Cupcakes and Tutus

Here is my inspiration for Crissy's first birthday cake. I was getting frustrated because I had no idea what to do and her birthday was getting closer and closer! And then I came across this adorable cupcake stand and fell in love. I think it is so sweet. So we will be celebrating Crissy's first year with cupcakes and tutus!!

Zoom! Zoom!

Here you go Mom! You wanted to see the car and here it is! They love it!

Our Christmas

I think I will always remember this Christmas. It was Crissy's very first and she took a step on Christmas Eve. I will always remember how Grace called Santa, "Ho Ho." I will remember when I looked out the window and saw snowflakes falling on Christmas Eve. I will remember the girls in their new nightgowns and robes singing Christmas Carols around the piano and then marching up the stairs excited for Santa to come. I will definitely remember Jason bringing his grandmother back in the house and carefully placing her on the stairs after she missed one of the steps on our walkway. Jason and his brother carried her out to the van and off to the ER they went. Poor Grandma! Broken feet on Christmas Eve!
I have to say the best memory of our Christmas was Santa barreling in the front door and waking us all up for Christmas morning! He went upstairs and woke the girls up with his jingle bells ringing! He even picked up Crissy out of her crib and carried sleepy Julia down the stairs! He was such a kind Santa and we are so thankful for him and the great memory he gave our family.
