Christmas Cookie Decorating

It has been a tradition of mine and Nate to bake sugar cookies and decorate them in elaborate ways. Cole has already started to LOVE the tradition as well. He asked all week when we were doing it. 

Here is Daddy and Maya before the big decorating event :)

 Clover and Maya are BEST FRIENDS!!!

 It was like a Christmas Factory!!

Happy 6 Months to Maya!!!

I cant believe my baby girl turned 6 months old on December 11th!!!

She is SOOO active and such a Happy Baby!  We are finally into a good routine and her day is pretty predictable.  (Which the planner in me enjoys)

We went to the Doctor on December 18th and she had a PERFECT appointment. 

She is 15 pounds, 8 oz (20th percentile), 25 and 3/4 inches long (48th percentile) and has a 16 and 1/4 inch head (20th percentile). She is a peanut and has been giving the clearance to eat anything she wishes :)

Christmas Activities

December sure is a full month!!  So Many fun things to do!!

On December1st we had a sleepover!!  Braden, Abby and Amy spent the night and we did Christmas activities and watched movies.  It sure was a fun time!!

ST Nick came to our house and Cole was SOOO  excited when he woke up and saw things in the stockings. 

 The Annual trip to the Zoo for Festival Lights was crowded and fun as always.  We go on MSJ alumni night with the college girls.  

 Best Santa Picture EVER!!!

On December 7th We went to the FREE Christmas Event at Nathaniel Greene Lodge.  Cole LOVES it!!

 Love my two babies :)

Shillito's Elves

On November 20th, Neetie, Paw Paw,me and the kiddos went to a tradition that I used to go to as a child, The Shillito's Elves. It was so fun to see them again!  Cole liked the Lego Train the best, but we sure had a great time!

 Cole took the below picture!  He is really getting good at it.

Cole was writting his letter to Santa.  He asked for a Matumbo Train
