While I have been away we got some great news. My friend Courtney's son Easton is officially cancer free! His surgery went better then could be expected and he will not need Chemo. PRAISE THE LORD!! They are back home and trying to get back to normal. Thank you to all who prayed for them!
I had a nice birthday, very low key. Mark took a lot of time off that week due to my birthday and the holidays he was actually home with us for 5 days straight. He hasn't been home that long since Eliza was born. For my birthday I got the new iPhone4s and 2 charms for my Pandora bracelet. It is very sweet, Eliza got me a baby shoe charm to always remember that was right when she started to walk, and Mark got me an eternity symbol with my favorite color, purple, stone on it. My friend Samara sent me a gift card to Outback, my absolute favorite, so we went there for dinner!
We had a good Thanksgiving. I was able to go to the football game, unfortunately not a win, then we went to a local restaurant for Thanksgiving Dinner. One of these days we will get back to cooking!
I went out on Black Friday but not until 11am, after an eye Dr appt. I was able to score Eliza a Mini Cooper Power Wheels for $70...what 1 year old doesn't need that for Christmas??

Since then we had our first attempt at homemade Rice Krispy Treats, Eliza enjoyed those and you will see the post for those next week.
Eliza also got to experience her first snow. Obviously it snowed quite a bit when she was first born but we did not let her play in it, I know we suck. I wasn't sure how she would do this winter so I didn't want to buy expensive gear so I got a Circo coat, Columbia snow pants, and Columbia mittens on eBay for $20. That morning we bundled her up and sent her out to play. She was pretty confused but I think she enjoyed it...the whole 5 minutes I allowed her to be out there.
HOPEFULLY we will have my computer up and running again soon so I can get back to my normal posting.
Thanks for catching up with us!
