.bettty crocker.

.frosty the snowman.

this is hj's new favorite toy!... its one of those tacky hallmark toys that plays music, lights up, and frosty dances. She will mash the button cutting it on and off ALL NIGHT LONG! When she lets it play she dances around like a crazy person and when it finishes, she will bow saying, "thank you, thank you, thank you!" hahaha... PURE ENTERTAINMENT! AP even enjoys watching it and her. I thought he might be unsure about it, but he isn't and likes to get his hands on frosty too!

.sweet and smiley.

.so thankful for my sweet smiley blessings!.

.oh Christmas tree.

The day after Thanksgiving we got up and went shopping (not at the crack of dawn) then came home for Christmas decorating!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE having our house decorated for Christmas, and it's nice to have extra hands to get it all put up. HJ had a good time helping and AP just jumped in his jumper watching it all.

.thanksgiving.

. i mean better late than never right!. haha.
We had a great Thanksgiving! My family came up for the week/weekend. Thanksgiving morning I ran the Gobbler Run here in Wake Forest, its become a little tradition! Bobby, Allison, and Brandy came over to enjoy Thanksgiving late lunch with us. It was DELICIOUS and such a sweet time with family and friends!After our bellies were full we just hung out watching, American's Next Great Baker (i think that's the name of it)- it was a marathon on TLC! Some of us even dozed off- AP was so interested in HJ's pillow pet!

.HJ in FL.

here are some more pics from HJ's time in FL... from what I can gather she had a great time... there was lots of popsicle eating, time with cousins, a christmas parade with candy, a christmas parade picnik, time out a the padgetts for a christmas party, lots of snuggles, giggles, jumping on the bed, and running wide open with her boy cousins!...i snagged these pictures from my sister in law's blog- she is quite talented when it comes to photography!
