2.5 hours...really?

I was reminded today why I really do not like getting holiday pictures taken.

It took 2.5 hours and while the outcome was wonderful...(really great pictures) I also became very hot and sweaty (I think they had the heat on and there were like 10 families in there at once), I was totally irritated (as I tend to be in crowds), I had a very unhappy one year old (what's new?), and a very hungry 2 year old.

At the end of the day though I have some preicous memories of my two favorite people in the whole world!

Party Time!

We had an absolute blast at Shelby's 1st Birthday Party, and yes I am behind on posting about this!

The girl has some serious friends, and we had a house full of friends and family who love and care for our Shelby. We are all blessed to have such wonderful people to share our lives with. I cannot say thank you enough to my mom and mother-in-law for all that they did and continue to do for my little family.

Shelby was blessed with some great new outfits, books, and toys.

Shelby was so sweet! She was not really sure about the gift opening, but climbing on top of the gifts was a priority.

 

You know that feeling you get...

when you leave for vacation and for hours after you leave you ask yourself if you've forgotten something?

That is honestly how I feel all the time now.

 And usually the answer is yes, I forgot something...again!

Diapers maybe, or I forgot to fill the wipe container (let me tell you this becomes a hot mess, when you then have to figure out how to wet down paper towels to use), I don't know how many times I've left my phone at home, or the front door unlocked...ALL day, while we're gone.

So aggravating!
