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!


with love,

Waste Away Thursday

Well it's thank heavens it's Thursday again! It's the end of the work week for me and I've got a fun weekend ahead! Dinner with friends tonight just to catch up and for them to see Ryan! Then dinner again Friday night with more friends for my birthday! Razorbacks play Saturday but sadly that hasn't been going very well recently but I'm still gonna watch gosh darn it!

OK sweets, here's my recent loves/obsessions/confessions, etc!

1. Diet coke. I've tried to quit for YEARS but I just can't. I only have 1 in the mornings but you try and take that away from me and I'll sock you in the face!!

2. These amazing skull boots! I couldn't get a picture of the DSW website but click here to see them! I'm obsessed and I might have to break down and order them very, very soon!!

3. Big chunky necklaces! I confess, I've got the bubble necklace in 2 colors and wear it often! I can't get enough! You want one? Call or Facebook Lavish in Russellville! They ship :) You'll thank me later. (click here for their FB page).

4. This is more of an obsession/frustration. I love Halloween and I LOVE dressing up! But this year I'm getting a little stressed! We do Trunk or Treat at our church every year and this year since it's Ryan's first Halloween I want his costume to be perfect! But, Matt and I also have to dress up and decorate our car! It's hard finding an infant costume that also has coordinating adult costumes that aren't too expensive or embarrassing! (I'll wear anything, Matt on the other hand, will not!!) It's becoming a task, let me tell you! I think I have it figured out, but it hasn't been easy!! And no, we're not going as toast. Sorry.

That's all I got for now folks! Much love!
