...Santa...

We took Bailey to see Santa today! We went in the middle of a snow storm so we lucked out and didn't have to wait in line. The picture they took is a lot cuter but here you go!

Dad Blakes Birthday!!!

It's been a while since I posted because the battery in our camera died in the middle of Ed's birthday dinner, and seriously I have been so busy I just now recharged the battery! I did manage to get a couple of pictures of Bailey with her Gramps! We were so happy that we were able to celebrate Ed's birthday with him. He is seriously the best Dad, Grandpa and Father-in-law you could ask for! He is definitely a man you can look up to. He really loves Bailey... he is always asking when he and Linda can babysit her next. From the minute Chris and I started dating he has always made me feel like a part of the family! I am so happy Bailey will have such a wonderful man in her life! We love you and hope you had a fabulous birthday!! ~Chris, Jen and Bailey. Here are some pictures from the birthday dinner and some of Bailey and her Grandpa Blake throughout the year!

Sledding

We had such a fun weekend! On Friday Nick and Tracy's daughter, Brooklyn turned one so we headed over there for the party! Bailey was in seventh heaven. She thought all the toys were hers and she was pushing her way over all the other kids to get to all the fun new toys. It was a crack-up to watch. Brooklyn was so cute! I can't believe she is already a year old. Her and Bailey are going to have a blast growing up together.

Here is Bailey right in the middle of everything while Brooklyn was opening her presents!
Brooklyn dove right into her cake, what a cutie!Here is the little birthday princess...I love this picture! She just looks so old in it. She doesn't even look like a baby anymore.


On Sunday we went over to IHOP to visit Adam at work and Erin ended up being there at the same time. We all had breakfast together and decided it would be fun to go sledding. So we headed over to this school by our house and took our boogie board and an old sled we found a couple years ago. We decided we need to go buy a tube because ours didn't go very fast or straight. We had such a fun time! Even Bailey seemed to enjoy it.
I have to admit she is the cutest ever!
Me and Erin
They are so cute!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We had such a fun time for Bailey's first Thanksgiving! She was so much fun and such a mess. We put some mashed potato's and sweet potato's on her high chair table and she had so much fun playing with her food. After dinner we played a lot of guitar hero, well Chris and Lisa did. We tried to make it to a movie but Bailey was not having that so we left after about 10 minutes! We hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!

Here is our table with all the yummy food...Our family

The night before Thanksgiving we went over to Dave, Tiffany and Lisa's house and had such a fun time Bailey got to hang out with her girlfriend Madi... they are only 3 weeks apart and as cute as ever!!!

She's a little crawler!

Bailey is full on crawling all over the place! I can't believe she is such a big girl now. She just thinks she is the coolest thing ever too! She has been crawling a little bit for a couple weeks now but as of Sunday that is all she wants to do. We were at Nick and Tracy's house on Sunday watching football and Brooklyn and Ayla crawl like crazy, so I think it got Bailey to really want to do it! So here is a video of our little mobile girl. Sorry for the loud music in the background Chris was watching a movie!

Ed's 50th surprise birthday party!!

Chris' Dad, Ed turns the big 5-0 next month so Linda threw a surprise party for him on Saturday. It was a 20's Speak Easy party so everyone dressed up in their 20's attire. It was so much fun to see all the flappers and gangsters at the party! We had so much fun!
