Oh I just love this time of year..

There are so many reasons that I just love this time of the year. It is amazing how much more special it becomes when you have a child too. Today we decided to get outside decorations up. We have had our inside Christmas decorations up or over a month now. Yes, that does mean they went up at the end of October, but we left to go out of town for 3 weeks on Nov. 7th so they had to get done beforehand. No time now that we are back, but Jeremy did work on our outside decorations. Charlee Kate just watched, Jeremy worked, and I wrapped gifts.

My mommy loves this...

Outfit! She kept kicking her legs up so you couldn't really see it, but I loved it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year and little Miss Charlee Kate is one of the best blessings we could ask for! I couldn't wait for her First Thanksgiving, but she didn't have a traditional Thanksgiving outfit. I loved her little outfit, yet I didn't get a great picture in it. I will take another one. We went to my grandparents for lunch and it was so nice to spend so much time with our family. Charlee Kate just talked to everyone too.

Changed from the hat to the bow

Eating at The Classic Wednesday after some pre-early Black Friday shopping. Jeremy had CK all day while mom and I shopped. We got a lot done and found some good deals.

Charlee Kate slept through the whole meal

She is lucky to get to know her great-grandparents

She was even tired after Thanksgiving lunch

I do love the bumbo now

We tried out the bumbo this morning and this is what she thought of it...

Daddy's Lil girl

This was Jeremy's mobile when he was a baby. She loved it!

Just a few things here and there

Simple.... but I love it.

I just love this sweet smile

I just couldn't keep a hat or bow on today

I just love this outfit! It is a lollipop but hard to tell with her hands all over the place

After mom and dad kept her all day, this is what she wanted to do. Just lay in her diaper and kick her socks off. She always has those fists in the air and loves to copy you, especially if you try to snap or stick your tongue out.

Mom is shopping at Midtown and Charlee Kate is knocked out on Pop. He is almost out too.

We had big plans for family pictures today but it was really cold out so we postponed it for another day. Contemplating the picture poses, haha!

Look at her face. She is saying, STOP KISSING ME! We kept kissing on her.

Like I said up above in another picture... she was NOT having it with hats today.

Went for lunch at The Classic and out she went

We decided to go for a very cold run on a day that looked and felt like it could snow. Here we go and she is just going to relax with Gammy while we are gone. Jeremy just thinks he can keep up, but after running up some steep hills and going non-stop, we were both hurting, ha!

ROL TIDE ROLL!

Jeremy and I went to T-town to the Bama game yesterday. It wasn't a "big deal" game. We knew we would win, but I just wanted to go to a game this season. The weather was absolutely perfect! We had a late lunch at a sushi place (not your average game day meal) then walked around a little bit. Mom and dad kept Charlee Kate all day for us. It was weird not having to take care of her all day, but it was a much needed break at the same time. I know these pictures aren't near as cute as all the ones I usually post of her, but it is a little bit of a change. We are eating at The Classic for brunch today so I will have lots more of her to post soon.

Leaving my little girl behind. She was still in jammies

Flag on the car... we are ready to go!

You have to love some Alabama football!

I have LOTS of Auburn bloggers so I am sure, this isn't exciting to you, but I loved it.

Kick off was actually hot. I had to take my jacket off then it got breezy and cool. Beautiful!

Jeremy had peanuts. When he was done eating, I looked down and he had "gathered" all the shells and put them in a pile. I was laughing!!

A Day out with Charlee Kate

Mom and I took Charlee Kate out to a few places today, but The Classic for lunch was a favorite. It was so yummy. Here are a few pictures from our day. Tomorrow she gets the whole day with Gammy and Pop while Jeremy and I go to the Alabama game.

Her cute little dress I had made... but I had another "Imported from Heaven" outfit made that is adorable. Pictures to come soon

A Walk with Nana....

Charlee Kate has been able to walk with her Nana several days this week. This particular day was a cold one, but we had her all bundled up and she was cozy and warm. She even went to sleep!

This was beore she fell asleep

Thanksgiving and Jeremy's birthday celebration. Here he is with his brothers and his dad

Jeremy's actual birthday when we had dinner at his mom and dads with my parents too. We had The Classic to eat. SO good!
