O CHRISTMAS TREE

On Sat Nov 30th we headed out to get our tree! sadly the place we've went the past few years was closed so I had to do some research on my phone to find another farm nearby in south salem to find tall tree’s without paying a fortune! well we found Ballyntyne tree farm! it was great! they had an awesome selection of tall tree’s and they were all $20 but they also had a groupon out for $10 making it even better!! it was a little chilly out but nice and clear!

poor ry and brandon had to carry that heavy tree a ways this year : /

while ry and brandon loaded the tree up, we went over to get cocoa and candy canes!

TURKEY DAY!

I was really bad about taking pics this year on thanksgiving ugh I hate when I do that!! here are a few that I did get!

while we dined on turkey, ham and all the yummy fixins, brody ate a hot dog! sigh….

later that early evening we went back to our tradition of seeing a movie on thanksgiving we were SO excited to see Frozen!!!! and the movie did not disappoint! (except daddy and ryley weren't having it lol)

such a blessed Thanksgiving!

MAKAELA’S 15TH BIRTHDAY!

On Nov 21st my niece turned 15! her dad let her have a party at the courthouse on sat the 23rd and she had asked me if I would come and take some pics for her! so that evening brody and I and bailey (peyton got invited to her best friends for her bday sleepover) went to the party for about an hour or so and then afterwards we went to the movies to see cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2!

my handsome little man!

the birthday girl!

brody loved watching the people swim in the pool!

we had fun! I took a ton of pics!!! these are just a couple of the cute ones with her family.

BRODY’S THREE!!!

Can you believe it??!!! because I really cant! to me he still seems like my baby so much!! but at the same time he is learning so many new things and becoming a big boy right before my eyes! On the morning of Nov 11th (veteran’s day also) I made sure we had Brody’s favorite for breakfast. DONUTS!!! and of course he wanted pink!!!

after breakfast we ran up to the party store to pick up a few balloons and decorations and came back home to take baths and decorate

then after lunch we headed up to the park to play

when we got home from the park daddy was already home.. so it was time to let him open his first gift from us!…

I think he was a little in shock at first but he’s had a blast with it! we bring it inside and he rides all around the house! I’m sure next summer he will be a pro on it!

then around 5:00 that evening grandma and grandpa came over and grandma donna, I made some zuppa toscana soup (olive garden) and garlic bread for dinner and after dinner we let brody open his presents!

he was pretty excited for the golf set!

he had to have it set up and show us his skills!

then we sang happy birthday to this sweet face!

still cant believe this little man has been with us 3 years already!! slow down time I need my baby to stay little for as long as possible! Happy 3rd Birthday Brody Jay!!!
