Christmas Cookies

On Saturday I baked Christmas cookies with my Mom and sisters.

It's hard to believe that a year ago I surprised

them with the news that I was pregnant! We might have played with Parker more than we baked!

Aunt Heidi was having so much fun making him laugh

that she forgot to put eggs in her cookie batter! We spent about 7 hours in the kitchen, but

we all had lots of yummy cookies to take home!

Christmas Party

Every year our marrieds group has a Christmas Party.

This year each couple made a gingerbread house.

We decided to make a gingerbread RV instead! We also take pictures in front of our Christmas tree.Here's our group. We're so thankful for each and every one of them! We always have to take a crazy picture too!

My Blessings

Here are my blessings!

They are snoozing after a long night with very little sleep!

Now Parker is awake, happy, and ready to venture out into the cold!

Just so you know...I have the best husband and son in the world!

Our Precious Boy

I know I take so many pictures of Parker, but I can't help it!

He's so precious! I will never regret taking too many pictures of him!

We love his smiles!

I think he's getting used to posing for the camera!

He lights up when he sees us!

So serious!

He has the cutest laugh!

He giggles so much! He's such a happy boy!
