Snow Bunny

Gender Reveal

Today our friends Tammy, Ed and Miss Madelyn had the sonogram to see the gender of the new baby. As I predicted, it is a little boy! We are now in talks about future dowry. We meet them out for lunch to hear the news.
Btw, i just love the picture of molly and joe. Just look at her sweet little hand touching his face. S0 sweet.

Crawford Christmas

Tonight we got with Joe's family. It was wonderful to see Grandma Jean, Jay, Tammy, Rachel, Phil and baby Jackson. Molly was smitten with Jackson, and kept looking at him saying "baby." We shared a wonderful meal and great company. We missed the family out of town. Mimi, John, Luke and Crystal.

White Christmas

Indeed, the blizzard came. We had to change our plans, slightly. Instead of Christmas at my parents we went to Nathan and Carina's. The only bummer was it was far to nasty to get great grandma out. Molly had a wonderful Christmas and was none the wiser to the changes. She was just happy to be with family, we all were. As far as her gifts, as expected she was unfazed. Don't get me wrong, she does love her baby doll, eebee puppet, blocks, bongo drum, little people farm, cookie cutters, puzzle and books. However, today she has been playing with the cookie tin and dish towel, HA!

Let it snow...not ice

Blizzard '09 is making havoc of plans. We are snuggled in our house on this Christmas Eve, unsure of what tomorrow will bring. As long as we have each other...and power, we should be fine! Here are some sweet pictures of Molly before bed tonight. I started, what i hope to be a Christmas tradition. We read "Night before Christmas," to Molly. My favorite Christmas book, "Cranberry Christmas," is at my parents. Hopefully, tomorrow she can hear that one. Good Night, and Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you all!

Cookies

We all went to grandma's for a cookie making party. Molly helped cut out cookies. More fun was eating them. The little stinker swiped a cookie, and really wanted to lick the icing off the spoon, but i intervened on that. We also had a fantastic time dancing to Christmas music.
After making cookies, the girls sat at their little table for pizza. Aren't they sweet?

Solstice party

On Saturday the Little's got together for a solstice party.
We made salt dough ornaments and enjoyed each other.
Annie was not thrilled with photo opts...but i adore her expression.

Time with daddy

I had to go to the store today. Being as it was so bitter cold, Molly stayed with daddy. She ran to the door when i came in...and this was what she was wearing. :)

Decorations

Molly loves to rearrange the snowflakes on the tree. She has a decorators eye.

Christmas in the park

Tonight we went to
Longview for Christmas in the park. Molly was in awe of all the lights. We hope to make this an annual trip.

playin'

Jennifer and James invited us over for a playdate today. Molly and James always have such a great time playing. James is all boy, so rough and tumble. When he knocks Molly down, he gives her a big hug. SO sweet.

What a difference a day makes

Yesterday Molly was fighting a cold something fierce. Complete with a fever, thankfully today she is doing much better. You can see her droopy eyes and rosy cheeks.

35

My Beautiful family, I love them.
This picture cracks me up, you can not tell, but she is cheesing at herself with a hat on looking in a mirror. Silly girl!


















Today i turn 35. I had a friend send me an email, she said "may all your wishes come true." I told her they already had. I am so thrilled with where i am in my life. i have a wonderful husband, that is a fantastic daddy. And we are so lucky to have such a sweet, healthy, beautiful little girl. She is our world....so really other then world peace and a healthy planet what more do i need? ok a money tree might be nice. :) if you know where we could get one of those.
Last night Nathan and Carina hosted the family for a birthday dinner. It was wonderful to be with the family. Tonight Joe and I went out for dinner. This is the first time we went to dinner without Molly. She stayed with Grandma and papa for a few hours. We all had a wonderful time!
