Christmas parties!!!

Mommy has gotten a little more adventurous and gone out for a few parties now. It's the Holiday Season and you have to get out there. Here are a few pictures of Isaac and mommy getting ready for her book club party. I had to get this little Tree sweater. Don't you love the hat? The other shots are from our Sunday school class party. Nick is sporting the famous party pants, and Vivi refused to go unless she could wear her princess wings and carry her wand. I thought she made a cute holiday princess, so did our friend Ms. Carrie who's tickling her in this sweet last pic.

Sweet piano playing

To fight off the winter blues we've had some fun visits from friends and family. I had to post this one picture and I wished I could have captured this moment better but this will give you a glimpse. Our sweet friends the Topliss came over and brought dinner and a visit. All three girls- Amelia, Vivi & Jillian hopped on our piano bench and played some tunes. It was so precious and Angie grabbed my camera for a quick shot. As you can tell they also dabbled in Pretty Pretty Princess game- or at least the jewelry. It was a sweet moment and really lifted my spirits. Thank you to all that have spoiled us with yummy food and visits.

First Smiles

Isaac is developing beautifully and already showing a new side of his personality. I had to post a few close ups of our handsome little boy showing off his grin. Watch out ladies he may steal your heart already!

Lights with Daddy

This past weekend we laid low due to little runny noses and lack of sleep, but we still were able to get outside a little and enjoy the nice weather. Vivi helped daddy hang the outside lights and then came inside and cleaned up the kitchen. Later that night we went to an outdoor nativity play at my parents church. Vivi enjoyed seeing all the animals up close and getting to hold Baby Jesus.

Happy Birthday Jesus

We attempted our first outing sans Daddy to go to a Happy Birthday Jesus Party at the Moffits. Friends from our church organized a little party with cake, a craft, and playtime. It was a sweet time and I'm glad we made it out. We also got to show off some new matching sweaters mommy purchased on-line. Check out a few pics. Thanks for organzing such a fun time Natalie and Toma!

Decorating the Trees

Yes that is decorating the tree's' plural. We have our family tree in the living room but we also had too much fun after Vivi arrived 2 1/2 years ago and got her her own tree. Fortunately, we got it in white so we could add color with ornaments and decorations. We decked that tree out in pink last year but this year we had to add some blue touches for Baby Isaac. Enjoy the slideshow of us decorating both trees. Hope you are having fun getting ready for Christmas too!

I Want Candy

Around our house these days candy has become a new bribery. We have had some left over from Halloween (which we barely even celebrated), Vivi's birthday, and now Christmas is upon us. I wanted to post a couple of shots of Vivi with candy time including playing candyland with daddy, enjoying a lollipop while decorating, and putting the candy canes on the tree. Another candy associated thing, Vivi has taken a new liking to dancing to the song- Lollipop. We had gotten this for her birthday last year, and now she is loving it!
