End of Blogging Season

Hi Loved Ones!  We have reached our blogging goal!  This will be the final post.  As fun as it has been keeping this blog up, it has also been a lot of time and work.  So while we will continue to have adventures, we will no longer be blogging about them.  Thanks so much for following us thus far!  We will keep in touch with you via other modes and we hope you will join us in making future memories! 

Lots of Love,
Talley and Maverick

Christmas Eve and Christmas 2012

We love Jesus and His birthday!  We celebrated Christmas Eve at church and Grandma and Grandpa O's house in Galena, and we celebrated Christmas morning at our house.  We were joyfully overwhelmed by all the love and presents showered upon us. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas too. 

 

Christmas Delight Rolls!

Talley's Hair Cut

I decided to cut my own hair.  Seemed easy enough.  I thought I did a pretty good job.  Mommy didn't seem super impressed, though. I guess I better leave it to the professionals next time.  :/

Mav's BDay Party

We had a big ole crazy monkey themed party for my second birthday!  It was loads of fun.  Here are some party pics of family and me.  

This lil monkey was pretty excited about the banana cake Mommy made.

Being one was fun, but I think two is off to a great start!  Looking forward to all the things I can do now that I'm two!

Decorating the Christmas Tree 2012

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!" - Buddy the Elf

To spread some Christmas cheer this year, we went with MOMS Club to sing Christmas carols at a local senior home.  They were so happy to see us and it was fun to brighten their day.  

Talley's Christmas Program

Talley had a Christmas Program for her pre-school.  It was super cute!  The family and I went to cheer her on.  Here are some pics before and after the show.  If you're interested, Mommy and Daddy may have some video footage of the actual show.  :)

Christmas Princess Tea

Mommy and I went to a cute Christmas Princess Tea in town!  It was very fancy and fun.  Here is a pic of me with Princess Belle!

P.S.  Sorry Mav! This was girls only.  Daddy owes you a trip to Home Depot!

Christmas Tree Hunting 2012

We went on an adventure in the forest to go find a Christmas tree!  We hiked about and searched until we found the best one.  Then we had a little picnic in the forest.  Here are some pics from our hunting expedition:

We love the fresh Christmas tree smell!  Can't wait to get home and decorate!
