Winter Fun!

Aurora's grandpa came to visit us. I was a great week but very stressful (finals!) we had fun with Randy but not so much fun with those finals. Aurora warmed up pretty quickly to her grandpa and was giving him kisses by the end of the week. We went out to eat and we went shopping and we got to hang out. It was very short but a good visit.

I think she looks so cute in this picture.

Our Christmas tree with our ribbon on it. Aurora doesn't even try to mess with the ribbon. I have our presents on the top shelves in our place and I will put them under the tree on Christmas eve. I am so excited for Aurora.
So on thursday we had our friend Whitney take our family photos. We had planned taking these pictures in October and we waited for snow and it didn't come until last week and now it hasn't stopped snowing. So PJ and grandpa came and held the cameras. it took a little while to get Aurora to smile but I think it went great. We wanted to send out photo Christmas cards so Whitney got us three digital photos the next day to use so I sent them out today. 
If you want to check out Whitney's blog its on my blog list "Hardie Photography" and she will post the rest of the photos after she edits them.

In 2 weeks it will be Christmas!

This is our Christmas tree, I will take a full shot later but Aurora has successfully removed all (shatterproof) ornaments within her reach so I need to make it pretty again and I also need to add the ribbon it got for it. But we just love Christmas and are excited to get to see Gerald's dad the week before. It good to have family around but we are excited to have have our first Christmas by ourselves too. We are hoping for a white Christmas but we'll see.

Pound It!

Aurora's uncle Pj taught her the fist bump or how we say "pound it" it is so freaking cute. She tries and learns so many many things everyday its amazing!

You can pick your nose you can pick your friends...

So Aurora ate a gigantic booger today...I threw up a little in my mouth.

Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving was wonderful, even though we were away from home and our family. We first had a Thanksgiving at Ali and Bryce's it was perfect I was so full afterward. (every time I eat at Ali's house the food is amazing and I eat too much but then I go home wishing I had eaten more it is so delicious) It had been a while since Aurora had been over there so she had fun chasing the cats and trying to eat their food. After lunch we searched the news paper for the deals and mapped out our plan of attack on Black Friday. 

Then we went home to prepare for our next Thanksgiving and get our little baby to take a nap. That nap lasted less than an 1hr. sad. We spent time with Rachael and Warren our extended family out here. And our little Pj was also with us. The boys watched the A&M vs. UT game sadly A&M lost. After cleaning up Rachael and I came up with the plan to see Twilight and we did and I went to bed at 1am only to wake up at 3:30am to hit up the sales. Totally worth it.
