Holiday Fun!

This year I decided to throw a small holiday dinner party and we had so much fun!!! Everyone had to cook two things (either main course, a side or a dessert) and bring to the party. They also had to send me a copy of the recipes before the party. We then set everything out and you could sample from several different recipes! Then when everyone left, I gave them copies of all the recipes that they had tried that night.

We had a ton of fun, laughed a lot and ate a lot of really great food! A special thanks to my grandmother for giving me beautiful Christmas dishes that we could use! We will definitely be doing this again!

Christmas Love!

We decided to take some pictures of Anara with the Christmas tree. There are a bunch of pictures but I couldn't decide which ones were my favorite! The older she gets, the harder it gets to keep her still and focused for picture time. :)

Family Love!

The family that I love! I am blessed beyond belief and this picture sums it up. This was just a lazy Saturday morning spending time with the family. Anara still looks sleepy in this picture!


It takes awhile for Anara to wake up in the morning but once she does she is all smiles!


Anara is riding on a tricycle that was mine when I was her age. My parents tell me that I put miles and miles on that thing. Anara has started liking it as well! Unfortunately I have tripped over it many times because it seems to find itself in random places.


You will have to excuse the mess of the playroom! Once upon a time I would try and clean it up all the time but she would have it messed up by the time I finished cleaning it so I finally gave up.

Such a cutie!
