Michael's Christmas Tree
I think it is so magical to fall asleep with Christmas lights in your room so I really wanted to get a Christmas tree for Michael's nursery. Mom and I ran around like crazy to find these little trees and ornaments for the kids rooms...and I think they turned out just perfect! Mom, thanks for making Michael's first Christmas season so special. You are the best Grandma in the world!! This was also Michael's first time on his rocking horse.

Michael's first snow fall

December 1st

Santa Claus is coming to town...We put Michael in his Christmas pajamas from MiMi and Pop to kick off December. Of course, Mommy had to take tons of pictures of our little man...I think Michael makes the cutest little Santa!!

Leaves, Leaves, Leaves

I have been wanting to get pictures of Michael in our leaves...been waiting for the leaves to fall and for a day that wasn't too cold. Finally, I got my pictures of Michael in this huge pile of leaves that Mike raked in our back yard. I think Michael looks so precious in these photos...beautiful baby!


Reminds me a lot of Daddy...I remember how much dad hated to rake leaves, but every fall when we were little he would rake the biggest pile of leaves you could imagine for Aimee, Ashlynne and I to jump in for hours...wonderful memory...wonderful dad!!

Happy 4 Month Birthday

Michael turned 4 months old on November 26! Grandma took him to his 4 month appointment while I was in the hospital getting my gallbladder taken out. I was very sad about missing his appointment, but everything went fine. He weighs 15 pounds and 1 ounce and is 26 inches long!!

Michael used his jumper for the first time on his birthday and he loved it. He kept smiling and laughing. He tried to do a little bit of jumping after we showed him how to bounce. Also, here is a picture of Michael on daddy's shoulders for the first time. It was so cute..he kept staring at the top of Mike's head!


Happy 4 Month Birthday, Michael! We love you and feel so blessed to have you in our lives. You fill our lives with so much happiness and joy!!

Our Christmas Tree

On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we went with the Mabin clan to pick out our Christmas tree. This has become a family tradition that we really enjoy. Of course, this year was extra special for us! It was very exciting picking out Michael's first Christmas tree. We can't wait to share this Christmas season with our little guy!!
