Riley's First Christmas! Part 1

This year we celebrated another first! Our baby boy not only turned 3 months old on Christmas Day but he celebrated his first Christmas! Charlotte enjoyed her first Christmas actually understanding how to unwrap presents, even though she had a little help but did some on her own. It was such a wonderful time had by our family of four!

Today it is all about cookies and our Christmas Eve! We had such a wonderful long four day weekend with Daddy and definitely soaked in all the time we had with him!











We made so many cookies and it took all of Tuesday and then Christmas Eve day to get them fully ready and prepared! We prepared the dough on Tuesday while Scott was home, let it chill in the fridge all of Wednesday and then baked, frosted, and decorated Christmas Eve day! It was a busy few days but a fun few days as well! 

Once all the cookies were prepared, we all scrambled, or Scott and I scrambled to get both kiddos and ourselves ready for Christmas Eve dinner at Mom's with the family. 

Our little Santa and elf ready for Christmas Eve

Handing out presents, like such a big girl

Coloring in her new coloring books! This girl loves, loves, loves to color

Christmas Eve is exhausting when you are a 3 month old! Daddy loved holding Riley though so it was all comfy and cozy for the sleepyhead!

He is so precious while he sleeps! 

He also slept in Mimi's lap too!

Our tree and the hallmark channel on before Santa arrives! 


Someone is excited for his First Christmas

So it was absolutely nasty and rainy Christmas Eve day and night so I got to open a present from the husband early, actually two. These were opened Christmas Eve, Eve and Christmas Eve I got to open my rain jacket which for someone reason I do not have a picture of! It is absolutely beautiful and my husband did an amazing job surprising me this year! 


This boy refused to be put down in his crib to fall asleep, so he laid with Daddy and went to sleep! Such a sweet loving boy! 

Santa came, and we have a pretend fireplace so that it looks cozy and warm, even though its actually 70 degrees outside! Eek, too warm for Christmas Eve

Santa came and left tons of goodies for Charlotte and Riley, and the Wicks Family were all snuggled in their beds finally haha!

Come on back tomorrow to check out Part 2.... Weekend Recap Christmas edition! 

Have a great Tuesday!
XOXO

2019 Year In Review: Part 3

Hello!  It is such a hard time in the world right now. It has been a couple months since I last wrote, life has been busy, but while everyone is social distancing, staying home, and doing our part to get rid of this nasty virus I wanted to post some memories of last year to remember. October-December of 2019 were packed full of activities, and just going through the pictures is exhausting, so I have no idea how I even kept up! Grab a drink, and cozy up and I hope you enjoy! October  October started out with birthday naps. All three kiddos are in the same room, and I was laying on the bed with Skyler and we all napped and was just what this momma needed for her birthday!  Hubby brought me the most beautiful flowers for my day and we got booed, by a mystery neighbor Naps were had, especially in mommy's arms  and all of the kindergarten crafts occurred. We painted a pumpkin after her favorite book character Ferdinand.  Quick f...

I have a combination of good and bad school pictures just to mix it up a little bit!  Little baby Cat right before Pre-K!  Back in 2005, I was in middle school and going through a short hair and converse phase where I wore a lot of black and tried to fit in with a certain group of people! I was such a goof And Throwing it back to 2004! Aren't I just cute?!  Senior Year of High School  Senior Year pictures! I had ridiculously long hair that didn't like to cooperate for pictures!

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday!  Today I am linking up with Andrea , Narci , and Erika for some Friday Favorites full of sunshine, walks, and playing outside! We have enjoyed getting out and playing and we had a five day weekend for St. Patrick's Day and we enjoyed every bit of it!  We have had gorgeous weather the past week and we have been soaking it up with all the park time and this little guy has been loving the warm weather too! He loves just chilling in his car seat while the older two run and get all the wiggles out!  We have also been taking an afternoon walk around our neighborhood and these kids are all about riding their bikes or running in front of the stroller while we do that! Getting out and watching these two have a good time is definitely a favorite!  Our little turned one month old a week ago! While it makes me sad that he is growing so fast, it is definitely a favorite to know he has been ours for four weeks now! It's been so muc...
