...and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care....

So, one of my many Christmas projects this year was making stockings for the girls. I think they turned out pretty well. I also made bead ornaments and blankets and slippers socks. It was a lot of work, but fun.

The perfect tree...

We went to the tree farm and cut down a tree again this year. It was bitter cold, snowy, and windy, but we got a beautiful tree and had some family fun as well. As is our tradition, we went to Random Lake Pizzaria afterwards and ate pizza and played darts. So, here are a few pics.

Some Chloe Pics

Since I didn't post any birthday pics, here are some more recent pictures of Sweet little Chloe.. She has a big bump on her head from falling down the stairs a week ago. :( In the last picture she is walking on her knees. She has starting doing that occasionally.

Chloe's First Birthday

So, our little Chloe turned one on October 28th. We had a little party for her with family and close friends. I made her a pumpkin shaped pumpkin spice cake that said "Happy 1st Birthday little pumpkin". It turned out pretty cute. She wore a litte pumpkin shirt and denim skirt. She was adorable - of course. I wish I had some photos of it to post, but we had dead batteries all over the house, so no pics from my camera. My mom took some. I need to have her email me a few to post.

Anyway.... Our little Chloe is just the sweetest and happiest baby ever. She is always smiley. She even laughs when I clean her ears. She loves her big sisters. They always make her laugh and smile. She calls them both Ella. It is just easier to say. She also says Mama, Dada, bye bye, nigh nigh. She does the signs more and all done. She crawls and climbs all over the place. She also cruises around the furniture and sometimes lets go and stands. No steps yet though.

We love you little Chloe and are soooo thankful for you and your sweet little soul in our family. God bless you with love and happiness and wisdom!
