Lunch Time

Madison woke up from her nap the other day and brought her pig downstairs with her. She would not let me take him from her so she could eat lunch. She insisted that the pig sit in the high chair right next to her. She had her arm around him the whole time she ate lunch. She offered him bites of her food and talked to him as they ejoyed lunch together!

Bake me a Cake!

Her very own cake!

YUMMY!

Madison and I baked a cake together using the cake tins that she plays kitchen with. We wore our matching aprons that we got for Christmas. She got to stir the cake batter and pour in all the ingredients. She helped me pour the batter into her cake tins and we put it in the REAL oven to bake. She was not happy with me when I put it into the oven! She was impatient while it baked, but as you can see she was very happy to eat the miniture cake all by herself.

Congratulations!

Ashley was a beautiful Bride! I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids. It was so nice to see Ashley and Amy, my best friends from high school, and their families. We will be back to Boston soon for Amy and Dan's wedding!!!

First Day of Nursery Sunday, December 15th

Getting ready for my first day of Nursery!

Madison loved nursery! She loved the toys, snacks and songs!

Our Cruise!

We went on a cruise with Hailey and Brandon Dec. 9-14th to Key West and Cozumel. We had a lot of fun! We ate, sun bathed, rode mopeds, snorkeled, got stung by jellyfish, shopped, and ate some more! We went on a Carnival Cruise Ship out of Miami, Florida. The weather was beautiful! It was so fun to spend time with Hailey and Brandon on Vacation! Our parents watched Madison and Connor for us. They had a lot of fun with grandma and grandpa too! Madison wouldn't even come to Brett or I when we first saw her. She only wanted my mom to hold her!

Merry Christmas!

These are our Christmas Card pictures! I got the couch idea from Shonda Barlow Photography. I love her photographs! If I was a better blogger I would know how to link this to her page...but I'm not. Happy Holidays!!!!!

Love, The Hughes
