turning ONE!!! Happy Birthday Natalee!! One year ago today, our lives changed! We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. We celebrated her birthday on Saturday, December 12. We had mostly family & a few friends show up, to help us celebrate. Natalee received lots of nice toys & clothes. Mamaw & Papaw Mitchell gave her a red wagon to ride in. She loves riding in it! When you put her in she doesn't want to get out! She got 2 Christmas dresses, several Christmas movies, some bath toys, brown shoes, brown hooded pea coat, 2 phones, and many many more items. I will post pics of her successful party & of all her goodies later. I will also post pics from her birth & a year later too!
At the moment Natalee is sick. She has RSV, a touch of pneumonia & a severe ear infection! She is feeling better now. We took her to the ER Sunday night and they gave her a rocephin shot. We went back to the doctor yesterday to get her second rocephin shot & she has to go back today to get the third. I pray she is better by Christmas Eve!

What are you thankful for?
We had a great Thanksgiving. Terry had to work, so we celebrated with his family the Saturday before. For lunch on Thursday, Natalee & I went to Deadra's with mom & Callaway. We had a big meal, sat around & talked and enjoyed each other's company. Natalee played with Madison. They chased each other around a wall in the dining room. It was so cute. Too bad Madison lives so far away, I think they would love growing up together! We had supper with granny, as always. Every year she cooks supper and I go to her house around 4 to help her with all the last minute stuff. We had a great time. We drew names for Christmas presents (adults only, we buy for all kids). Of course, as always I drew mom's & Callaway's name...again! Shane traded one with me though so now I have mom's & Henry's.
Friday morning, I was up at 3:00, ready to hit the stores! Debbie & Brandi picked me up about 3:30 & we headed to town. Wal-Mart was the worst experience ever. It has never been as bad as it was this year. It was so unorganized & no one knew where anything was. I just wanted one thing & they sent me to 3 different places for it. First it was in photo...then it was in automotive...then it was in jewelry. They only had 30 of what I needed in jewelry, & luckily I got one! While I was in line however, MY BUGGY GOT STOLEN!!! Good thing I only had a few things in it that they still had in stock! If I would have had something in it that they were out of...someone was going to hear it from me! Boy was I furious! We then went to J C Penney, Walgreens, Bath & Body Works, Freds, Big Lots & The Sweet Pea. We met Mom, Deadra, Dustin, Carol, Madison, Morgan, Kyle & Olivia at Pizza Inn for lunch. Believe it or not, we were the first ones there for the buffet! We then went to The Western Store to find something for Katie Lauren then we went home!! Boy was I glad to be home. I picked up Natalee from granny's & we went to the house & took a 2 hour nap! Terry got home from work about 6:30 & we went to Debbie's to eat with them & her friend Tina & her family. Overall, we had a great day. Good times with friends & family, good food, a nap and got finished with gifts for a few people.
So to answer the question...what am I thankful for? I am thankful for all the wonderful things God has given me. A great family, wonderful friends, a wonderful husband & beautiful daughter. This year, I am also thankful Terry & I both have good jobs! Hope everyone has a safe & blessed holiday season!!!

Cake Smash
Last Tuesday night, we did Natalee's cake smash shoot. I have seen this done & always thought it was a cute idea before the first birthday. I wanted a cute & updated pic for her birthday invites, so I thought this would be a good one. I bought her a small cake at Wal-Mart. I used our brown curtains & an old brown sheet as the backdrop. Brandi & mom came over to help keep her entertained. She really wasn't into doing this but we got a few cute pictures. We got a few of her just in her tutu before we gave her the cake. At first she wasn't sure about the cake. She would only eat it or play in it if someone was holding it up for her. After she got a couple of tastes, she was ready. I don't think we will have a problem at her party next week! Hope you enjoy the pics!
