Christmas Trip Part One

Things we did on our Christmas Vacation:

* We met our new nephew/cousin Oliver

 My little Punky Brewster and cousin Oliver enjoying Mazie's arm.

 * We visited with Grandma Bentley. She was so happy to have both grand babies by her side.

 * Mazie met her Grandpa Bentley for the 1st time or I should say "PA". That's what he wants to be called.

 * Mazie met her cousin Evan for the 1st time. Evan just loved her to pieces. He loved sharing the pack n play with her. He would cover her and then un-cover her with his blanket. She was laughing the whole time.

Evan is little Rudolph

Mazie enjoyed her bouncy from Grandma and Grandpa Hawley.

Stay Tuned. Part Two is coming soon!

Love,

Kristin

Merry Christmas!

The Things I Will Miss

I go back to work on December 1st.

After 3 1/2 months of maternity leave, it is finally time to go back to work.

I am excited and sad.

I will miss spending full days with my daughter.

I will miss watching lifetime during the day.

I will miss going to the gym whenever I want.
I will miss watching movies whenever I want.

I will miss taking naps in the afternoon.

I will miss watching the sun rise over the mountains around 10 a.m.

I will miss seeing my husband in the mornings when he gets off shift.

I will miss these things. They are not going anywhere, I will just have to rearrange my schedule.

I also re-opened my Etsy Shop!

I've added new note cards.

New necklaces, bracelets, pocket mirrors, rings and magnets are coming soon.

I am also working on 2 new items to add to my shop. More info to come on those once I finish.

I am very excited.

Also, if any of you are interested in personalized necklaces, bracelets or pocket mirrors with photo's of your kiddos or family, let me know. Now is a good time since Christmas is just around the corner.

Seriously, Christmas has made it's appearance quickly. I have already put up all of our Christmas decorations, even the tree. I really wanted to do this before I go back to work. I also want to get all of my Christmas shopping done by December 1st so I don't have to rush it. I want to spend my weekends with my husband and daughter and enjoy our 1st Christmas together!

 But let's not forget about Thanksgiving!

We will be having a dinner at our house and our good friends will be coming down.

We are so excited!

Love,

Kristin

The Smell is in the Air

The holidays are just around the corner.

Jeremy and I made 2 pumpkin pie's today and the smell just overtook our kitchen.

It smells delicious!

Now I want to make some pumpkin bread.

Maybe tomorrow or this weekend.

Love,

Kristin

Thanksgiving 2010

Here are a few photo's of Jeremy and I on Thanksgiving.

It was a cold but beautiful day...

 Jeremy made a yummy turkey with garlic cloves and green onions....

 The pretty champagne glasses my mom gave Jeremy and I for our engagement. They are sooo nice, I am afraid to use them. I tend to break things very easily.

After dinner, we were soooo stuffed, we took a nice nap and then got ready to go out to our friend Mark and Sabra's Pie party. Jeremy made a delicious Apple Peach Caramel Pie. It tasted so refreshing, not to sweet. We had a nice and quiet Thanksgiving. Now it's time to decorate for Christmas :)

Love,

Kristin
