Makin' Christmas Memories!!

 I love making memories- especially Christmas memories!! And of course it's even more fun with Ryan!! We are having an amazing first Christmas for Ryan and just soaking up every minute!
Last night we spent time with my family watching Christmas movies and decorating cookies for Santa! Ryan was asleep for most of it... but that's ok! I had fun decorating for him!!
Here's some pics:

Well, I've been lacking on the blog lately! Here's what we've been up to!

Ryan and I in front of a big ole tree!

Silly baby loves eating his socks! 

Take out the batteries and Ryan thinks it's the greatest toy ever!

We went to Chick Fil-A this past Saturday and got to meet Santa Cow!

No tears! Just confusion...

Uncle Bud is home for Christmas break!

This picture came out awful but we went to the symphony on Sunday! Great show!

 As boring as that is- that's all I got right now! Christmas is only 6 days away and we are so excited! This is a very special Christmas for our little family! Matt and I are so excited to celebrate Ryan's first Christmas! We are blessed!

Waste Away Thursday

Hey loves! Sorry I've been MIA from Thursdays! Life is crazy right now, but here's a few of my recent loves and obsessions!

My iPad
I got my iPad for a very early birthday present back in July and am still loving it and addicted to it! I'm on it all the time at home and I have it propped up playing Pandora (Christmas music, duh!!) when I'm working in the house! I love it! Over Thanksgiving break, my cousins and I got addicted to 2 games and have been playing them ever since. Here they are, I warn you! Very addictive!

Flow Free

Candy Crush

This Lipstick
I've been wearing Covergirl "Euphoria" a lot lately and topping it with a little Mary Kay "Rich Fig" for the perfect dark red for winter! I've been loving it! 

Here it is on:

Leggings as Pants
I know. Horrible fashion crime! But, guess what? I really don't care! Leggings are so much more comfortable than pants and sometimes you can just do that! Here's my latest legging loves!
Here's a few that I have that I love:
Leopard

Jeggings

(And of course the normal black ones... like 492 pairs...)

Ones I want!:

Sweater

Striped

Fur Vests
I finally got a fur vest last week and am loving it! I found it at Forever21! I want more!! Here's the one I got:

Well, that's all I got today girls! Until next time!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Well folks, it's that time of the year! My favorite time of the year! CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody freak out! I know I am!! I'm trying to soak it all in because every year it goes too fast and this year is a very special one :)
Here's my lil Christmas angel wearing Daddy's hat! And guess where we are?? The allergist. Blah!

 Long story short: last week we found out that Ryan is allergic to milk, eggs, peanuts and pet dander! He drinks milk-based formula and we have 2 dogs! Great!
After 3 doctors visits he is now drinking soy formula, washing his clothes in hypoallergenic detergent, using a steroid cream for his eczema, and giving him prescription allergy medicine at night along with an array hypoallergenic lotions and washes! Geez! He's more high maintenance than me... almost :)

So, that was the excitement last week! This past weekend we finally decorated the tree! It's been up for a few weeks but we just hadn't had a chance to actually decorate it! I wanted Ryan to be apart of it and finding a time when he wasn't sleeping or eating is rare!

My angel in front of the tree! He loved it!

Sunday night we had our annual Christmas dinner at church! We get dressed up and have a great time eating, enjoying each other's company and a short program! Ryan did so good!

This was Sunday morning at church- notice his snowman sweater vest :)

Until next time! This is all I got today folks!
