November Adventures!

What a nice relaxing month it has been, as the holidays have begun! We celebrated Brightlie's birthday, busted out the winter clothes and blankets, spent Thanksgiving with our Friends, survived the mad-dash of Black Friday, and put up the Christmas lights! Take a look...

Brightlie's 1st Birthday- can't believe how big she is!!!

Nov. 10, 2010...presents at home included a new dress, cute pink puma shoes, and several books!

Welcome to our home!

Paul & I enjoyed putting up the house lights together!

(Paul had on a happy face, even though he hammered his thumb and it was a bloody, painful ordeal.

He's so great, such a happy hubby! Thanks for making our house look great babe!)

Brightlie's new coat I bought on Black Friday- Pink Cheetah- soooo CUTE!!!!

Thanks giving with the HOFFMAN'S- we love you!

Me, Leeandra (my good friend/neighbor) and her sister, Dedra.

The three of us went black friday shopping togther, and started the night camped out at 7pm Thurs. at Toys R Us. It was quite the event! Paul and I got home @ 7:30am- we later went back out to hit Hobby Lobby & Babies R Us at 1:00pm on Friday afternoon- way to go Paul- such a trooper. He and Leeandra's hubby sat at Best Buy all night.... but we got a new net book, and camera! (Total: Toys R Us, Best Buy, Khols, the Mall, Hobby Lobby, & Babies R Us).

The neighbors, all enjoying the day and good food!

Brightlie... tired, but happy!

Paul & I, enjoying the moment!

Thanks to Leeandra for making such great food and inviting us into her home! (You too, Mike!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!!!!

I can't believe my baby is 1 already! I mean, I was just barely prego, throwing up all day, visiting the doc, making hospital plans, and then I was about to deliver.... like yesterday right?! It seriously seems like it was only a few weeks ago, and I remember that night/day... so much love was felt between Paul and I as we held our new lil baby. We were so excited to have so many friends and fam come & visit us, and every moment since then has been such an adventure. We love Brightlie so much... she is growing so fast, and is so independent already :) We love you B! We can't wait to see what this next yr. holds. We celebrated mostly on Sat., Nov. 6 with a Birthday Party at Silvergate Park. Lots of friends and family came, and it was so much fun! We are so proud of our lil baby girl, and are so blessed to be her parents. This past yr. was one of the most fun, scary, exciting, and adventurous ones we have ever had as a couple- what a joy you are, Brightlie D. WE LOVE YOU!

Princess Pigtails!

I have been awaiting this day, and it's finally here (well, actually this past week)! Brightlie's hair is finally long enough to do pigtails!!! SOOOOOO CUTE!
