homemade gifts

I spent most of Sunday and Monday making these cute hats for my nieces! I can't wait to see a picture of the girls wearing them!

our weekend

I have some blog updating to do...
First, on Friday night Matt and I put up our tree


then we watched Love Actually...we got it our first christmas together and it's become a tradition ever since.

and on Saturday we headed to the park with Myka...she loved her first ride in a swing!

a little christmas blog cheer...

and an exciting post coming later tonight! stay tuned.

also...i read today that Myka's eye color should be pretty much set (although it could technically always change) but i think we have a blue eyed cutie! who would have guessed??

new hat for myka

so i wanted to know if i could still crochet...i bought a new needle and tried...i think it turned out pretty cute!

you know you're a mom when...

you find cheerios in your bra at the end of the day. awesome.
