The 21 days to getting ORGANIZED challenge!

I will be taking The 21 days to getting ORGANIZED challenge! We will be moving soon and i would love to get my house in order and stuff we dont need OUT! I am not really a packrat but i am setimental about things and want to keep somethings that take up space, so hopefully this will help me!

A Perfect Christmas

This Christmas is one to top my list. It was Makenzis 2nd Christmas. Last year she did great with opening gifts but didint understand it, she was only 10 months old. This year i knew she would get it. We usually go home to Oklahoma for Christmas but this year we decided to come back a little early from Oklahoma and have Christmas here in our home.

At my moms we usually have to wait for everyone to get there and that is not what I want Christmas to be to Makenzi. I wanted to start our traditions and her wake up and open her gifts. On Christmas Eve we baked cookies, opened our Christmas jamies and watched Christmas movies all day. It was an amazing day. Christmas morning i woke up early cause i was so excited to see the look on Makenzis face when she saw that Santa had came.

So excited

We were most excited about her BIG gift. We got her this amazing pink wooden Kitchen!
She has spent almost every second at her kitchen since she got to see it.

We all really really LOVE her Kitchen!!!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

a tiny vacation

My little family and I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a trip to our home town. We will be back late next week. Just wanted to give a heads up for the reason of no bloggin. Hopefully i will come back with some fresh ideas! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hair

When Makenzi was born she didnt really have much hair. She did have a good bit in the back and little tiny bit on the top. So ive been really excited for her to finally grow some hair. I was hoping by her 1st birhtday she would have a good bit, but no luck. Now here we are just about 2 months till her 2nd birthday and she is finally getting some good hair!

When she was born

ignore my face, i had a bad reaction to the morphine with my skin.

6 months old

1 year

The day after her 1st birthday, getting some hair!

18 months

FINALLY some thick hair!

now at almost 22 months

I was playing with it the other day and put it in a little hair tie, its so cute!

Made her look alot older!

Here is the back right now

We are getting there! I didnt have hair for the longest time either.

Snow Day

I am a huge fan of snow, I always have been. I was so excited that it snowed on Saturday. More excited that Makenzi could play in it. I knew she would love it and I was right she did. She had a blast in the snow and playing with Copper in the snow. We had a great family afternoon playing in the snow and then came inside to warm up with some hot coco.

Hope everyone is enjoying the weather where you are, we are enjoying ours!
