Winter Wonderland

Today is a snow day! One more day of enjoying my family before I have to go back to work! Presley is taking a nap, and the dogs are snoring in my ears. I thought I would use this opportunity to catch up on blogging about our Christmas break, but here are some pics from today!

The Yeti. I mean Nick.

Presley and I.

Presley insisted on bringing her purse. We told her we were going to play in the snow, and she said, “I need my purse!” We had to find it. That was a first. It had one earring, a Dora cell phone, and a Dora heart she can wear on her shirt.  Maybe she thought we could call Dora to help if we couldn’t make it home.

Our 5th Anniversary!

On this day 5 years ago, Nick and I got married! He is truly my best friend, and I can't imagine my life without him. Presley is such a lucky girl to have such a great dad! I love you Nick!

Pack. Unpack. Repeat…

Our Christmas break has been busy! As the post title implies, we have been traveling, and enjoying spending time with our family. We left on the 23rd for North Carolina, and we were reminded repeatedly that when flying, expect the unexpected.  On our first flight (to Cincinnati) something on the plane required maintenance. The  guy that was working at the gate was explaining the problem and said that it would be a quick fix. I commented to Nick that we got to go on the test flight, and Presley heard me. She then repeated, “Test flight, test flight, test flight!” over and over. Ha!  I love going to my grandparents’ house, and it is so special to be able to take Presley to visit her great-grandparents. They adore her!

Presley discovered one of my favorite things about airports… Starbucks.

Family Pictures

Taking family pictures is not easy, but we try.

 I know we will look back someday and love the "bad" ones more than the "good" ones!

Merry Christmas!

Party for Two

Presley’s cousins, Addison and Peyton, had a double birthday party on Saturday, and it was double the fun. Twice the cake and twice the presents- you can’t get much better than that!  They also got a joint birthday present- Max- the Maltese.  He is so cute. Even Nick had to hold him. We had to leave the party because Presley can’t understand the concept of giving. She likes to receive. Especially if it has to do with a Kai-Lan tree house. See pic below of Presley trying to get us to open Addison’s present.
