Gingerbread House Party!

Our friends Anna and Kara hosted a Gingerbread House kid's party today! There were about 10 kiddos there decorating houses.

Johanna mostly enjoyed eating the candy while mommy did 98% of the decorating.

It was a great time!

Santa Terror Take Two

Johanna and I took the bus down to Crown Center yesterday to meet Vince and to see Santa.

Johanna had fun playing at the playground while Mommy stood in line for Santa.

She had no idea what was coming.

She instantly freaked out the minute we took her near Santa. She was the only screaming kid while we were there - she threw back her body trying to escape. We were trying to tell her that Santa had some stickers for her but she wasn't having it.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

She was REALLY upset and the mechanical Santa right outside the door made her so upset she was almost hyperventilating. She wouldn't even look at it. Poor thing, maybe one day she will be ready to sit on Santa's lap.

Christmas Photo Shoot

Johanna and I went on a little photo shoot today around the neighborhood! I dressed her up in a Christmas dress from last year - still fits!

We walked down the Trolley Trail over to Crestwood to check out a cute little gingerbread playhouse they have to raffle off. Johanna had fun and so did I. I hope you enjoy these fun pictures.

Adventures of a Two Year Old!

Happy Birthday Johanna!

Well, I am a little late on congratulating my little sweetie pie on her big girl birthday - I just can't believe she is two years old. The past two years have been beyond wonderful - you know that motherhood is going to be awesome but you really have no idea how much joy it actually brings.

Everyday Johanna is learning new things and saying new words. She is already putting short sentences together and has a memory like an elephant. The thing I cherish most is that she is still a little snuggle bug and loves to give me hugs and kisses.

With a precious baby girl like Johanna, I can't wait to have more kiddos and hopefully soon! Keep  us in your prayers that we can add another bundle of joy to the family so Johanna can be a wonderful older sister.

With that said, thank you to all the family members who made it Johanna's party. It was really nice to get together and enjoy a laid back lunch and a beautiful day.



This lovely little girl brings so much joy into so many lives. I love you Little Bit!

Trick or Treating!

The Adventures of Cupcake Girl!

Johanna is practicing for Halloween in her new cupcake costume. She is my mini-cupcake. So sweet with a cherry on top!
