'doggie' a new favorite word

fun to pull out our sweaters and bundle up

We're back in Phoenix now where it doesn't feel quite as wintery.  It's been 80 degrees!  Sharing a peppermint chocolate chip milkshake

While pulling out decorations I came across one of my favorite Christmas pictures of my sister and I.  It makes me laugh everytime I look at it... poor Molly, always the reindeer!

A lot has changed in a year!  Ivy brings so much joy to our lives and it is so fun to watch her learn and grow.  She has such a sweet little personality.  I cannot believe our baby is ONE! I often wish I could slow or freeze time.  We love you and are so blessed to be your parents - Happy Birthday Ivy Adele :-)
