A New Chair for Miles

How fabulous is this chair!!!! We were lucky enough to find it at Ross the other day and I have been wanting to get Miles a chair for a while, but they tend to be so expensive. Lucky for us, this was right in our price range.

Miles loves it and is a little possessive as you can see in the next few shots.....

...quickly, almost immediately removing his Lion from the chair....

....carelessly tossing his lion to the side....

....reclaiming what is rightfully his. :)

Addi's Cake

 
I haven't been working at the bakery at all since wedding season has been over, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when my friend Kathy asked me to make a cake for her daughter's 4th birthday. Kathy did a fancy tea party (as Addi requested) for all of the girls and so we came up with this for her cake. I am so grateful that she asked me since it was so much fun for me to do. I hope it was a success!

Are you jealous?

 
Yep, we made these babies at home. I can't even believe I finished mine, and I did finish before James in case anyone was wondering.

Family Photos

I am once again grateful for my talented friend Danica who took some great family photos of us a few weeks ago. It was so easy to smile at someone that is your friend and is really making you laugh :)

Miles loves Danica and she can always get a good grin out of him.

Miles and Dad.

Miles and Mom.

The whole fam.....we did the photo shoot at the park that we always go to. The trees were so beautiful, and we got a lovely warm day just out of the blue, perfect. Thank you so much Danica for helping us capture these memories.

A Texas Thanksgiving.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday we headed out to Texas to visit James' family. We didn't tell anyone but Christi that we were coming and James surprised the rest of his family on Sunday morning. It was so fun to give them such a happy surprise.

Here Miles is with Grandpa and Grandma Dayley. He had a lot of fun with them while we were there. I wish we had taken more pictures of everyone else in the family. Miles had so much fun with his cousins. Especially Natalie who was such a great help while we were there. He loves his Aunt Christi and the fact that she let him jump on her bed whenever he wanted (and fed him marshmallows) :)

OK, so we finally got to see some baby pictures of James during this trip, and its been confirmed that he looks a lot like James.......BUT he also must look like me because there were some definite differences......so Hooray! I am in there somewhere.

Miles had a fantastic time staying at Christi's house. She has two dogs and two cats. Nicole has a dog that she would bring over and Grandma has a dog that she would bring over, so you can only imagine how excited Miles was the whole time with all the animals running around.

By the end you can see that he got a little too comfortable with the animals.....poor Percy. He got his tail pulled more times than I would like to admit. And yes, what you see there is a hot pink Christmas tree. We got to help decorate Christi's tree the day after Thanksgiving. It has been almost 7 years since I helped decorate for Christmas (I am usually traveling home and it is done before I get there) so it was really fun to get to do that with them. Not your traditional tree, but it is pretty fabulous.
