These our some pics from the night we went out for our anniversary. We went to this awesome Japenese Restaurant and did some "kid-free" shopping it was soo much fun. Now on to year number eight!! oh yeah Jon blinks in every picture with a flash;)

7 years!!! WOW!!!!

Yesterday Jon and I celebrated our seven year anniversary! I can't believe how fast time is flying. We went out to dinner (thanks mom for watching the girls) and went to the mall, we had a great night!! I will post pictures of our night out later today...off to get my haircut!!! Happy Anniversary babe!!! I love you!

Soooo Close!!!

It is Thursday again which means I weigh in...I lost half a pound this week! I know it is a small loss but I am getting down to my final goal so I am really excited!! Hopefully this week before we leave for our "mini family vacation" I can lose two more pounds. I am going to lower my strength training and up my cardio!!!! until it becomes freedom!

Christmas Ornaments!!

I know I have said how much I love Christmas and I thought I would post one of my favorite things about Christmas which is unwrapping the ornaments that Jon and I have gathered in our time together as a family! I took a few shots of my favorite ones :-)

Mine from when I was a little girl:

This is the one I picked this year:

My first ornament when I was preggo with Belle:

This was the one Jon picked last year we couldn't remember why he picked it,

but it makes me laugh whenever I see this big nut on my tree:

From our trip to Florida this year

From our trip to San Fransisco when we lived in California

Our First Christmas (almost seven years ago):My personal favorite this year...it was a wedding gift:

It is Christmas Time in the Taylor House!!

Christmas is my most favorite holiday of the year (with the 4th of July being a close second). I love everything about it the reason, the lights, the smells, the trees, the decorations, the food, the break from life and the family time. I HATE being cold and got pretty spoiled in California, but somehow it is OK around Christmas...I don't mind it so much! This year I let Jon buy whatever tree he wanted and since we have high ceilings he definitely got the biggest he could find. Luckily this year we were putting up a little angel topper Belle made in class and not our normal star or it wouldn't have fit at all:-) We wont go sooo big next year but it was nice to have enough room for all the ornaments this year!!! I tried to put the pics in order of our wonderful night which also included pizza, a warm cozy fire, charlie brown Christmas, while you were sleeping, Christmas vacation and a Christmas carol (last year we hardly watched any of our Christmas movies so we were determined this year!!) Merry Christmas!!!

She's is up and crawling...EVERYWHERE!!
