I don't know what I would do with out this sweet little girl! She means the world to me. I am amazed sometimes when I sit back and think that I am a Mother and I have a daughter. Theses last nine months with Anna have been hard and wonderful. I truly feel bless that she has come into my life. She is my reason for Mothers day!
My little sweetie looking extra cute on her first Thanksgiving!
Adam had a little incident while playing racketball with his brother and a friend. He got hit in the eye with a racket, creating this lovely black eye. So much for taking a cute family picture! Dang!
A little Daddy Daughter time. Adam sure loves his little girl!
The two party animals. Adam was a vampire and Anna was a princess dragon. I know Anna's costume was a little random, but there is slim pickings on baby costumes. It was either a pumpkin or a dragon. I wanted to feminines it and make her look pretty, so i added the pink bow and pink tutu. Adam and I's costumes were very last minute. The party was at 630pm and I got the costumes at 530pm. I pretty much just got what I could grab. When I brought the vampire cape home Adam told me that he had an extreme fear of vampires as a kid. I thought that was pretty funny since he was now going to be one. At least he got to use his wedding tux a second time!
I was a butterfly, at least I had butterfly wings. I promise to do better next year. I am thinking we should be Snow White (Anna), Cinderella and Prince charming. We will see if it works out. 
These two party animals did the cake walk, went through the hunted house and did some trunk or treating.
Everyone wanted to take candy from this cute baby!
All tired out! It was just too much parting for this little dragon.
I can't remember the last time I had a white Christmas. Snow just makes everything so much more Christmasie.
The drive back to Portland was eventful. We wanted to leave early in the morning the day after Christmas, but the snow did not allow that. My parents live on a pretty steep hill and after we finally got out of the drive way the road was so ice we had to turn back and wait it out. At around noon we made a second attempt at leaving. I am glad we waited, come to find out the passes that we went over were closed and were just opened when got there. 
My Dad cut himself while trying to open a hard plastic casing a gift was in. the scissors he had on his leatherman sliced right through his finger and sprayed blood on him and my Mom who was sitting next to him.
Going down, Dad is not a big fan of blood! So when he saw a considerable amount coming from his finger he knew he better lay down before he fell down.
After losing feeling in his finger and examining the deep cut we though it was best to make a trip to the ER.
The consensus's was, he may or may not regain feeling in his finger, but he was fine. He got a tetanus shot, had the wound cleaned and was sent home with some antibiotics!
I love that the accident description says opening present on 12/25/2007. This was definitely a Christmas to remember. The moral of the story is, don't get to excited and open your gifts to fast, because someone might end up in the ER.
Who knew that spiderman had a musical side? My Nephew Shawn loved his spiderman costume and guitar he got for Christmas!
Let there be singing!
