Our first Christmas tree in our house!

This is our first Christmas in our house so things have been exciting for us as we prepare for Santa to come visit. When out shopping for our tree we picked what we thought was "the perfect tree" until we got home and realized it was too big...oops! Oh well I guess we learned our lesson. Gracie had a good time helping decorate the bottom of the tree. She loves to turn on the lights in the morning and off at night when she goes to bed. I hope to take her to see Santa this weekend! Cross your fingers that she puts on her happy face!!

It's sNoWiNg!

We woke up and there was snow on the ground! Gracie was so excited to see snow. I was doing dishes and things got kinda quiet so I turned around and found her standing on the window seal watching it snow outside. As badly as I wanted to scold her for standing where she's not supposed to be standing, she was just curious and it was pretty darn cute:) It probably doesn't help either that I went for the camera too! Oh well...

Chilly day!

It was a sunny yet cold day outside so we went out to swing. Gracie loves to teeter-totter and scream "higher, higher"! Nate got a picture of her at the perfect moment!

Thanksgiving was in the good ol Tri cities this year at mom and dads. We missed Syd and Jeff lots and lots and lots! There was good food, drinks, laughs and more all day long. Gracie loved running around with her cousins Emma and Ben. Nate had to work so Gracie and I brought him home some left-overs and a few pieces of pie.

New Swing Set!!!

Nate worked super hard and finally finished Gracie's princess swing set! She LOVES it. This morning she woke up asking for her hat and gloves so she could go out and swing.

1st time @ gymnastics

NAte and I took Gracie and Hayden to gymnastics for the first time this week and they both had a good time...or maybe it was just that we got out of the house:) But now that Hayden is crawling he was lovin all the stuf to chase after and Gracie was all over the place trying everything that all the other kids were doing!

buddies♥

So during the day I babysit my girlfriends little boy, Hayden. Gracie loves Hayden sooo much she can't hardly stand it. So I put them both in their cute little Halloween outfits and did a little photo op, some of these pics are so cute (to me at least)! Gracie wouldn't let Hayden hold the little ghost basket with the candy in it...guess you had to be there!
