Merry Christmas!

Mom and Dad were able to come out this year for Elizabeth's first Christmas.  I took 700+ pictures in the 5 days they were here...yes, 700.  So it was really hard for me to narrow it down but I tried my best!

We had the BEST Christmas!  Happy, Happy, Happy!

Oh Christmas Tree...

We made our annual trek in search of the perfect tree.  This year we had Elizabeth in tow and it was a brisk 12 degrees so we had to make it fast.

And we found her...

Getting Creative

I am thankful every single day that I get to stay home with my little girl.  BUT, I have to admit some days we both get B.O.R.E.D. bored.  I mean honestly, how many times can a person rotate between a bouncy seat and playing on the floor??

So we've get getting a little creative/crazy (you can be the judge). 

Riding the "baby train" around the house.

Water, oil, and beans in a ziploc bag (I know, I know, but it did successfully keep her entertained for a small period of time)

See!

And why not just bounce outside?

I'm open to suggestions....
