December = Busy...Busy...Busy!!

I am absolutely a kid at heart when it comes to this time of year.  I love the chance of snow, Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas shopping, family events....anything and everything about Christmas, I love it.  And of course, the real reason for the season...the birth of Jesus Christ!  So with all that being said, I love that I am able to celebrate all these special moments with Taylor.  I get to relive my childhood all over again and watch it through the sweet innocence of her eyes.  Although, she has seen Santa when walking through the mall, we haven't had her picture made with Santa yet but we are definitely going to in the near future.  Taylor loves when we are riding around at night and looking for Christmas lights....I like it too!

So as if all the Christmas excitement wasn't enough, we have SOOO many birthdays in my family this month too, including Taylor's.  There are 7 birthday in my family this month, it's absolute craziness and I helped add to the madness when Taylor was born, my Christmas eve baby! 

We celebrated her birthday this past weekend, it was a Minnie Mouse party at our house and it SNOWED!  It started snowing about 15 minutes before her party started and snowed the rest of the day and into the night, we ended up getting around 3 inches.  A girl I use to work with made her birthday cake, it was soooo cute and yummy and I made alot of her decorations because they didn't have any red Minnie Mouse decorations, it was all pink.  So I made her "Happy Birthday" banner and made little mickey mouse cut-outs to go around the table cloth and I made her a Minnie mouse bow for her birthday outfit.  I'm trying to be creative, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  Also after her party and after a well needed nap for Taylor, we loaded up in Jonathan's, Sutphin's Lawn Service, work truck and we rode in the Pilot parade.  I really wanted Taylor to be able to watch it this year, but it was snowy and COLD, so we decided to ride in the truck with Jonathan, which was fun too, Taylor waved at everybody and yelled "Merry Christmas" at everybody, it was too cute!

Back to trying to be creative......My mom is going to come give me a lesson on the sewing machine soon, I'm pretty intimidated by it but hopefully I can concur the sewing machine and show it who's boss :o)  I have no idea what I'm doing, but I have all kinds of good intentions! 

So....that's what is going on with us this month....It's crazy busy, full of birthdays and Christmas events, but it's lots of fun and I love creating all these memories and traditions for Taylor.

Here are some pics of what's been going on with us lately......
