Weekend standouts

It's the holiday season so we are as busy as everyone getting last minute preparations done, gifts wrapped and the house cleaned for family to arrive. We had a wonderful time with our mommies group last night as we got the daddies together too! We took the same photo of the babies and my how they have grown. The other photo is something Rigel discovered today... the washing machine... it's like TV to him... he loves to watch it and is doing so while I am able to blog this... maybe it's my million dollar invention... can we make a micro hand-held version? Our are in our bathroom so there he sits in the bumbo on the floor watching it spin and spin... would it be bad if I got some knitting done while he watched it run?

Rigel's First Christmas Photos!

Of course there has to be an official baby's first Christmas photo! We went to our friend's house (we love the Wards) to use their wonderful decorations as the backdrop and put on his cute outfit. And so here it is... Target has nothing on us! Don't worry Granny, you're getting one.

I spy... Rigel

Today is a very cold Colorado day with the temps reading only 10 degrees as I am entering this at 3:30 in the afternoon. It's pretty cold to be galavanting about with a 7month old. So I have to entertain myself, and Rigel somehow. Today we introduced Rigel to the Christmas stuffed animals... and the photo opp that followed! If you have any good ideas how else we can entertain ourselves... we are all ears!

Hunting for a tree

We got invited to go Christmas tree hunting with our great friends, the Dolenc's. Brett's uncle has a nice little cabin in Loveland. We caught a cute moment of the babies checking each other out. We saw a herd of about 30 elk after we got our trees. Boyd wished he'd had a rifle handy and the dogs wished they could run after the elks to play. We love our tree and it entertains Rigel while he eats his cheerios!

Stay at home Mom's Company Christmas Party!

Yep, us SAHM's can have a Christmas party too! So we got to get dressed up and have a lovely dinner with other parents and no baby! This was only our second time out without Rigel. Boyd's brother came to be at the house while Rigel slept. We had a very nice time and the big deal is the skirt I am wearing... Boyd bought it for my birthday and this was finally an occasion to wear such a nice outfit.
