10 Month Pictures

Preston wasn't feeling too well the day we took his 10 month pictures but he was a trooper and gave me all that he had. He actually ended up throwing up half way through, hence the new outfit. My little boy is growing so quickly.

Love you Bubba!!

Photoshoot with Preston

Nana gave me $50 to get Preston his Christmas outfit. Totally excited to go shopping I headed straight to Baby Gap because their clothes are soo adorable. I had a hard time deciding but finally decided on an outfit that would be perfect for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think Preston looks so cute in onsie type outfits so I got him a red, cream and green plaid onsie. I also found the cutest hat to go with it. I discovered that Preston doesn't really like to have anything on his head because he would rip the hat right off when I put it on him. Oh well. Live and learn. I took him out to the park to get a few pictures of him in his new outfit. My little boy is so photogenic!!

Family Photos

My wonderful mom did me a huge favor and took pictures of me, Brent and Preston for our Christmas card this year. I think she did a great job. Here are a few from the day...

Splish Splash Preston's Taking a Bath

Preston loves bath time because he gets to sit in really warm water, splash all around and make a big mess of water everywhere. I haven't attempted to introduce the bath toys that scared him when he was younger because the blue bucket and a couple of plastic letters seem to suffice him just fine. To my surprise he never cries when water gets in his eyes or when I have to rinse the soap out of his hair. He loves to grab the drain plug and open and close it shut. His new thing now that he can stand on his own is to lean over the bath tub when I am running the water and put his hand under the running water like momma does.

This boy loves his blue bucket

Christmas Craft Night

Kathy invited Jessie and I over last week for a Christmas Craft Night. We each had to come up with a Christmas craft and bring all the supplies for everyone to make your craft. I had such a hard time deciding what I wanted to bring because I had so many that I wanted to do but in the end, I decided my craft to be a wooden Christmas tree made out of 2x4’s. I saw this on Pintrest of course and could hardly wait to get started on it.

I prepared the wood beforehand by cutting all the pieces and painting them because I knew the pieces had to be dry before we could decorate them. Good thing I did my prep work because we had just enough time that evening to get all 3 crafts done before it got too late.

We started the evening with dinner that Kathy made and then we started on Jessie’s craft…Holiday coasters made with tiles, mod podge and Christmas napkins. I really liked the patterns she chose and all our coasters ended up coming out really cute.

Kathy prepared a Santa cone made with red velvet material, white fuzzy trim and sparkles for the belt. We finished this one pretty quickly but it can out really cute.

Then we made my wooden Christmas tree and I was actually surprised by how different all of ours came out. We all took a few ideas from each other and created 3 really cute trees.

Can’t wait to do this again next year!!!

Jessie's, Kathy's then mine
