Fun Times in the Chair

Andrew really loves picking Alyssa up and holding her in the rocking chair.  Here are a few pictures of the big brother holding his baby sister :)





Puppet Shows and PIck up Attempts...

I took the kids to the Mayborn Museum to see a puppet show. While we were there, Alyssa was acting up a little all while Andrew was trying to show how "grown up" he was to the cute girl sitting next to him.  So he pretty much took Alyssa out of my hands... I think the girl next to him was impressed ;o)

Cousins over Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving 2011 in Jefferson was a great one and made even better because my mom, brother Joey and brother Kelly and his 2 boys came for Thanksgiving.  Here are the only pictures I took that weekend though as Andrew played with his cousin, David James, on Munner's beloved swing...



Booty in the Air

I had to snap a few pics of Alyssa sleeping...she always likes to have her booty in the air!



Just one of those Mommy things that I think is adorable :)

Alyssa's Birthday Party

We had to postpone Alyssa's original birthday party because she was sick.   We postponed it by one week and it ended up being a wonderful party.  It was very quaint but lovely (and I guess I'm biased because I did all the decorating!) :)  We had family and the families of some good friends come over. 

The theme was brown and pink and roses.  I had a lot of fun making it super girly :)
