Christmas Break Is Almost Over :/

I always look forward to Christmas break for several reasons, but one is that Scott and I are both off of work for two weeks. We just spent a lot of time together as a family without the stress of waking up early, rushing out of the house, rushing home to do dinner/baths/bed, and other tasks that come with working! Even though we both go back to work on Monday, I always say I have the next best job to being a stay at home mom. Teachers have awesome hours and get every single holiday off to spend with family!! Landon was just playing in his big boy seat!!

 I am loving Landon's sweet hands and lips in this picture!!

New Year's Eve

Emma and I went over to Brandon my brother) & Krista's house tonight. Scott stayed home since Landon goes to bed early and watched a movie. Kendra, Julie, and their families came over. My dad came over too. We had BBQ, baked beans, chips, s'mores, key lime pie, and cookies. It was a lot of fun! Emma and I left around nine to get home and celebrate the rest of the night with Scott!

2014 has been a great year!!! We have made a ton of memories as a family. We were blessed with Landon this year and for that reason alone, this year has been awesome. I can't wait to see what 2015 brings!!!

Football Fan

Landon wore this shirt today since the Bulldawgs were playing in their bowl game!

Our Country Boy

I put Landon into these overalls today since the weather was nice outside and for the fact that I wanted him to at least wear them once before he outgrew them!!

Landon's First Foods

I was just looking through my phone and came across these pictures from the end of November. It was when we first started Landon on baby food. This first night, we had him try carrots. I then decided I wanted to make all of his food for health & price benefits. I ordered a baby bullet and have since made homemade pureed bananas, apples, squash, sweet potatoes, pears, avocados, and peas. He actually will not eat bananas from the jar anymore! I think I have spoiled him!! :) 

The True Meaning

I made this shirt for a friend's little boy and loved it so much! It shows the true meaning of Christmas and what a holy night it was!!! Yes, we do Santa and elf of the shelf, but we also talk about the real meaning of Christmas and read the Christmas story every year!!

Sparkle Dots

We had our elf on the shelf last year, but she stayed put on our mantle because we felt like Emma wasn't old enough to understand it all. This year we read the story to her and she decided to name her Sparkle Dots!! She likes Twilight Sparkle in My Little Pony and then her skirt has polka dots so we just combined the two. :) She sat around some, but Scott did make her do some silly stuff during her stay at our house. One night Emma did not put up her toys, so Sparkle Dots helped her. Emma was sad to see her go, but we promised she would return next year!

 Then she decided to eat some of Emma's cereal one morning. 

 I ordered some signs from Jane to use with Sparkle Dots. They were cute & sweet!

Here are a few more things that Sparkle Dots did this month.
