All I Want for Christmas is.....

Well, last year I had posted my Christmas list online and I liked how well it worked out.  My mom has been asking what I want for awhile now (trying to get Christmas shopping out of the way I guess) and every time someone asks me what I want, I can just refer them to this page without having to dig up some piece of paper or remember off the top of my head.

So, without further ado, this is what I want for Christmas this year:

1.  This headband from Sew Whimsey

2.  This white balance lens cap from the Photojojo store (52mm ring size)

3.  A gift certificate to the Sassy Designs shop

4.  A gift card to Adorama

5.  This movie.  I'm obsessed with chick flicks!  :)

6.  Seamless paper.  I'm torn between this color and this color.  Ok, and this one  :)


Now, those are all things that I want (wishful thinking, right?)  On top of that stuff, here are some things I need for my apartment:

a mop

toaster

casserole dishes

muffin tin

set of knives



Now, for Maddie's Christmas list!  Maddie is fairly easy to shop for in the sense that if you buy anything to do with superheroes, barbies, or princesses, you're golden.  But here's a few other things she doesn't know she wants until she gets them:


Cars the DVD

Cars 2 the DVD

Megamind the DVD

Baby doll accessories (i.e. carseat, playpen, etc.)

Woozer

Maddie learned a new word.    Woozer. Translation:  Loser.    She took my hair out of my ponytail and said "Woozer!"    I said, "You're a woozer!"  (I know, great parenting.)    She said, "Ugh!  Excuse me?!  Did you say woozer?" 


Apparently, I am not allowed to call her a woozer.

Warmer Days

 

First, I want to thank Rebecka from By Becka for the photo in my new blog header!  She is such a great photographer and an even better friend  :)

Well, it snowed today.  The first snowfall of the season for us.  I must say that in Utah, we were definitely spoiled with the warmer weather is year.  Although it did rain and snow until the end of June, we had a perfectly sunny October  :)  Even Halloween was amazing!

Maddie has also been gone for the past 3 days and I won't see her until tomorrow.  I really hate not seeing her every day.  I talked to her on the phone today and she seems so grown up already!  It almost made me cry.


So, in order to make me feel better (about both the weather and the absence of Maddie), I decided to post some photos of a trip we took to the park a couple months ago.  Yes, I did take all these photos and completely forgot about them until a week or so ago and they are just too cute not to share!  :)

climbing the tree :)  such an adventurer



rolling down the hill...silly girl!

these ducks live in filth...yuck!

yay for cute summer sandals and dirty feet!  :)

this last photo cracks me up!  Does she know these kids?  Not at all...she's just a people person!

Halloween 2011

 

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!  Here are some photos from our annual family Halloween Party (which was actually a few weeks ago).  I'll share some from Halloween night a little later  :)

I just had to share this last one of Erin...every year she does such an AMAZING job on her costume!  She really goes all out  :)

Here is my little Tinker Bell! (she was not having it at the party for photos, so I got this on Halloween night!)  She looks SO grown up!  :(

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!!
