Christmas Card 2011

I once again did not get any Christmas cards in the mail this year.

So a blog Christmas card will just have to work :)

Wishing you and your family a

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas Time

Its hard to believe that last year our baby girl had only been home from the NICU for 12 days before it was Christmas. She was the best present and it so fun to cuddle with her and soak up all her tinyness.

This year she is a whole new kind of fun. She has loved "helping" Mom decorate the house and the ornaments are slowly making there way to just the upper half of the tree. I guess thats what happens when you have a one year old around the house :) 

2011

I wish this time of year could last forever. Four more days till Christmas. It is flying by way too fast. Next on the list: visit Santa at the Mall and see the lights at Temple Square. Hopefully this weekend will be filled with cuddle time, movies, hot chocolate, and lots of  family, food, and relaxation. Hope Santa finds us too. We have all been very good this year :) 

TP Encounter

Jadyn discovered how cool toilet paper is a few weeks ago. Everytime she leaves the room I know where she is usually headed. And yes she loves to eat it. This is what happens when I forget to put it up where she can't reach it. Who is her Mother? 

I read somewhere that little messes left behind are reminders that a baby lives and plays here.. and that I love. 

wish list

.1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.  9. 10.  11. 

One of my favorite bloggers, Sydney from The Daybook, posted her holiday wish list that you can view here.

So I thought it would be fun to make a wish list of my own just for fun.

(Don't panic Hubby this doesn't mean you have to buy these)

Halloween Time

(I realize I'm about about a month late posting about Halloween and with Thanksgiving a couple of days away I decided I better get on it.)

We started off our Halloween festivities by going to Daddy's work to go trick or treating.

Our little cheetah girl was all smiles.

By the time we met half of Cade's co-workers Jadyn had cried off all her makeup. Ha! She is quite our sensitive girl. Lets just say Halloween is not her favorite Holiday. I don't blame her. Scary makeup and costumes would make me cry too.

That night we headed over Grandma and Grampa Booth's house for a family Halloween party which included the most amazing chili, soup, and corn bread. So fun to hang out with family and play with cousins.

Jadyn's 1st Birthday Party

We had so much fun celebrating Jadyn turning one!

We threw a party at the park with lots of friends and family.

Thanks to everyone who could make it!

Poor girl went through all sorts of emotions when it came time to smash her cake. She thought it was cool when everyone was standing around her waiting for the cake, then got a little weary when they started singing, and then finally lost it when her cake was brought out in front of her. Not exactly the way I thought it would go, but oh well she was still cute. Her crying may have had something to do with me trying to put her party hat on. I guess it was too much to take in for one little girl.

We sure do love our Jadyn girl!

She has made us happier than we ever thought possible!
