Ginger Bread and Salt Dough

December 8th was a very eventful night of Christmas fun!! Our friends Steve and Lara came over to make gingerbread men and trains, drink hot coca, and watch Christmas movies!!
Here we go...
Blake's of course did not want to miss a party, just like her mommy!!! So she joined us in her high chair. She looks so BIG!!!!
Decorating was a blast. We had so much candy!
Mmm.. Frosting!
Coco motion!!! What a great invention :).
Wow they turned out so cute!!!
They slept over, SO glad Blake slept good that night so she didn't wake them up!!
In the morning we had breakfast and made tree ornaments!!
I wanted to get a hand and foot print of Blakelee, for some reason it was so funny trying to get her prints, she was so confused and had her toes and fingers all curled up because she did not want to get it done. We were finally able to get good prints, we made 3 hand prints one for us, and both the grandparents!!
Rolling the dough.
Steve wanted a print of his teeth... haha!!! Well... it back fired! It got stuck in his mouth and of course was nasty because it tasted like pure salt!! Ewww!! Sorry Steve hope the tooth brush and paste helped out.
The finished project!!!
They turned out so cute.
Very pleased with them :).
Thanks for such a fun weekend you guys!
Can't wait till next year we should do more fun activities like this!!

Dickens Festival

A few weeks ago the girls all went to the Dickens Festival. It is Down Town and only in town for a few weeks. When I was younger I used to Clog Dance here!! It was one of my most favorite traditions of the season. So we decided that we were going to have a fun afternoon walking around looking at the vendors and seeing all the fun Christmas Decorations.
Waiting in Line. It was VERY busy!!
Laryssa is the Ghost of Christmas... Something!! Haha not sure what one she is.
We took the girls to see Father Christmas. This Santa is amazing!!! He doesn't wear the normal Santa suite he wears Father Christmas attire!! He is so cute. But... the pictures were over $30 and you can't take your own pictures, Bummer!!
Waiting to see Father Christmas.
Reindeer!!!
After a fun day we went back to my moms house and hung out. Blake's was such a good little girl!! She loved the whole day.
Love the Dickens Festival!!!

Excited for Christmas

I just love that Grin so much!!!
She is so excited about Christmas, She has been a good girl and can not wait for Santa to come visit her!!! only 2 more days yay. :)

2 Months

November 30th was Blakelee's 2 month Day!!
In the morning we went to her Dr. Appointment. She got her shots.. She did not like them of course. She was super mad at first but then calmed right down when they were done. Tough cookie!! She weighed 10.10 and was almost 23 inches long.
25% for her head
50% for her weight
75% for her length
She is going to be one tall girly!!
Blakelee is the apple of our eye, we love her so much and can not get enough of her.
She is getting so interactive.
She smiles so much and has the cutest dimple on her left cheek that really shows with those big grins.
She scowls just like Papa Scott haha.
Her left eyebrow raises a lot.
She is starting to grab things and really hold on tight, like my hair and my finger.
I love it when I feed her she holds onto my finger and wont let go!!
We have started her on a nighttime routine, around 9:30 we bathe her, feed her, and put her straight down for the night. She will sleep close to 9 or 10 hours!! (not recently because of a growth spurt she is going through). When I am bathing her she just stares at me with those big blue eyes. It melts my heart and I just stare back and talk to her.
Blake's has the sweetest little voice when we get her to talk she will make you laugh and grin from ear to ear. She is just so precious. She is starting to sort of laugh, it is only one pushed out laugh and it is the cutest thing ever. Her head control is amazing!! I hold her like a big girl when she is awake and she does so great!! Sometimes we almost but heads so I have to be quick to help her out, but for the most part she is great. She loves to sit not lay. We help her sit up all the time and she thinks she is such a big girl. She will do fabulous on tummy time but she gets bored fast... We will be working on that so she can learn to roll.
Blake's is scooting!!! I find her out of her blankets almost to the top or side of crib almost every morning because she is learning how to scoot so well. We put our hands on her feet during tummy time and she will push off and scoot forward! Good job baby girl.
She is one good baby. I have heard many times from many people how patient and calm she is. She only cries when she is hungry, needs a diaper change, or is bored. When she has something to look at she will sit or lay for a long time and entertain herself!! She lets me run errands without being fussy. Heavenly Father gave us just what we needed I don't know what I would do with a hard baby. She knows the people in her life she looks at them and smiles because she knows they are important. She still has acid reflux, poor thing, and we just got her new formula to help with spit up and to help her go potty... It is amazing how one type of formula can not be digested as easy!
I miss this little one like crazy when I am at work. She hold such a special place in both of our hearts!! Love her to pieces and can not wait to continue to watch her grow and learn.

Gardner Village Elf's

My sister, Jaelyn, Blakes, and I went to Gardner Village to see the Elf's and to pick up some Christmas Gifts for Blakelee!! We got what we needed and so we decided to get some Hot Coca while we were their.They had the best Smore Hot Coca. We got Jaelyn a yummy cookie as well.
It was a fun little outing with our babies!!!
