15 Months

We went to the doctor last week for miss Annie's 15 month check up.
Dr Harmon said besides the ear issues we have been having... She looks great!


At 15 Months
Weight : 25.6lbs
Height: 32 inches


This sweet little girls is so busy and full of life. There is never a dull moment when miss Annie is around. She knows what she wants and knows how to get it. She has the sweetest little smile. When she does something that she thinks is really cute she says "cheese" like she is telling me... I'm so cute mom... Take my picture!!


She loves to talk and jabber about anything and everything. She has started singing and it really is just one of the sweetest things you have heard. The itsy bitsy spider is her favorite song right now and she love the hand motions.
She loves playing with her cousins. She thinks she is a big kid just like them. But when they don't treat her right she doesn't cut them any slack. She will give them a earful. She loves her cousin Rileigh to pieces. So sweet! 


Here are some things we don't want to forget about you at 15 months
- your sweet, soft, beautiful head of curls. Just about everybody comments on them. They are so soft and sweet and they make me smile!
- how you love to read. Your favorite is any book with animals in it. You love to make animal sounds. So far you can do a duck, cow, dog, snake and lion. 
- how you love to eat. If it gets past 530 and dinner isn't ready you start hanging on your high chair... telling me to give you some food! You love to feed yourself though and you eat great with a fork. Such a big girl!!
- your sweet smile. It lights up your whole face and it just melts my heart.
- how you love being held and snuggled . You throw your arms up and say "ho me" and how can I resist?!?
- how you love your big sis. In the morning if she is not up yet you starting calling out " eya-sis"
You want to do everything she does. You think you are just as big as she is. It makes me so happy to see the two of you together.

My sweet Annie girl.....  I love you so very much!!!

Live nativity

Last week we went to the live nativity at a Briarwood.
It was great!
The kids loved it and have talked about it all week.










Cookie Decorating Tradition

Last week we did our yearly tradition of cookie decorating.
I know the kids love doing it because the older ones have started asking about it.
We usually always do it at our house and I'm not going to lie...I always get a little nervous about what my house will look like when it's all said and done but it must never be too terrible because I keep offering up my house each and every year :)


Ellie really got into the decorating and spent a lot of time make them beautiful!

So pretty!

Annie got into eating...
It makes my tummy hurt thinking how much icing and M&ms and chocolate chips she consumed...

Fun times with cousins!








SG Christmas

We had a great time at our small group Christmas party.
We are so blessed to have such a great group of friends to walk with.
It so much fun to watch the kids grow up together...

I didn't get many pictures but here are the few I got...

ENT and Mcwane


We had a visit with the Ent about miss Annie getting tubes.
She did great and we are planning on getting them later this week.
Say a prayer for my sweet girl. 


Since we were downtown we went ahead and went to the Mcwane center.
The girls love it there and it's a great place for them to burn some energy!





Pancake Breakfast


Ellie had a great time at our breakfast with Santa.
She got to eat pancakes with chocolate chips, make lots of arts and crafts, eat more sweets and spend the morning with her aunt Em!! A perfect day in the life of Ellie!!!
