Snowmen smocked dress! I love it

Charlee Kate wore one of my favorite little smocked dresses to church on Sunday. She looked so cute, but I didn't get to take any good pictures. I had to go a few places after we went to breakfast so I ask Jeremy to take some for me when they got home. He did as I ask but.... she didn't really pose for the pictures, but at least he took some.

So now it is Monday...back to school I go. It wasn't very easy leaving her that is for sure! I hope to have some more pictures this week. I will definitely be posting some of her new kitchen that I created in my mind and it turned out super cute! Can't wait to show it off. Happy Monday!

Here are the last few "random" pictures from Bama that I never did post for some reason. I did not have a hat for Charlee Kate one day when she went walking with Nana, so Nana put this hat on her. It looked so cute!

Heading back to Bama, we had 30 seats to ourselves on the back of the plane. Charlee Kate sat and played with her horsie and pig.

The gorgeous, gorgeous tree at The Classic! It was sooooo beautiful. Gosh how I love Christmas decorations.

Here we go!

2011 here we go! Time to make it the best ever. Here are a few pictures of my little lovey in her new Juicy outfit from Auntie Ashley. It was so cute and Auntie Ashley knows what I love! On this day... Charlee Kate stayed with Marty for a little while Jeremy and I did a few things we needed to do in Tampa. The best part was lunch at Wrights... yummy!!!! Now just time to get started again. Here we go : )

She loves to go walking in her wagon, stroller, or just out walking. She has become a big time "daddy's girl"

I love this picture... she is singing, which is something she does alllll the time. She is singing "Good Morning" and this is the "OR" part in morning. LOL

OH.... and just for the record, NEVER is a very very strong word, but I feel like I can use it safely here. I will NEVER be one of those people that says "I am bored and ready to go back to work", LOL.

Time to wrap it up...

Our family meal at Bonefish when my parents were in Florida...

So 2010 is officially over and here are the last few pictures and excitements from our trip home in Bama. The January "blues" are about to set in now that our holidays are over, but hopefully they won't be too depressing. We have so many fun things ahead of us that just getting back into our daily routine will be good for us. So I was HORRIBLE with picture taking the last few days in Bama. Not sure why, but we were just enjoying relaxing and doing whatever we wanted. Here is what has happened:

** Tuesday night we went to eat at my MOST FAVORITE place ever for my birthday. I had some yummy tuna, strawberry salad, and several desserts

** Wednesday was my birthday, Dec. 29th. WOW, the big 3-2. How has that happened?? I enjoyed the day with a good run. Then all my grandparents and my uncle (Dad's brother) came over for dinner at mom and dad's. It was so good to see them and let Charlee Kate show off all her tricks!

** Thursday.... Jeremy and I took off for Atlanta. Mom and dad had Charlee Kate and we took 2 days to go shopping and out to eat for my birthday. It was so odd being able to shop at ALL MY FAVORITE stores and never have to look at my watch. I found some good deals and had fun. Jeremy is always a great partner to shop with! He is so good to help me and just do whatever. That night we had a yummy dinner at Ruth Chris.

** Friday.... we shopped more and more in Atlanta then met up with our high school friends for a very late lunch. We love seeing them and this was our first time to meet their little 2 year old. We love to talk about the past and all our fun we have had together. We haven't seen them for 2 years, yet we pick up like we saw them yesterday. Those are true friends!!!

** For New Years Eve, we planned to stay in Atlanta, but then at the last minute drove back to Birmingham. We went to see Lindsay, Todd, and Mary Florence. Boy do I miss them!!! It was way to short, but we got to spend some time with them. Then off to hang out with Jennifer and Michael. We laughed, laughed, and laughed more. It was great

** New Years Day: Watched an AWESOME Bama game with my parents, played, low key, then off to my aunt's to eat a great New Years Day meal with all my cousins, grandparents, and family. Then mom and I found a great deal on a new 9 foot Christmas tree. Now we have to figure out how to get it to Tampa, but I have 11 months before I need it.

** Sunday: just relaxed with our family. Had to pack up for Florida and figure out how to get home with all the stuff. Oh... and a tan! I do love that mom can spray me!

**Monday...we made it back home safely and had the best flight! CK was in the best mood and just loved to sing to everyone. Have I mentioned how much she loves to sing? She has done this since birth, but sings songs you recognize now. Not sure where this talent comes from, LOL

Now it is time to get back into a routine. This was probably one of the best Christmas's I have ever had! I wish K&K and the kids would have been here with us, but I know they were loving Pittsburgh cold weather. I hate to see this time of the year end, but it is time for a brand new year and I am looking forward to it! My little "lovey" is getting to be so much fun! I will post a video my mom took with her phone. It is sideways (sorry), but so cute. This was taken when we were in Atlanta. Happy New Year!

My grandparents... the kids call them "Gogles"

My dad's dad and my Uncle Tim, not sure how he is an Auburn fan. My granddad says he must have gotten hit in the head with a brick as a child

Sorting out all her cherrios

She loved for Granddaddy to throw her up in the air

Here is the video that I just love! Sorry it is sideways

This is what it's all about....

Relaxing, eating out, spending time with friends and family, sitting by the fire, sipping coffee, then all the fun extra things like sleeping and shopping!!!! I love my Christmas Holidays

Remember a post about 3 months ago of my friend Emily and her Nashville wedding???

Well here we are again, meeting for breakfast. It really is amazing how we can pick up where we left off no matter how much time has passed. She is my lifelong friend and always will be. Me, mom, and CK met Emily and Patsy (her mom) for breakfast. It was a lot of fun and CK definitely took the place apart.

Mom and Patsy

Here are pictures of us with Haley (Mindi was here too but she was taking the picture). We have had Christmas celebrations with them for as long as I can remember. We all started keeping Haley when she was 6 months old and since then, she has pretty much become a "Whatley member". I love that "Miss Cotton"

How is Haley not a baby anymore? Now she is playing with MY BABY!

Charlee Kate loved to eat mom's turtle pretzels, but she would eat the pretzel part and give the chocolate and pecan to mom. So yes... basically she just liked the pretzel

My Miss Priss and that is what she has been lately

The doggies like to enjoy the fire too

This has been the best ever... I have like 3 cups a day with how cold it has been. I love it
