Christmas Cards-Thanks Shutterfly

Every year I begin designing our family Christmas card in my head before I ever pick out the card. We have a lot of friends and family that live out of town, who we rarely see; so our Christmas card gives them an update of how our lives have been throughout the year. A few weeks ago I received a Shutterfly 'flier' in the mail and fell in love with their cards. I knew I would be using them this year to share Christmas with our friends and families. The problem is...which one will I choose. I can choose from:
Holiday cards---http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards
Photo cards--http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery

Or even order gifts for grandparents---http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/5x7-folded-greeting-cards

I can't wait to pick out our Christmas cards and to share them with the people we love.

Halloween Trick or Treating

We had such a wonderful Halloween. We went Trick-or-Treating with some great friends. As you can see Zuri was the only girl...as always, but she hangs just fine with her buddies. We actually went house to house Trick-or-Treating. I haven't done that since I was a little girl. It was so precious to watch Zuri go up to the door and say "chick cheet" and "chank you". She is such a big girl.

Potty Training.

Ok, so I don't have pictures to share, but just a little update on how we are doing. About a month ago Zuri started randomly telling us she needed to potty, so we would take her...not pushing potty training at all. About 2 weeks ago we were home almost all day Saturday and Sunday and she told us bothdays. Even though she wore a diaper she stayed dry...so we thought Hmmm...maybe she is ready. Thanks to our wonderful babysitter she agreed we should start working on it. Zuri has now been in her big girl undies for 2 weeks all day (except at nap and bedtime). She tells us almost every time she needs to go (sometimes she goes because we ask). She is even getting better about telling Delana. We can even go on outtings in big girl undies and she will hold it or tell us. I am so proud of her and hope we are on our way to being completely potty trained. Yay!!

Beach 2010 Continued

Zuri didn't like to sleep while we are at the beach. So on this morning she was up with Nana K and Papa waiting on the big red ball.




We had so much fun visiting with our good friends Brooke and Walker. The kids had a blast playing in the sand...when they weren't eating. Then we went up to show Walker the pool. We are so glad we were able to see them on our trip.





More Beach Fun...

Beach 2010

We had sooooo much fun a the beach. Zuri was a blast. She woke up every morning by 5...yes I said 5 and was ready to go. She would point to the balcony and say 'go' 'beach'. She played in the sand, ran from the water, and loved the kiddy pool at the condo. I guess that is why she was up and ready to go at 5. She had wonderful naps on the beach on Nana K, and I am sure Nana loved it too. Here are a few pictures of Zu-bug having a blast at the beach. I will post more once I get them from mom.

Enjoy!

Family Day

Since we didn't get to do much for my birthday, seeing that it was on a Monday and Tyler was slammed at work...we decided to spend the entire Saturday together. We went to the Greenville Zoo and to downtown Greenville. We got ice cream and walked around Falls Park. It was so much fun, we rarely get whole days together like that. At the zoo, Zuri loved the animals, but she loved the playground even more. She was such a big girl. There wasn't one thing on the playground, that she didn't think she could do.

First Days Back to Delana's

I think Zuri and Blakely missed each other.
