January 12 = Rehearsal Dinner Day

It's rehearsal dinner day!  I didn't get a ton of pictures but here's what I did get.

Malia's excited to get dressed up...

 

Honestly- this was in January and it's now October so... I don't have a ton of insight into these.

Well I do remember that for dessert, two of Liam's groomsmen walked down to Krispy Kreme and brought fresh, hot doughnuts.  It was so very delicious.

January 11 = Rehearsal Dinner Prep Day

Kayleigh and I headed to Raleigh with Mimi & Gramps to "help" set up for the rehearsal dinner.  My cousin, Aaron, watched Liam and Malia for me which was really really awesome.  He hasn't been able to spend a ton of time with them because of us living so far away so the fact that he was willing to do that meant a lot to me!  

And back at home, Rosie and Joey were holding down the fort.

January 10 = Bath Day

Kayleigh loves her baths!

January 9 = Funny Facebook Picture Day (again)

First- here's a baby in a shopping cart :)

And this made me laugh:

January 8 = Girls' Day

I love this quote:

And in honor of this quote- here are my two girls who most certainly will be more than sugar and spice.

January 4 = Birthday Surprise Dinner

Zachary arranged a surprise birthday dinner for me since we'll be back in Rhode Island, isolated from the world, for my birthday.  This is the only picture I have from it... ha.  You'll just have to trust that it was fun!

January 2 = Funny Facebook Post

I read this and busted out laughing.

December 31 = NYE

We went to the Village for dinner tonight- yum!  Kayleigh enjoyed it.

So NYE... party night right?  Zachary laid down with Kayleigh to get her to go to sleep and he fell asleep himself.  So. 

December 28 = Sleepy Day

Look at these sleepies!

December 27 = Gramps Day

These kids love their Gramps!

December 26 = Early Birthday

Oh my goodness- Look at this snuggly baby doll.

Zachary gave me my birthday present early :) It's a beautiful parlor guitar!

December 25 = Kayleigh's First Christmas

Look at these two!

Uncle Matt & Meese took Malia back with them to spend the night- looks like she had a little fun.

December 22 = Barnes & Noble Day

Zachary sent me to Barnes & Noble to get out of the house today- I gathered an assortment of books and sat.  It was incredible.

Then I came home and made this.  Yum.

December 21 = Cookie Day

Praise leggings.

December 19 = Fried Chicken Day

This was in my Real Simple magazine and I just love it:

Also, I made this:

And this made me laugh:

December 18 = Lock Yourself in a Bathroom Day

Here's a screenshot of a text I sent Alexandra... today while I was talking to Liam's physical therapist, he locked himself in the public bathroom.  I was asking him to open it to no avail- we had to find a janitor to unlock the door.  Lord.

Love this:
 

And this:

And here's a picture of a cute baby:

December 16 = Lazy Saturday

Lazy Saturday for everyone- including the animals:

8 days late- better than not at all right?

Precisely:

It's cold!  Here are my girls in hats:

December 14 = Malia Quote Day

This girl still has my blanket...

Also, here's a direct quote from Malia:

"I want my princess shirt.  I need to be cute."

Lord, teach me what to do with a girly girl- I don't feel adequately prepared.

December 13 = Funny Prayer Day

Here's Kayleigh in Daddy's cover:

And under Mommy's blanket:

Also- I made a note on my phone so I'd remember to put this in the blog.  Probably didn't think it would be over 8 months later but hey- this is why I make notes. So here's a convo between me and Malia:
