December Catch Up

December also passed us by much too quick! We kept busy with lots of fun holiday events. Here are a few pictures from our happenings throughout the month!

We got the house decorated early this year and LOVED having everything out! We also put our lights outside and once again had someone tamper with and cut the strands of lights 4 different times. This also happened last year and so we put a game camera out this year to try and catch them but never had it at the right angle. We kinda think it is one of our neighbors but are totally puzzled as to why they would cut them and thought we have a good relationship with everyone around us. We plan to put up a motion sensor camera before Christmas next year and are determined to catch whoever is doing this!

We LOVED our new Little People Nativity Scene

Baby loves running around in just a diaper at night

My FAVORITE picture! Cade would lay down like this frequently throughout the month and just stare up at the tree. He never stayed long and one night I was able to capture him!

Love this Moose Boy!

Santa Baby!

Silly boy!

I LOVED this little Reindeer shirt my Mom made for Cade

So sweet!

November Catch Up

November passed us by in a blur! Cade was sick with his first ear infection during the week between his party in Wolfforth and his party here and then had 2 more ear infections after that and a ruptured ear drum. (Actually it has just been one long ear infection that we haven't ever been able to beat no matter what antibiotics we have had him on.)

Despite being sick most of the month, we have still had lots of fun! Here are a few things that we had going on throughout November.

Cade is LOVING having teeth and being able to try new foods!

We really enjoy all our new toys and have lots of fun playing with them!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Both mine and Gregg's family came to celebrate with at our house this year! My parents, and brother Seth came to town on Wednesday. My Dad, Seth, and Gregg cooked an all boys Thanksgiving lunch that was wonderful!

Gobble! Gobble!

Seth, Gregg and I all went out at midnight Thursday for early morning Black Friday shopping! It has been several years since I have partaken in the Black Friday scene and it was quite an experience! Seth's girlfriend, Julie, stayed in Lubbock to shop early Friday morning with her family and then flew to Dallas around noon on Friday. After we picked her up at the airport then we all went and did more shopping together!

Gregg's family all came in Friday afternoon also and were here for the rest of the weekend! We enjoying having both families together and being able to host everyone at our house this year!

We had a great time over Thanksgiving celebrating with our families! We were very thankful for our families and love anytime that we are able to spend with them.

More 1st Birthday Partying!

We celebrated Cade again this weekend with a Birthday party here at home! A lot of our friends have kids 2 and under so it was really fun to get all the little ones together and watch them interact and play.

We used the same dino theme and party decor for this party because it is just so darn cute! (and I didn't have it in my to do a whole second theme!) Decorating for the party was really easy this time around since we figured it all out last weekend and just repeated this time.

Sweet friends!

We had such a great time with all our friends! Cade is one lucky boy to be loved my so many people! Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate!
