Big girl!

Who needs to cook when you can use it to get on your knees!! Iris is pulling herself up on everything now!!!

This girl is on the move!!!

My first thanksgiving meal!

I had to work thanksgiving so I decided to make our first thanksgiving meal today!!! We bought a turkey breast bc a whole turkey is just too much food for 2 people =). I made green bean casserole, stuffing, rolls and sweet potato casserole! It was all very yummy!!! Iris had her favorite butternut squash and I gave her some tastes of my sweet potato casserole! She loved it!!!

It all turned out so well and oh so yummy!!! I'm pretty proud of myself!

It's Christmas Time!!!

Doug and I decorated the house today and it was so much fun!  We had Christmas music playing the past few days and today we decided to pull out all the totes out of the attic!  Iris went down for a nap so we decorated the tree!  Once she woke up, we had all the lights off and only the tree on.  She was mesmerized by the lights and seemed to really enjoy it =)

Lynx seemed to like it all as well!

We technically haven't given it to her yet =)

Iris on her new toy box!

Doug's dad made Iris a toy box for her birth.  He makes something special for every child and when she was growing in my belly, I thought a toy box would be something perfect for her.  So, I sent Doug's dad my idea of what I wanted it to look like and here is the final product!!!  I wanted it to be big enough for her to sit on it as well!!!

I think it's perfect =)

She loves it!!!
