Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

I cannot believe Hana's birthday has come and gone along with Thanksgiving and Josh's visit. Time does fly! We had such a good time. Thanksgiving was wonderful. Jennifer, along with the help of Dian and Nana, had her house so warm and welcoming for the family. I must admit that I was not the least bit surprised at how beautiful everything was. I just don't expect anything less from them! LOL It's always so nice to have everyone together under the same roof. Our family is a blast! The food was delicious, as always, and Hana ate lots of everything!

It was hard to take Josh to the airport Saturday, but the silver lining is that he'll be back in a few short weeks and he'll be bringing Angela with him! We can't wait to see her. I hope Josh wasn't too bored. All we did was sit around and watch Hana, but he seemed to enjoy himself. I don't think they get to relax too much out there in Cali. He says Hana walks like John Wayne! That's so funny because it's so true! I can't wait for Ang to see her.

(check out that California tan!)

We sure missed Dad this year too, but we're going to have a small Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner for him in the upcoming weeks. The holidays just aren't the same without him. Mom didn't go home until yesterday. I'm so happy she stayed as long as she did. She got to spend lots of time with Hana Grace and we shopped, shopped and shopped some more. It still wasn't enough though! She also helped me decorate the inside of the house for Christmas. It looks so pretty!

I bought a new tree this year and it is gigantic! I love it!

Josh won't be able to make fun of it this year! (Last year he made fun of my sad little tree...but in my defense I was 9 months pregnant when I put it up and decorated it all by myself!)

Here's the new tree in the window of the new house! I am SO HAPPY to have a place to put the tree so that it's visible from the street!

I also got bit by a tiny little craft bug this year. Here's the wreath I made.

And I also personalized our stockings...

AFTER

Hana and her Daddy are now both a little under the weather. Her Daddy went to the doctor this morning and got some medicine so his should be gone soon, and Hana goes to the doctor Wednesday for her 1-year well visit (I hope she's well for it!) She still has lots of energy and a very good appetite so it seems to be just a runny nose for now (and the snot is clear). She's not sneezing so I don't think it's just allergies this time.
