Be-lated Xmas News! (Photo overload)

We alternate Christmas celebrations each year between my family family in PA and Justin's family in NC. This year was PA. We all had so much fun! So here are the pics...

This is Dexter's cardboard house! Everyone that came over helped to color it and signed their name on the inside. Dexter loved running in and out of the little house.

My cousin Matt loved the house too!

This plastic rat hung out with Dexter in the house a lot!

Dexter and his second cousin, Maddie. She's too cute!

Christmas Eve Celebrations! Second cousin, Nathan. Dexter is still excitedly attacking other children, so this is me holding him back. It's embarrassing.

Obsessed with standing on chairs, toys, anything right now!

Second cousin, Jack.

Daddy and Baby. Baby looking a bit tired.

Family in the snow

Dexter wasn't too stoked on his first experience playing in the snow.

I'm not really sure what's happening with my hat here.

Cute, cuddly, snow baby!

32, WooWho!

I turned 32 years old yesterday. It's crazy to think that I've been alive for 32 years. I don't feel old or anything. I actually feel more comfortable with who I am than ever before. I have good friends, and I'm a good friend in return. I do however, feel a sense of urgency on some things... enhancing my career (most likely finding a new job), and having another baby (NOT too soon of course). Those two things don't mesh well together.

Yesterday, for my birthday, we went for a family walk. This doesn't happen very often. Justin took the photo, he was there too. That's the rare part! The weather was incredible! Later on we all went out for a last minute dinner with a few friends. We were out past Dexter's bedtime. He was a little restless, but nothing playing with a few pairs of chopsticks couldn't help! Yep, I give him dangerous things (under supervision of course) to keep him happy in public.

Justin has a weekend get-a-way planned for us this month for my bday! I'm super stoked. I'm not exactly sure where we are going, it's a surprise. I hate surprises, I'm too much of a control freak, hehe.

I will have a Xmas post soon. I'm still waiting on pics from the Husband. BTW, I did get two wonderful items from my wish list I posted! I got The Mat and a LuLu gift card, with which I purchased my pants! Yes! Love both items. They made me a very happy Yogi!

Random... The Cat, Spitfire... He's so old and has shit on and ruined every bath and door mat we have. But, in this pic he looks handsome and you wouldn't know he's completely losing his mind...

Happy New Year! I feel like 2011 is going to be an exciting year. Starting with a new look for my blog...Coming soon!

First Birthday! (Finally!)

Posted by Lynn at 2:31 PM

Saturday December 4th we celebrated Dexter's First Birthday!

I was completely frantic all day preparing. Justin and his friends built a deck and patio in our backyard so that we would have enough room for all of the people. We figured it may be kinda chilly being the beginning of December and all, but we would have fire pit and it would be a great area for guests to hang out. Well, the weather took a turn for the worst. About an hour before the party it began raining, snowing, and some hail! After a few mild panic attacks, everything turned out fine, we just packed 35 or people in our tiny house. It was a bit chaotic!

By the end of the party Dexter was so tired, he was just wondering around through the people.

I'm so thankful that my Mom was in town all week to help me with the party and Dexter. He had so much fun with Grandma!

Enjoy the pics! Thanks to all of our friends and family for coming, especially those who drove from Wilmington and Raleigh!

These photos are from his actual Birthday. We had dinner at a Mexican restaurant, which Dexter loved because he likes to move to the music. It's so funny! Then he opened a present and ate cake for the first time. It was a bad idea to give him cake at 8:30pm, he was up all night!

Happy First Birthday Dexter!!!!

While I'm waiting for Justin to download and send me Dexter's birthday and birthday party pics I thought I'd post a list of some of the items I've been obsessing over. In no particular order...
