Saying goodbye to 2012

Well, 2012 has been a pretty awesome year. We welcomed a very special new person to our family, started new jobs, and learned how awesome our little foursome truly is. I can't wait to see what 2013 has in store for us.

Here are a few pictures from Christmas, New Year's Eve, and in between:

Projects

Today's project was a tutu dress for our little ballerina.

Fall

I can't believe it is fall already. Time has flown by since Nora joined the family.

This weekend we did a bunch of fall activities. We picked out some pumpkins at a local fruit stand, purchased some decorations, and had fun eating scary cookies (halloween Oreos) and watching Halloween movies like Scared Shrekless and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I am looking forward to enjoying more fall festivities this month.

Family, family, family

Today we went to breakfast with our cousins: Joni, Mark, Eric, Lucas, and Connor and Aunt Dani came too. After breakfast we took a trip to Huber's Farm. While we were there we played on the playground, picked apples in the orchard, went to the petting zoo, traveled through a corn maze, fed the fish, talked to a goose named Bubba and ate a late lunch (with fried biscuits!). We had a very good day.

Getting so big.

Ellie is now 2 and Nora is 5 and a half months. They are perfect. I am so blissfully in love!

Look at me mom...

Nora is really starting to enjoy playing in her activity center. I can't believe she will be 4 months old this Friday.

Fun in the sun

We went to Grammy and Grumpaw's house today to play in the sprinkler.

Only One

This weekend Ellie went to the lake with her Grammy and Poppaw (aka Grumpaw). Based on the pictures that her aunt Dani keeps sending, I think she is having a pretty fun time...



Meanwhile, back at home: Ronnie and I are enjoying some one on one time with Miss Nora Belle. We went out to lunch on Saturday, went shopping for Ellie's birthday presents, and we ate pizza and watched movies together. Nora even got to take a bath without any "help" from her older sister.






It sure has been quiet around here this weekend. Don't tell anybody, but I think I miss the chaos just a little bit!

2 Months Old

I neglected to post these super cute pictures I took of Nora on her 2 month birthday. She now weighs in at 12.6 pounds and is 21 inches tall.

Quiet...

As you can see my living room is completely destroyed. It is a small price to pay for a quiet toddler!

One Month

I took Nora to the doctor last week for her one month check up. She is growing like a weed. She now weighs in at 10.1 pounds and is 21 inches long. That was quite a bit of growing!

Chocolate!

Ellie really enjoyed a piece of the Kit Kat bar we gave her yesterday afternoon. It is amazing how a little bit of chocolate can go a long way.

For Ellie

Things have been crazy around here since we brought Nora home. We wanted to do something special for Ellie this weekend to let her know we still love her very much. We decided to take her to a special family friendly charity event that benefited the March of Dimes. They had a petting zoo, moon bounce, a live band, kid friendly music classes, lots of food, and more. Ellie had a blast. She spent most of her time talking and dancing with Cinderella.




We also finally got enough snow this weekend for Ellie to play in it. She thought it was pretty cool.
