Evan walking

Here is a video of Evan taking some steps. It seems he always does better when he knows the camera is not on him. But this one was still pretty good. 

And just a few recent pics: 

 Mohawk

I think this one is cute because Evan will not take a binky but he found this one and thought it was so funny that he was using it. He would laugh and take it out then put it back in and look at me like "See I'm so funny"

Christmas 2011

 Christmas Day we spent with Jake's family, but for some reason I didn't have my camera... :( So don't have any pictures of that. Jake was so sneaky with my present. He wrapped it in many layers, the outside layer being a office chair box, when I opened it I honestly thought "I don't need a new office chair." but Jake was like "Open it up" so then I was like... whew! I don't have to pretend to be happy with a new chair! It ended up being a KINDLE FIRE!!! :D yay! And I was not pretending to be happy about that. Bean and Josh came down so we did our Christmas with them on the 27th. I did have my camera then so, Let the pictures commence!

 These are some salt dough ornaments baby and I made for the grandparents.

 Baby loves Lily :)

 Farm book

 He is wearing his "ugly" Christmas Sweater, Jake almost didn't let me put him in it! haha

 Cute church outfit from Grammy and Papa.

 

This was really the only pic of Jake and its blurry. :( 

 KitchenAid Stand Mixer :D

 Apparently I just live in the kitchen... or am going to now.

 All Evan's toys he got

Then our annual "Adult Christmas Dinner". We went to Carver's. Yummy steaks! 

 

Overall, it was a great Christmas and I love my families on both sides!! Until next time...

Christmas Decor

This has been the first year I've got to decorate this house for Christmas since last year we had just barely moved in I was suprised I even got the tree up. So this is probably going to be a lame post to most of you but these are just a few of my decorations I put up. I didn't really have any money for decorations, so these cute trees are the only new thing I bought and made. 

Then I just had some fun with cutting out some paper snowflakes. 

This is a wreath I made probably 6 years ago with my bestie, Crystal.  Some of the ornaments broke during the several moves its gone through, so I had to exchange a few out but looks good as new I think!

Here's my mantle. Evan didn't have a stocking this year... my bad. I don't think he noticed though. ;)

.And of course the Christmas Tree!! 

Oh... and my adorable helper ;) 

Next year's project is the lanterns that I bought that I still haven't used! :( And hopefully we'll get some outside lights too. Coming up next... Christmas festivities!
