HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

I really do have the most AMAZING Dad!!!  I have never met anyone like him.  He is so kind and loving and there is NOTHING he would not do for his kids!  I am so LUCKY he is MY Dad!!!

Soooo....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!  I LOVE YOU! XOXO

This is one of my FAVORITE pictures.. and memories :)

The day after Thanksgiving was my Dads bday...I miss him like crazy and wish I coud have been there with him to celebrate!  He did however get a VERY cute gift from his little grandson! :)

Thanksgiving 2011

This year I have so much to be THANKFUL for!!!  Especially mommys little turkey!



Nick had a great FIRST thanksgiving!!  We went to Kris' dads house in the morning and he had such a blast with his cousins!!! 

He and Anthony (they are the ONLY boys!) are best buddies!

Then later in the afternoon we went to Kris' moms house and he got to see some more cousins!  He just LOVES Nicole (how could he not...they have the same name!)

She is getting married in Aug and my cute boy is going to be her ring bearer!  =)

And of course...his OUTFIT.. you know how I LOVE them!  haha

LOVE the turkey bum!

He had the cutest Thanksgiving sleeper too...however I got it months before and thought for sure he would be in 9 month clothing.. NOPE :(  So it did not fit and he did not get to wear it!  Its crazy...I feel like he has grown sooo much, yet he is still in 6 month clothing...AND some are still big on him!  Oh well, I love my little peanut all the same :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

XOXO

We had our family Christmas pics done and I was not impressed at how they turned out!!  (so diappointing!)  Neither of my boys were feeling all that well (but I look great in all of them haha!)...and we thought of taking new ones, but we just don't have any free time before we leave for CA!  But..never fear, our Christmas cards will still be super cute!

California.....part of me is excited to be going home because I miss my family terribly!!  Nick (my brother) will be home and my sister Mia is due anytime now =)  But a part of me hates going home!  For one, it is NEVER a vacation!  So much to do in such little time!  And I'm kinda bummed Nick will not be having his 1st Christmas be a white one ...oh well!  He can play in the snow when we return =)

On a happier note..

I just can't WAIT for Nick's 1st birthday!!!  Its hard to believe how fast that is approaching..but I am having the BEST time planning it!!!  No I am not one of those mothers who is going OVERBOARD with it....he's only turning ONE!  But with the theme I have chosen I just can't WAIT!!  (I'm just hoping my creativity will turn out as cute as the idea hahaha)  Everyone will find out soon enough what I'm doing =)

I just <3 my little blue-eyed boy!!

Busy..busy..busy!!

Well I WAS doing better at blogging....but I feel like we have been sooo busy lately that I just can't find the time! :/

This past weekend was a BLAST!  Nick went to his 1st Thanksgiving parade!  His cousins Anthony and Cece joined us and they always have soo much fun together!  Sometimes I forget Nick is so young because he LOVES to wrestle with Anthony (who is 5) and it is the CUTEST thing ever!  I should have gotten a video!

downtown at the parade!

Not the best pic of the 3 of them
(at the restuarant)

Then I had a much needed girls day out!!  We went and saw the 4th Twilight movie (Breaking Dawn part 1) and it was alright...I had kinda expected more and it just wasn't there!!  It was by no means a bad movie, but I feel like there is sooo much to cover still that the second part just won't do the book justice :(  So a little less than a year (by 2 days to be exact) from when part 1 came out until we can see part 2!!  It has been tradition every year to go with my girls and next year will not be any different!!  I have to say, I have such a good group of friends, family, husband and son that I am truly the luckiest girl!!! =)

Nick's FIRST Halloween....

was a BLAST!!!!  We went trick or treating with his cousins and LOVED every minute of it!!  He may not have come across any tricks...but he sure got alot of treats lol  Every house we stopped at said he was the cutest thing they have ever seen.....I must agree!  (I even got a few offers to buy his costume..lol...I declined of course...this costume was a HIT)

Here are a few pics :)



The Costume



Catch of the day in Plymouth :)

Nurse Mommy and her lobster <3

Kris with the kids....

This little lobster sure was tired!

Awake and into the candy lol

Checking out the goodies in his bat...
(this kid is OBSESSED with bats lol)

I have to say....it was weird to see some SNOW on the ground while trick or treating.....we still have yet to get any where we live (knock on wood!) but Kris' dad got a little bit.....there wasn't alot but it was still weird to see any at all lol

We hope all of you had a safe and wonderful Halloween.....we sure did!

Halloween Pics..

Nick must be pictured out because I came across soooo many great offers that I couldn't resist sticking my little lobster in a pot! :)  Here is Nick's Halloween collage!

I seriously have the CUTEST kid!!

Oh...and I have been sooo busy I didn't get half of these out :/

(so if you want one just let me know!)

Between all these pics, Nick will definitely be able to look back on his FIRST Halloween :)
