Thanksgiving

We weren't able to go home to visit family this year for Thanksgiving, so it was just our little family. We missed our family so much, but it was fun to have just the three of us. For Thanksgiving Eve we watched Christmas Vacation and drank some sparkling apple cider. It was so nice to relax and cuddle on the couch. The next day we made our Thanksgiving lunch. Abigail loved all the food, except the turkey. After dinner we drove into the mountains to pick out our first Christmas tree. We had trouble finding a very full one, but we finally found one we both liked. It was really a lot of fun spending some quality time and having fun. There was about 2 feet of snow on the ground so trekking through it to find a Christmas tree was a fun adventure.

She hated the tree. She was not thrilled about sharing a seat with it. 

We have so much to be thankful for. If you take a minute to look around this life is pretty amazing! I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. XOXO

Our Weekend Recap

Our weekend is actually on Wednesday night and then Thursday because that is my husbands day off and he works the weekend. It drives me crazy that we don't have him on Saturday, but we always try to do something fun on his day off. This week we got some salted caramel hot chocolates from Starbucks and went to Barnes and Noble to read Abigail some books and then we did a little shopping. This was the perfect thing for us to do with her because she loves books. If you were to sit her down in front of any toy and then put books over to the side she would go pick up the books over anything. I love her passion for them because I love reading too.

And we finally got her to sleep all night in her crib! 

 And here she is being silly! 

I hope your weekend was as fun as ours! Until next time....

Abigial's Shabby Chic 1st Birthday Party

 I remember the day we took her home from the hospital. I was so scared. She seemed so fragile and was so dependent on us. It feels like that was just yesterday and now I have this beautiful little toddler who has learned so much. I never knew I could love another person as much as I love my husband, but my heart grew when I had her and now I love them both so incredibly much.

A year later...

Abigail's birthday was on November 2nd, which fell on a Saturday and was perfect for a party. I kept it small and it was a lot of fun. We were so excited that my parents got to come to town to celebrate with us. Abigail was not a fan of the cake, in fact she wouldn't even eat it at all. Instead she snacked on her green peppers haha. She got so many great gifts and she loves every single one of them. Thank you to everyone who came, who sent presents or cards, or wished her a happy birthday. She is so loved! 

What Abigail Got:

 She also got some clothes, books, and a snack container. Again thank you to everyone who helped make her day special :) 

Abigail's One Year Photos

I never got newborn pictures when Abigail was born and I have regretted it ever since. Especially because they grow so fast and I hardly even remember her being that tiny. So, I knew I wanted to get really good one year pictures. I was on Facebook one day and found an AMAZING photographer in my area and I knew she was the one that I had to have do them. She provides all the outfits and bows and it was so much fun being stress free and taking Abbey in and dress her in all the cute outfits. She was in such a good mood and the photographer did an amazing job at getting her to show her personality. I LOVE every single photo that she took.  Here they are:

To die for right?

A huge thanks to Loni Smith Photography for the amazing photos and for being so fun at the photo shoot. It was so relaxing and stress free. Anyone in Idaho looking for a photographer she is your girl...no one else compares!
