Bitty Booties

I found the pattern for these sweet things athttp://heatherbailey.typepad.com/. All you have to do is scroll down to the free patterns. I thought they were pretty cute and I had to try them. They didn't take too long, but it was a lot of fun, and I thought they turned out pretty cute.

It's been warm enough to go out and play this last week, so Owen finally got to play with his Christmas present outside. It was sure fun. He did really well, until the girls next door came out and were playing on their bikes, then he got distracted. I think he would really love to play t-ball.

Sunday Dress/9 months old

My dear sweet Electa is now 9 months old. I can hardly believe it. How time has passed so quickly. She is somewhere around 19-20 lbs and now in her 9-12 month old clothing. She sure not as little as she used to be. This is her cute new Sunday dress. She didn't really want to wear her headband and bow. I got her to wear it for about an hour before it promptly came off. But she sure is cute. She's now doing the ary crawl and trying to pull herself up on things. She's pretty steady on her feet, well more than Owen was at this time, and loves playing with just about everything. (Especially the computer doors). We sure love her.

In Daddy's shoes

Owen loves to put Daddy's shoes on. It was so funny to try and watch him walk around. So very cute!

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was great watching Owen get into Christmas this year. All season he sang "Santa Clause is coming Owen's House." He had such a good day. We did too. We love Christmas, and I am so thankful to those who helped make it wonderful.

Let it Snow!

These pictures come from the weekend before Christmas. It snowed like crazy. I've never seen it snow like this in Virginia. It was like we were in Idaho... Except we've become accustomed to the climate here. The kids didn't like it much. Owen was upset that he couldn't ride his bike. I enjoyed it. I went for a walk, came home and enjoyed the hot chocolate.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Can you tell where Owen hung his ornaments? They came on and off the Christmas tree several times, but usually in the same place.
