We had such great weather all the way through the end of the year, and this was taken on one of our many park days in November. Claire and Hadley are such good little friends. Claire still calls her "Baby Haddie" even though Hadley is definitely more of a toddler like Claire these days. :)
One day in November I was having a terrible day and Ryan was out of town in Nashville. Next thing I know, this beautiful fall arrangement showed up at my house. It made my whole day!
Claire is my little buddy while Lucy is at preschool. This particular day, we sat on the couch together while Claire "read" book after book to me and Minnie. She ended each one with an enthusiastic "AMEN!" We're still working on amen vs. the end. Ha!
We had our cousins come over one Friday night and took some pizza over to the Naz play place for some fun!
The aftermath of Lucy's birthday was horrendous. I took a couple pictures so that the next time I feel like my house is a disaster, I can just look back on these and know that it's probably much better than it was on this day!
Lucy loves her new fishing game she got for her birthday.
Who needs pants?! Ha! This is how Claire fell asleep for naps one day... pants halfway down.
Claire found this Christmas ornament of hers with a big C on it and of course she thought it was a purse. Eve after we hung it up on the tree, it would constantly be missing because she had taken it off and was wearing it around her wrist or carrying like a purse. Silly girl!
We set up our Christmas tree and realized that the lights on it went bad and wouldn't light up (well, half of them). There was no fixing it, so we headed out to get a new one at Costco. We love this tree because it is a little bit bigger and you can change between white lights or colored lights.
We kept things simple this year and just did some white icicle lights around the front. Along with our big Christmas wreath (that you can't see in this picture), I though it looked simple and pretty.
