Christmas is HERE!

We have been busy with lots of fun Christmas events - got our Christmas tree, went on a night out with some friends (no kiddies!) and celebrated Christmas early with Katie's Dad, Terri and cousins. We have so been enjoying watching Molly take everything in. She loves dancing to the Christmas music and has learned to crawl so the tree is fun to play with too! Our Tree!

Christmas with Katie's Dad & Terri - lots of fun presents!She liked the wrapping paper better than the toys :)Rolling around with her new dog in the wrapping paper!Ya-Ya(formerly Gammie) made Molly a Christmas stocking to match Mommy & Daddy's!

Christmas before Thanksgiving???

Well, I hate to say it but yes, we have already done some Christmas stuff! Crazy! I can't believe how much Christmas stuff goes on before Thanksgiving. Anyway, we went to the Christmas Tree lighting at the mall one night and yesterday we went to see Santa! Molly loved seeing all the lights but DID NOT like seeing Santa (we have an awesome picture to prove that)! She also is 9 months now and so funny! She babbles a ton and loves to giggle and is army crawling. We are looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with her :) Here are some fun pictures from our adventures!

Molly was SHOCKED to see this elf on stilts! He stopped to talk to her and she just starred at him with her mouth open.

Molly and our next door neighbor's daughter, Sara - they had the same beanie so they looked like twins!

Daddy loving his little cutieMolly's First Santa Picture - TERRIFIED! :)Comforting Molly after her traumatic Santa picture :)

Halloween Weekend!!!

We had a fun filled Halloween weekend! It started off on Thursday night with some pumpkin carving with all of our neighbors! Then, on Friday we were able to have a "Date Night", thanks to John's mom!!! Saturday was great, we had our neighbors over for some Halloween hanging out in the front yard! We made smores, handing out candy and just relaxed! Molly was Snow White (she was SO cute so I had to put up lots of pictures), Johnny was a Fireman and I was "Johnny's Flame". Enjoy the pictures :) Picture of us from date night!

So happy! Our precious nephews! Their last name is "Lyons", so they were Lions!

Fall Fun!

Well, this past weekend we went up North to visit John's family and meet the new babies - Jackson and Cooper! They are so precious and tiny - we loved smooshing them every minute :)While we were there we all went to the pumpkin patch. There's not a ton that 3 babies can do at the pumpkin patch, but we did get some fun pictures! And well, I (katie) had fun doing all the crafts on Molly's behalf. Also, Molly turned 8 months!!! It's so crazy how much she's changing and learning. We have some fun pictures of her and her many faces!
