Na Na & Ba Pa Come to Visit

The day before Thanksgiving we had special vistors - Grandma and Grandpa Friend. For health reasons they haven't made it to St. Louis in quite a while. And we were so excited to have them here. Cooper got to spend so much quality time with them. It was great! Grandpa always gives Cooper some surprises. Usually some vintage toys. This was Cooper's first surprise of the weekend. Some Land Before Time puppets. He loved them!






Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed watching Cooper's bedtime video with him. 


Lots more to come on the Friend Thanksgiving and various family we spent time with over the Thanksgiving weekend....

Sorry

Sorry I've been kinda absent from writing post. I did NOT fall in.

I had a little hang up with blogger and my amount of 'memory' space. So I haven't been able to upload any photos for the past week.

I got it figured out and we are back in business.

Stick around for lots more updates and pictures....

Christmas - an early start


I know, I know what you must be thinking. Christmas already??? Its not even Thanksgiving yet. We have become one of 'those' crazy people getting our stuff out way early.. HA!

Well this year we are hosting the 'Friend Family Thanksgiving/Christmas' at our house. Which we are soo excited about. So we decided to get out most of our decorations out a little early. And I'll admit we are even more excited just to decorate our new house. And since last year we didn't even get to unpack our own decorations since we were living with family around Christmas time. So anyway there you go.. we worked on our tree a few weekends ago. And we are working on putting lights up outside. Love Christmas and I don't mind starting the 'festive-ness'.. just a little early this year.


Our tree looks a little small in our new house. HA! But that's ok. We love it. Maybe after Christmas we can find a great deal on tree that is a little taller.

I always bite my nails as he climbs around up on the roof. Even more so not that our roof is much higher and bigger. 


Progress on the neighbors rebuilding their house. (fyi the house burnt down about a year ago, before we bought our house).


You can see the progress of the front yard. The tree was cut down near the house. And Joe planted new bushes and re did the retaining wall to make room for our fountain.



Cooper loves running through the lights.
