Christmas Cookies

We had a blast making cookies with Shelby! She did such a great job.... and she is growing up so fast! She is 18 months and already wants to do everything herself. We had to fill the jar of sprinkles back up after every cookie, I think she had more fun dumping and pouring the sprinkles out of the jar! Like her father she also loved eating the m&m's rather than use them to decorate. When all was done she even gave dad bites of her cookies... after she ate the m&m's of course.

Snow Angels

I do not remember making snow angels growing up... maybe sand angels???  But this is one of the reasons I love living in Colorado...The Snow! Besides snow days which are few and far between.... the snow is beautiful! I love waking up to snow covered rooftops and when the sun hits the snow and the whole world around you has a glitter glow to it... it is quite magical. I hope we have a white Christmas this year. It is even more magical to spend time in the snow with Shelby. Heath and I had a blast.... not sure if Shelby loved making the snow angels as much as Heath loved helping her. However she loved throwing snowballs at us.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving landed on Heath's Birthday this year. Our original plan was to be in California and go to Disneyland and hangout with family and friends and although we were able to hangout with family and friends it was here in Colorado instead. Our trip was cancelled after a series of unfortunate events, but we were so blessed to spend Thanksgiving with Heaths sister and her family...although we forgot to take pictures. Heath turned 34 this year! Happy Birthday Day Heath we love ya ;)

Although we missed Disneyland .... the creative thanksgiving stories we heard from our nieces and nephew made it all worth it!

Halloween

Shelby had a blast this Halloween.  She mostly loved holding and loving her twin cousin "Alice" and the "Queen of Hearts" aka Reese and Presley and the trunk or treat. She was not so excited about going up to strangers and saying "trick or treat" however when we got to the end and she realized her bucket was no longer empty and full of goodies she was one happy camper. We love that we live so close to our cousins. On Halloween she got more of a trick rather than a treat. :( We went to the doctors and instead of a treat she got blood work with a scary needle. She did get her treat when she was done though.
