family time

So...you saw the winter wonderland that is my hometown right now, and you saw the new haircut I got while I was there, but you haven't seen our whole trip home yet! Monday was the 30th birthday of one of my hubby's brothers, so we went to visit him, his wife and our 2 adorable nieces! If you know anything about me, you know how much I love those little girls and that I, of course, brought my camera with me!

Athena, happy as always!

Aura, smiling at me!

So incredibly precious!

Sisters

Uncle M reading Athena a story...she loves books!

She has also discovered her belly button and had to keep checking
that it was still there.

Too many cute faces from Aura!

I told you they're adorable! We also saw my cousin and her daughter while we were home...and Natalie is just as cute!

Thanksgiving Recap

We drove to my parents' for Thanksgiving on Wednesday night when I got out of work. We spent some quality time with family and, of course, ate way too much on Thursday. On Friday, we did some Black Friday shopping and then headed back home because I had to work the weekend.

I didn't take many photos during our short trip, but I did take a few of my cousin's adorable little girl.

Isn't she precious?!

Gorgeous family shot, if I do say so myself!

Little miss giggles!
This girl has the cutest laugh in the entire world!

My hubby and I got our Christmas tree today! YAY! It smells fabulous and looks so pretty. Photos coming soon!

I ♥ Faces {Happy Birthday}

I know, I know, two posts in one day! But the kids theme over
at I ♥ Faces this week is "Happy Birthday" and I had the cutest photo, so I just had to share!

I took this photo of my cousin's daughter, Natalie, on her first birthday. Whenever I look at it, I can't help but smile and I really want to put a thought bubble above her head that says, "Why on earth would they set my cupcake on fire?!? And what the heck are these crazy people singing?!?" LOL

Slumber Party

We're back at my parents' house again. My sister gets MARRIED next Saturday, so we're here for a week to help with all the last minute details.

Last night my sister and I had a little slumber party with our cousin's daughter, Natalie, so she could have a night out with her husband. She is just the cutest thing ever and I had to share a photo I took of her when she was taking a tubby last night!

Posting will be sporadic this week, I'm sure! Monday I have to get our other car inspected (I'm hoping it's not a disaster like the other one was) get my hubby a new cell phone battery and go to the bank. Wednesday, I'm going with my sister for her last dress fitting. The groom and a bunch of family are flying in Thursday. Friday, we have manicures, pedicures, and massages in the morning, followed by the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at night. Then the festivities really begin!
