Happy Turkey Day 2010

I'd like to start with who I'm most thankful for in my life!  This is our little princess in (I think) outfit change #3, possibly 4.  Chloe had an early Christmas from Nana, Big Papa & Aunt Kary!  Chloe is wearing her new princess outfit and looking down at her new puppy in a purse.  Jake now has a playmate - Addison, aka "Addie" or Snowball.

Hors d'oeuvres before the Feast

  The boys & I took a trip to the Little Rock Compassion Center with most of our leftovers.  The only request from Noah & Eli was that next time we make our donations during the day.  The LR Compassion Center isn't in the greatest part of town!

Don't forget Dessert! My fave was Uncle Greg's Chocolate Cheesecake - YUM!

And the winner is...Aunt Joyce's - the first one on the left.  It was my top pick because it had a candy corn tail!

I said I wasn't going to do it...but couldn't resist! This is hanging on Chloe's bedroom door, and was my inspiration for Chloe's Christmas Tree!

And here it is!

The Santa tree topper is my favorite part!

Complete with presents under the tree!

Too Darn Cute!

Mornings are still the best with my girl!  

Chloe loves to "brush" her teeth (she can say brush).

She also LOVES her new shoes from Jillian's mom.  They're way too big, but we haven't been able to get them off all week!

Does life really get any better?  It's just the simple things...and of course, a great pair of shoes!
