So Excited...

...for Christmas! 

The past 2 Christmases we were all packed to move. (Yes we have moved a ridiculous number of times) No decorating, no tree. 

This year we've not a move in sight and it's Gemma's first Christmas. I'm going all out. Here are a few of the crafts I'm itching to begin...

Felt Circle Garland

Cute Stockings and Garland

Stuffie Ornaments

Pom Pom Wreath and Garland

Quilled Snowflake

So, day 3 and I already slacked. Does 2 posts in one day make up for missing yesterday? Here goes-

And one just for fun:

How can one person's mind work in such a cute way?

One Month

Little Gemma is one month old today. I can't believe it. Time is flying. She's already having deep thoughts, but don't take my word for it- look at the picture I took of her today:

I believe she is thinking back on the past month and all her firsts... 

Her first time cheering for an Oregon Duck football game on TV:

Her first real bath: (thanks Grandma!)

Her first mohawk: (and last, we hope. Thanks daddy!)

Her first photo shoot: (thanks mommy!)

-she DEFINITELY was worth the wait.
