A FUN few weeks!

It has been a fun few weeks for everyone!

Two weekends ago we picked out our CHRISTmas tree.  Jack was just a little excited!

 It was fun to watch Jack "decorate" the tree.

 The weather was beautiful CHRISTmas tree weekend so we hung our lights.  I had a cute little helper.

 This week our baby girl turned 1!

 Fernie is growing up WAY too fast.  If you say "Fernie do you want to read a book?"  She will bring you this...

 On her ACTUAL birthday we had a little family party.  She did not hesitate to stick her finger in the frosting!

 Of course Fernie had a helper to blow out her candle...

 ...and open her presents!

While Jack opened presents, Fernie did gymnastics.

Then on Friday "MI Nanny and Poppy" arrived!

"I'm so happy to see you again Nanny"

 We had Fernie's party this weekend!  I tried to make it as girly as I could!

 Fernie LOVED her cake!

 It was so funny she picked the fondant off her cake and just ate that. When I took her cake away to cut it she started crying.  I guess she loved having her cake and eating it too :)

 "Nana, you gotta try this!"

 And of course Fernie had help opening presents! 

Cute story story about Jack's present to Fernie:  I asked Jack what he wanted to get Fernie for her birthday.  He told me a tea set.  So one afternoon I told him we would go shopping and he needed to get money from his piggy bank to buy her gift.  Sure enough he got 5 coins and put them in his pocket. When we took the tea set up to the cashier I asked if the tea set was 5 coins and thankfully she played along and said yes.  Jack took ALL his coins out of his pocket and gave them to her.  He was so proud and so was Mommy!!!

 All that cake and presents can wear a boy out!

 Our weekend came to a close with Jack's CHRISTmas program!!!  He was so cute.  I can't believe he is old enough to be in a program. 

 

Fernie and Papa time, so sweet. 

 This may have been the fastest year of my life.  Where has the time gone with these little ones?!?!  I can't wait for all the birthday parties, CHRISTmas programs and fun times yet to come!!!
