Here comes Santa Clause...

Riley didn't know what to think of Santa's beard at first, he kept trying to squirm out of his lap. It didn't take long though before he warmed up and was his smiley self again.

Happy 29th Birthday Cameron!!

Today is my brother's 29th Birthday, to celebrate his wife threw him an ugly sweater party on Saturday. Soo much fun, and everyone had great sweaters!! Walmart made a little bit of money off the party since half of us had the same sweater!

Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's House

Grandma and Grandpa invited us over for dinner so they could play with Riley tonight. He had beef for the first time (mashed up pot roast), potatoes and fresh broccoli, he is getting to be such a big boy!

Safety First!!
Christmas came early... Grandma loves to spoil him!

Riley also got to spend both Friday and Saturday night with Grandma and Grandpa Brown. They came into town this weekend just so they could babysit!! Riley has the greatest Grandparents!!

It's just hair...

I can dye it back. I colored my hair dark for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought I would finally post a picture of me since I'm usually behind the camera. I definitely like it better blonde but it has been a fun change.

Happy 50th Uncle Dan!!

We celebrated my Uncle Dan's 50th birthday last Saturday...it was a super fun evening with a couple of really good videos of the past 50 years, yummy Cosmos, and lots of munchies.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am thankful for so many things...a loving husband who makes me laugh, a happy, healthy, beautiful baby boy who always makes me smile and keeps life interesting, our new home, two loyal loving dogs who are also loving their new home and their gigantic backyard. Also thankful for the wonderful dinner we had on Thanksgiving with my family, and that Riley got to spend a little time with his great grandma and grandpa. I am also thankful that we were still able to keep the family tradition of going to see a movie after dinner (this would not have been possible if we didn't have such a good baby). He slept through most of his first movie at the theatre and only woke up for the last 10 minutes or so...

Hope each of you had an equally happy holiday!
