Santa


I love this Picture of Libby and Santa (My Dad) I think it's such a cute picture because she is listening so carefully to him and because it's her grandpa so it makes it that much better.

Christmas











We had such a good Christmas. Libby was so much fun this year she had so much fun opening presents and seeing all the fun new toys and clothes. I think my favorite part was when she said a few different times "I always wanted one of these" It was seriously so cute I also Loved how grateful she was for everything she recieved. Christmas morning when she headed downstairs she was so excited to see what santa brought her and when she got to the bottom of the stairs all she could do was sit back against the couch and look at the fun presents santa brought, after a little while of Scott and I saying go open them see what they are she finally started tearing through them. She opened up some of her clothes and Would hold them up to her and say " Just my size mom they are big just like me" I thought it was so cute. We had such a good Christmas thanks to everyone who made it that way.

Fall Leaves


We thought it would be fun to take Libby outside to play in the fall leaves. We all had fun throwing them at each other and Libby liked jumping into the big pile daddy would rake up.
