Mardi Gras

We loaded up and went to Ocean Springs for the weekend and to the mardi gras parade. Elle had fun catching beads at the parade and playing all weekend with her cousin, Caroline!

Valentines Day

We celebrated vday this weekend with just the 3 of us. I came home from my CE conference on Friday to find a clean house, roses, and a gift certificate to the spa! All my fav things! Josh cooked tilapia, mushroom risotto, and herbed ricotta brushetta for dinner and we just hung at the house. Elle discovered strawberry milk and LOVES it. We made cookies and played outside. Great weekend!

"Baby Cake"

We took a trip to Oklahoma City to see my friend Ashley and meet her little girl, Kate. We told Elle where we were going and she called her baby "Cake" instead of Kate. We had fun going to the children's science museum and just letting the girls hang out. We even got to go catch an NBA game and see the Thunder vs. the Knicks. It was awesome!

HO HO HO

We have been super busy lately getting ready for Santa. We went to Jackson last weekend and Elle got a princess kitchen from her Aunt Jenni for Christmas and she loves cooking in her kitchen. She also loves the Christmas tree and has even started hiding my ornaments and opening the gifts underneath it that she is not supposed to. Anytime she sees something that looks like Christmas she says "HO HO HO" soooo cute




Elle did some decorating on Tiger with her sticker book!

Happy Thanksgiving

My parents bought a condo in Ocean Springs, MS so we spent Thanksgiving there and went out fishing in the gulf. We caught some white trout and Elle got to take her first boat ride. She LOVED it and held her hands up in the air like she was riding a roller coaster.
