Enchanted Christmas!

Ava was not the only one super excited that this movie came out today! ;)

Caramel Apples! ♥ & baby girls first sweets!

My poor baby girl has never had a single candy, no lollipops, notta. But me & the hubby decided she very much so deserved to try some caramel apple today--it was quite precious how excited she was, lol!

We started it for her and that is her literally like in 'awe' that she gets to have some, lol!

Mmm!

Oh. My. This wine is amazingggg! ♥

Face Behind The Blog.

This. Is. Me. I look so thrilled, huh?! Lol. I almost cropped the camera out, but, I guess it looks more 'me' with the camera in my hand. :) Now, it is off to enjoy lunch with my family! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! ♥

Welcome Home, Daddy! ♥

We greeted him with some cuteness! ♥






Our Homemade Heart Shaped Pizzas! We made our pizza same as usual, but shaped them into adorable hearts to bake! & for a special touch...our local pizza place was kind enough to let me have a couple boxes so it looked cute & legit (after looking at me like a freak when I asked if I could buy some empty boxes, lol)! Then we went & grabbed a cute picnic tablecloth & we were good to go! ♥

Note: Our favorite dough & sauce recipes can be found over at Annie's Eats! I believe she adapted them from Cook's Illustrated...which always has amazing recipes! Find them HERE!

Fun at the Park

On a day like today, these letters were very much appreciated! ♥ I think military wives will always have a love hate relationship with the military. Always. Lol.

Mommy got a little spoiled today. Isn't it a nice feeling when you go out looking for clothes...and you actually find some?! ♥

I told the girls...

I said...okay. I mean, what else would we do?! Lol. Goofy girl. :)

So, here's my girlies, getting their table ready for what they called, Daddy's birthday party.
