3rd Birthday Celebrations

Calleigh had such an amazing day for her 3rd birthday. She got up early and saw her my little pony scene up on the wall and was excited straight away. Then came the presents- which she took ages opening as she wanted to play with each and every one as she opened them!

After all the presents had been opened we went to pick up the cake and did a little Black Friday shopping before heading back for Calleigh to blow out her candles and have some cake.

Tomorrow she has been invited to her best friends birthday party and she is so excited. Her best friend happens to be born on the same day as Calleigh- they are like two peas in a pod and are always together at daycare.

Here are a few photos from Calleigh's day!

The First Snow

So winter has arrived here in Missouri and we had our first snow! It was only one day we had the snow but the cold temperatures lasted a while and since then temperatures have been up and down like crazy- pretty typical for Missouri really from what I hear.

Of course I had to let Calleigh have a play in the snow, she was excited watching it fall all day and we had a great time building a snowman and having a snowball fight.

Best thing about having a snowball fight with a toddler- they can't throw haha!

Afterwards I brought her inside and gave her a nice warm chocolate drink (hot chocolate that wasn't hot haha) with cream and sprinkles!

I'm assuming this will be the first of many snow posts as winter goes on :-)

Outfit of the Month: November

Jumper- Next

This month's outfit is her new Christmas Jumper, It's so cute. I figured since it snowed the other day it was the perfect time to bring out the Christmas jumper!!

Getting Back on Track

Things have been a bit crazy over here in the last couple of weeks and once again my little blog has been feeling a little neglected. Just to catch you all up and offer a bit of an explanation I thought I would share a bit of what has been going on these past couple of weeks.

Of course first off my mother is over visiting us again so we have been spending quality time with her and going out and about quite a bit. It is also November which is Calleigh's birthday month so we have been shopping, wrapping and organising birthday celebrations. Christmas is also just around the corner so that meant more shopping and wrapping as I wanted to get a good head start as we may not have much time leading up to Christmas.

With that being said it leads us to the next couple of big things that have been happening. We have found ourselves a little house we like and have been (and still are) in the process of securing it and sorting out all of the painstaking tasks involved in buying a house- obviously made even more of a difficult job thanks to the fact that we are not American and have not been here 2 years yet. But we are getting there slowly.

And the second thing is that I have finally found myself some seasonal work :-)

Aside from all of that we have been enjoying quiet nights and I have really neglected my camera, which I hate because I love taking photo's of Calleigh so much and it pains me that I don't have hundreds of photo's of her to share with you!

But alas there are some- so here is a little bit of what we have been up too told in photo's!
