjoy their families and the spirit of Christmas in between all the hectic shopping and getting here for this gathering and going there for that one...

See you all soon... With more pics of course!

My Little Man is Growing Up

That's the preschool graduating class of 2009.... all 5 of em.... they are sooooo cute in their caps and gowns.... they all sang some adorable songs..... I even got teary eyed when they sang, and my little one isn't even the one graduating, YET.

That's my little man, 4th from the left.... They sang a few songs for the graduating class. It brought tears to my eyes. He's just growing up soooooo fast, next year he'll be the one graduating preschool.

I'm sooooo glad for this warm weather! Its about time!

We've been trying "different" foods lately. L is so picky. We made chocolate chip pancakes shaped like mickey mouse the other day. That was interesting... I have a 'mold' for that, but it didn't work so well. I just ended up making miniature pancakes... and he loved em anyway...

And then I cut a star shape out of his grilled cheese, he ate that too!

So I'm going to try a few more things this week and see what happens.

We had an Easter Egg Hunt at work last weekend. Logan had a blast! It's his first Easter he really understands what it going on. It's soooo fun!

He found 27 eggs, and counted them all. I didn't realize he could count so high :)

It's Been A While

Hello again! I hope everyone is doing well! I am. I saw a close friend this week that I haven't seen in almost 4 years... Miss ya J

We've been doing Easter things. Sunday was a beautiful day and now it's literally freezing out. :( Bummer.

More pics and blogs to come.
