Baby in knitted gifts

November 12, 2013

Remember my post about 5 knitted baby gift ideas? I made sure to get at least one picture of my new nephew wearing his knitted gifts and I think he’s the best model. Also the cutest.

^Wearing his plain black hat with his super tiny legwarmers.

^Hahahahahaha! This face is killing me-it’s so funny! He’s a bit tiny for these mittens now but just wait.

^Auntie Jessica and baby Lincoln cuddling with his baby blanket.

^Lincoln and his daddy in matching knitted hats.

^Baby moccasins on his surprisingly long feet.

I love his tiny face! I can’t wait to make him even more knitted gifts as he grows and I really can’t wait until I’m home next to cuddle with this cutie.

Early thanksgiving

November 11, 2013

While I was home the timing worked out really well to plan early Thanksgiving during my trip. Woo! In years past I’ve not only missed Thanksgiving but my family members would also have an early Thanksgiving where everyone would come up north to my dad’s house in the woods. It was nice spending time with everyone. It was also my new nephew’s first trip away from home. It was exciting having the new family member around. We all wanted to hold him and all he wanted to do was eat. Oh babies.

The company was great and all the food was wonderful. It was a lazy weekend full of laughter (maybe too much since I got a little reprimand from my sister for laughing too loud when she and the baby were trying to get a nap in-whoops-love you sister!) and eating-perfection.

Halloween this year

November 1, 2013

Halloween this year was a little overshadowed by the arrival of my new nephew so we didn’t have any big parties to go to but last night my mom and I decided to dress up and head out to dinner.

Since she is a first time grandma she went as granny smith (apple) and I went as ant Jessica since I’m a first time aunt. Our costumes were a bit thrown together last minute but I think they turned out all right. We had fun laughing at ourselves. We even boogied a little on the dance floor at the restaurant with a few zombies.

I hope you all had a good Halloween! Now it’s time to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping (shudder).
