What We've Been Up To...

October, November and December proved to be just as busy for us as they have always been. After wrapping up a successful Adoption Seminar & Expo at the end of September, I took a much need break to enjoy my favorite time of year.

October was filled with visits to the local pumpkin farms, a visit from my sister and new neice, a vacation in the mountains, Mike's birthday and of course Halloween.

November was busy with Emily's birthday Tea Party, our anniversary, my birthday, a visit from my parents, pictures with Santa, Thanksgiving, decorating the house and a fun neighborhood event with Santa, hot chocolate, cookies and hayrides.

December I did lots of baking and cooking, shopping, Christmas parties, getting together with long lost friends, my parents coming for a visit, Jesus' birthday, Emily's actual birthday, New Year's and house cleaning.

I just LOVE the holiday's. Did I mention I had two weeks off???
