Christmas 2011♥

This year Noah and I went up North to spend Christmas Eve day with the family. We came home that evening to allow Santa to stop by and wake up Christmas morning with Daddy, because he works so hard. Noah and I were able to attend the candle light service at the church before we left, it was what my heart needed. I love this/my family, and I appreciate all of their love in return.

It was my nieces first Christmas, I'm so in love with her. My sister has never looked more beautiful than she did at that moment, with her little family together, she was just glowing(You'll see it in the photos, she just radiates happiness, and that's made everything ok). This was my Grandmas first time meeting Rayne, of course she fell in love with her too. It was such a great Christmas for everyone, my mom even got engaged.

I really enjoy spending time with our family, it's always so much fun to watch the kids and all their excitement. This year has been such an amazing year, I'm really looking forward of whats to come.

Oreo Cookie Cake Pops...

A homemade Oreo cookie cupcake mix turned to amazing cake pops! I had some left over batter from Noah's cupcakes so I baked it into a cake pan, once I crumbled the cake I added more cookie crumbles and frosting, rolled them into balls and dipped them into white chocolate... They were delicious, and Noah had fun helping too.

Noah turns 5!

Noahs 5th Birthday was a day celebrating him, with all the people that love him, and all the people he loves ♥ This year we went with an army theme, camo style. It's always so much fun getting all the kids together ♥

Thanksgiving 2011

What a blessing we we're able to enjoy Thanksgiving with my Mom, her boyfriend, his son, my sisters and my beautiful niece. Thanksgiving every year, Gabe works so we are unable to travel, this year my family traveled to us. I am thankful for many things, but what I am most thankful for is the unconditional love our family holds for one another.

Sticky Buns

Here's what you'll need:


2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 C. syrup
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans (optional)

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired).


Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.

Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, overlapping edges (closely together) to form a ring.

Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures.

Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until golden brown.
