It's Beginning to look alot like...

Anna is getting in to the Christmas spirit. When I just had the bottom layer on the tree, she had already rolled under it and was touching branches. Here are a couple before the ornaments were on... Oh, and that is her John Deere outfit... some of you may can guess where she got that!

P.S. No, despite how it looks in the picture, I have not dyed her hair red! heehee

Happy 70th, Daddy!!

Today, my Daddy turned 70! He doesn't look a day over 50, does he??

Mom made a cute book on Shutterfly for his birthday and here is a good photo that was in it... me and Dad in the early days:

We had a little party for him this evening and had a good time. Here's a lovely picture of Julie and Anna at the party.

And Anna showed everyone her favorite thing to do right now... (it doesn't take much to entertain us!!)

It was a lovely evening!!

Giving Thanks!

Anna couldn't quite wait for her lunch til 2pm when we had Thanksgiving, so she ate her Sweet Potatoes and Corn baby food at 12. She was very thankful. Then Uncle Stephen entertained her for a bit. He practiced babysitting, but didn't want to practice a diaper change!

Then during actual Thanksgiving, she had some fruit :) She was thankful again.

Tonight, I am very thankful because my mom kept Anna while we went to the Mudbugs game with Ang, Stephen and Nicole... and she is keeping her all night!! This is her first night away from me and the first time I'll have to set an alarm in a LONG time!! Thank you JuJu!! See you in the morning :D

Lunch at Chick-fil-a

Today I met some of my high school friends for lunch at Chick-fil-a. It was great to see everyone! I was too busy eating and playing babies to get very many pictures, but here is one of me and Marley. :)

I've Been Framed!!

Anna got into the packing material for her daddy's playstation 3... and framed herself!

Bass Pro Santa Baby

Yesterday, we went to the Bass Pro Shop, where my father-in-law is Santa this season. I'm not putting up the ones with him, in case I use them on something I mail out... :) But here's a couple shots in the Sonic afterwards... I love this face :)
And then we couldn't miss this photo op as we left. :D

A Weekend in New Orleans

This weekend, Mark's co-worker was having a surprise 30th birthday in New Orleans, so we decided to go. Anna and I didn't make the dinner because it was at her bedtime, but Mark had fun and then Saturday, we walked around and saw lots of things. Here is a picture in the Old US Mint.And a picture in the carriage before we took a carriage ride around the French Quarter. Anna did wake up and stare at the lady giving us the tour almost the entire trip.And here she is posing with Willie Brown after the tour.This was in the courtyard of our hotel.On the way back, we made just a slight detour so we could have a rest and visit with some of my family in Louisiana. While we were there, I decided Anna needed to have her first haircut (just a little trim) from my Aunt Becky. Here we are after the haircut... Aunt Becky, Kellie, me, Anna, Shae and Aunt Rita.Anna did really good on the drive down and back, but I didn't bring her enough things to entertain her. But... as you can see, she found something beside her to play with. If you don't know what it is, I won't tell you... doesn't she look proud of herself for finding a new toy?
