Merry Christmas-Zuri's 1st Christmas

I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas. Zuri was so much fun. When she woke up and saw the toys under the tree she was wide open for the rest of the day. It was like she knew it was a special day. She barely had a nap that day and didn't want to crash that night.


Our Christmas actually started on Christmas Eve, when we had Christmas with Tyler's side of the family. It took Zuri a while to open up but when she did she had a blast. Her cousin Addison got a slide for Christmas...Zuri loved it...I guess we know what she is getting for her birthday :)


Christmas morning we had Christmas together. Zuri played with her toys and Tyler cooked breakfast. Then we went over to Nana K's and Papa's house to have Christmas again.

Zuri got loads of clothes and more toys than she can play with...thank goodness we have the playroom.

Zuri watched Addison for a while and then decided to join inMy little monkey!

Santa was good to Zuri

Happy Birthday Blakely

Zuri had so much fun celebrating her friend Blakely's 1st birthday. The theme was Mickey Mouse (Blakely and Zuri's favorite show to watch during the day). Blakely looked so cute with her Minnie Mouse shirt and bow. Zuri enjoyed pizza and cake and she even wore her Mickey ears. I am so glad Delana is able to keep Zuri during the day and that Zuri has Blakely to grow up with.

What I can't believe is these babies are 1!!!

The Best Husband Ever

I have the very best husband ever.! My sweet hubby surprised me with these pictures today. As most of you know we took sunflower pictures at the end of the summer with plans to hang them on our big empty wall. It has taken us forever to get them up because we didn't have frames...thanks to mom we got frames for an early Christmas present. Next was to actually get the pictures printed and then finally hung. Well...when I came home from work today this was what I saw. Tyler spent part of the day preparing this for me. I was honestly speechless.

Thanks Tyler...I love you more than you'll ever know.

Yum Mom! I love the Dinner

Zuri really enjoyed her dinner the other night. We had bean and beef skillet...Tyler's favorite and evidentally Zuri's too. Needless to say we hit the tub right after dinner.

Merry Christmas

Zuri's First Christmas Tree Zuri got an early Christmas present...her baby stroller, so she could practice her walking (I know- what am I thinking...I must be crazy wanting her to walk). She seems to be the only one around not walking yet...I think it's because her feet are too small. We are still in a size 1...barely a 2. However, she loves pushing her baby around.

Zuri loves to 'love' on things. This is her first Christmas doll.

Zuri went to meet Santa today, so we took a few pictures in front of the tree before we left.

She did so good with Santa. She did not shed a tear. She laughed and smiled; she even tried to pull his beard. She was wonderful. I am so proud of her. I love her so much. I am so thankful and blessed to have her here this Christmas.

Merry Christmas to All.
