Nothing Like The Last Minute!!!

I was thinking I'd save EG's planned Christmas dress for next year. Then.....four days before Christmas I changed my mind, which made for several late nights!!! The dress part is from the dress I wore in my sister's wedding. I was a little over 7 months pregnant with EG, so you can imagine the dress had lots of fabric. Mrs. Neel from The Smocking Bird gave me the idea to smock a collar and attach it. I love how it turned out:)

Cute Pics

While I was busy taking pictures on my baby, Emmie Grace had the same idea for her babies:)

A little Christmas Baking:)

Emmie Grace loved making sugar cookies and doing the sugar and sprinkles all by herself.

The Polar Express

One fun thing we did this Christmas season was ride the Polar Express. We all really enjoyed this and are planning on adding it to our Christmas traditions. Emmie Grace wore her Christmas pajamas, had cookies and milk, received the "1st Gift of Christmas", could have had her picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Clause (no go on that one) and sang tons of Christmas carols. Can't wait to go back next year!!!!

My baby is growing up!!!

I think we have a "dog person" on our hands:)

We went to Rabun Gap to visit Dave's Aunt Cary and Uncle Woody. We had such a wonderful time and loved getting to spend time with them. Emmie Grace really enjoyed spending time with their St. Bernard, Sydney.

Thanksgiving and 1st flight with Daddy

We had another wonderful year at the farm where my Grandmother grew up. We love getting to see this side of my family and look forward to this tradition each year. This trip was especially exciting!!! Emmie Grace had her first flight with her Daddy. I'd like to say that I was calm the entire trip, but it was no surprise.....that didn't happen. To say I went into complete freak out mode is an under statement (Emily...it was an "it's not worth it" moment for sure). To the dismay of my sister we landed the plane about 30 (driving) minutes from our destination. Oh well, in hind sight it was fun and Emmie Grace did GREAT (most of the time)....maybe I can say the same for myself next time.

Somethings Never Change

Growing up we always loved eating at the Irondale Cafe and seeing the trains. Now it's fun taking Emmie Grace:) If you have any train lovers in your house I would highly recommend it....for the trains and the yummy food.

Cinderella

Emmie Grace went to her 1st princess party!!! Her sweet friend turned 4 and I must say this was such a FUN party. All the little girls looked so pretty in their dresses and they were all so attentive and sweet. Cinderella did a GREAT job and I can't wait to have her do a party for EG:)

Happy Halloween

Emmie Grace had a GREAT time this weekend....trick or treating with daddy at work and then in Homewood Sunday night. We also enjoyed the AU game Saturday night and a sweet friends baby shower. Emmie Grace doesn't understand why she can't keep going to the same baby shower, she loves talking about it. We are not sure what she was for Halloween. I thought she looked like a pink dinosaur and Dave decided on a pink monster. All I know, is that she was adorable. After all the fun Sunday night we took her over to Mimi and Granddaddy's to get good and clean.

This girl loves to "read"

We love getting FREE books in the mail from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library.

What A Game!!!!!

WAR EAGLE!!! You couldn't ask for a more exciting game:)

Loving Dress Up:)

Emmie Grace wanted to wear this all day:)

Eg's Third Race For A Cure:)

Today we raced for a cure!!!! I'm not 100% sure.....but it may be the largest race in Birmingham with over 14,000 participants. We loved supporting such a wonderful cause:)
