I am by no means a photographer and the color on this pic is not even good...but last weekend at the Country Club I took a few really great shots...this was one of them! I love it cause its so pure and sweet! A framer for sure!! What a blessing Caroline has been to our family! Children are a gift!!

This Christmas was very eventful and too adorable!! Caroline still didnt get what was going on but I know she liked opening gifts and playing with ornaments all month! This morning we got up....woke up very early and was very hungry as you can see from the picture below she was telling us we were a little slow with her usual eggs...screaming and yellign till they were on her plate!! But, after a full belly she was ready to party! My parents and J's parents came over around 11.....I cooked a nice brunch for everyone and then we sat around and watch Caroline open her gifts! Its gives me hope for how much joy is ahead of us! We got get one of those live Elmos...well I think we all got more into it than she did...that thing is amazing....her fave gift...well one I got for sort of a gag gift cause I knew we were going to need it this spring......r u ready for this!!! Her potty!! its pink and simple...she is taken by it!! As I journal in this blog her daddy just brought her down from her nap.....she is already sitting on it again saying, "shushu poopoo" which is what we say when we are changing a diaper! So.... we may be starting potty training earlier than I thought!!!! It has been a beautiful day! I am so thankful for a precious family and a Savior who came for me! Love to all this Christmas!!!!

One of the greatest things about living in a small town is all the great people you get to know pretty well!! Its fun when there isnt all that much to do to dream up things to do! I am apart of this dream team! God has blessed me with the most fantastic group of friend here in a Cleveland...a place I never imagine living my life in....which has now become a place I ADORE and would be devestated to leave!! Incredible huh.....when its God's will he gives you the desires of our hearts! My friend Louise and Kristen Murray Grisham host an annual Christmas playdate for our play group babies, moms and grandmothers! Its precious! Last year they were about 6 months old and just on their bellies!! Well.....lets just say this year was CRAZY!! they were everywhere!! Here are a few pics of Caroline at her party!!
