Meeting New Cousins, Temple Square lights, and Sweet Smiles

Here is some random catch up. My cousin Shelley, who happeneds to be one of my closests friends, had her twins 6 days after Hannah was born! It was so fun to see her and Deven and their sweet little babies over the holidays! We of course had to take a picture of the three babies. We also went up to temple square around Christmas time with some of Eric's family to see the lights. It was fun but VERY crowded! And then I had to add a cute picture of Sweet little Hannah smiling at her Daddy! This is back when she just started smiling. Now she's a pro!

Sadie's first Snowman!

This was taken back at the first of December or so, but this is Sadie's first snowman! This was many days after one of the bigger snows, but as you can see the snow was almost gone. We finally got out just before the snow was melted, which is why our snowman is kind of small. Sadie thought it was great so I guess that is all that matters! We have since made a few more, her favorite of which was the one she got to build with daddy. It was decked out with a hat and scarf and everything!

Is anyone out there?

I have been wondering lately if anyone is still interested in reading or looking at my blog. I know I need to be better about updating regularly but I think I would be more motivated to do so if I knew that people wanted them! If our friends and family want to see more, leave a post! Thanks!

Hannah's Blessing Day

Our Sweet little girl was blessed on Sunday! Eric did a great job and gave her a beautiful blessing! She looked so sweet! We had such great support from friends and family, we took up three benches at church! Sorry to all my ward memebers who had to sit clear in the back. I feel so blessed to be the mother of this sweet little girl! She brings so much joy to our family!

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

Last night we had a fun time going down to the Riverwoods mall for the turning on of the lights and for Santa's arrival! Sadie had some much fun with all her cousins and she was excited to see Santa, but she refused to sit on his lap. They did a really good job on the lights and festivities. Sadie's favorite part was the carriage ride!

I told everyone to look at me for the picture and Mason smiles and puts his arm around Sadie. What a cutie! Already the Ladies man!

Giant nutcracker


This is as close as Sadie would get to Santa. Well Actually we got pretty close, he walked right past us when he was coming in. He waved at Sadie and she buried her head in my shoulder and was clinging for dear life.

I love this picture! My little Sadie is so good at smiling for pictures now! This is while we were on the carriage ride. As you can see it was pure joy!

New Born Pictures

My sister-in-law Jessy did Hannah's newborn pictures and they turned out super cute. I love my sweet little girls!

Tinkerbell

This year Sadie decided she wanted to be tinkerbell. I am not sure where she got this idea but when I asked her why she said, so she can fly. So we went to the Disney store and picked this cute little costume up. She was so excited and wanted to wear it everyday. I thought she made a pretty darn cute tinkerbell!




Every year we go trick or treating at papa's work. These two were ready for naps, but it was fun!

Purdy Family Halloween Party

Every year we get to go to a fun Halloween party at Eric's grandparents house. Grandma D always makes it so fun! She and Grandpa dress up as Vampires and give each kid a bag of candy if they come sit on their laps. Sadie refuses every year! She is terrified of their costumes! This year she started crying and was clinging to Eric so tight. It is so funny! Maybe she'll be brave next year!

Sadie laughs and says "Silly Daddy!" every time she sees this picture

The end result! Pretty cool!

Decorating Cookies

We had Boston come over to frost some Halloween cookies one night and they loved it! They mostly just eat the frosting, as you can see from Boston's face.

I love this picture of Boston! He was excited about something

Hannah's first week

Well we made it through our first week and so far Hannah has been an angel! She is such a sweet little baby and so far the adjustment to two has been pretty smooth. Sadie still has her moments where she doesn't want me to hold Hannah, but I am sure that will continue for some time. For the most part she loves her sister and is always wanting to help take care of her. I love my little girls so much!

Eric and his girls! He loves his little princesses. I thought this was such a sweet moment and had to capture it!

Sweet Hannah. I can't believe she has already been with us a week!

Sadie was so excited to be wearing the same pj's as Hannah. I love how Sadie will smile for pictures now, what a cheese!

Sweet sisters!

Baby Hannah is here!

Our sweet baby Hannah joined our little family on October 5. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long. The delivery was very smooth, and after 10 minutes of pushing she was out! She is such a sweet baby and we love her so much! Sadie was so excited when Hannah came home, but has since had a few melt downs. But with time and a little adjusting I am sure they will be best of friends!
