that's right, you can be a chef and wear your tiara all at the same time, in case you didn't know already.

Wordless Wednesday(not so wordless)

I've been working on some memory books for our family this week. And this picture brought back many sweet memories and moments that I had to share. It just simply makes me smile. Time really does go in a flash.......

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

Folks I think she got it!!

An Elf party

The girls decided to throw a Christmas party

an Elf theme was the decor in the home and for the food for the nightWe had a blast, with lots of laughter and joy

Mae was the youngest member of the evening :)

and there no words for these boys! Ha!!

New Years Eve

This year we decided to stay in and take it easy. A first in a very long time. Even when Mae was 3 weeks old we headed out to a party to ring in the new year with family and friends.

And we really do love a good party and hanging out but this year was a time for us to take it easy. Unwind from the busy busy week. (as you can see from the parents eyes we are tired and ready to ring in the new year on "parent time") So as we said good bye to 2011, we eagerly await this new fresh year

We are so excited to see all the Lord has in-store for our little family and what He will bring this upcoming year. After several bumps along the way the past two years. I personally look forward with hope and anticipation to this next year.

and next year we will be back to our party selves. But this quite evening was blessed to say the least :)

Happy New Year! And Yay for 2012
