Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice....

Baby Madeline is on her way so it's time to celebrate! We threw a little baby shower for my sister, Mary Leigh, who is expecting her first girl! We're all thrilled, including Alexander (Madeline's soon-to-be big brother). He initially was disappointed that he wouldn't have a baby brother, but has definitely warmed up to the idea of having a baby sister. As Mary Leigh opened her gifts he "oohed" and "awed" at all the adorable outfits and accessories. We held her shower at the Beehive Tea Room (I think we're there at least once a month, we love it though). It was such a fun afternoon party! I can't wait to meet Madeline!

Holiday Photos 2009

Birthday Fun...

I had a great birthday...can't believe I'm 26 though. Jared did so many sweet things for me. I was definitely spoiled. We ate breakfast at Carlucci's and then went to the Gateway where Jared surprised me with a little shopping spree. Afterwards, we went to Mini's and got cupcakes. And then to top off the day, we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. I definitely exceeded my daily caloric intake needs...it was worth it though.

Jared made this jewelry holder for me out of old metal hangers...I love it!
