travel mates

We went to the airport to welcome friends home from China. While standing there, a family came out and I am thinking, I know them. It turns out we did know them, it was a family that traveled to China with us. Miss Diva wasn't so sure but C was so excited to see her. They kept hugging each other and wouldn't let go. So adorable!

Outside decorations

Christmas as always been a favorite holiday for me. The reason for the season, family get togethers, time off work ,receiving christmas cards have all been things I enjoy about the season, but I truly enjoy decorating our home and creating memories with our daughter.

 My outside planter that I made and I love it. It sits nicely in front of the new fence that goes across the top of the drive way. love it!

I am wanting to fill some water balloons to put on the table with these snowmen but it's not cold enough to do that, they will just melt.

 She loves playing in the bathtub. We were doing simple math here. So, if I take one ouf your ducks away, how many do you have left? She is counting how many she has left here.

mommy moments

I love the moments were we snuggle on the couch or in our bed and read. She loves to read and I am thrilled. I am a reader and I enjoy these mommy moments with her.
