Catch up

Oh, boy. It's been too long since I posted any news on this blog, and now it's a huge, intimidating project. You remember how it felt when you put off that end-of-semester research paper, and the closer the deadline came, the less you wanted to write it because you knew it would be a ton of work, but the longer you waited the more work it would be? Yeah, it's time for me to bite the bullet and catch up. Prepare yourself for the condensed version of the last three months.

October: Cassie had fun playing in the fall leaves, dressed up as a fairy princess/butterfly for Halloween (just like every other 2-5 year old girl out there), and went trick-or-treating for the first time.
November: Cassie made cheesy faces for the camera and I forgot to take the camera to Oakley for Thanksgiving. Fortunately, Trev's mom took plenty of pictures and will make us a CD (or already has? better look)

December: Christmas! Cassie loved all the Christmas decorations and got excited every time she saw Santa. We put up our first Christmas tree! It felt so Christmas-y leaving on only the white lights on the tree and drinking hot chocolate at night. Cassie loved looking at her reflection in the shiny ornaments, and was pretty good about leaving them on the tree.
Trevor's brother Rialey got married! It was a great day, and so fun to be with the whole family. Cassie loved playing with her cousins and dancing with with Kim's (Rialey's wife) niece.


Trevor and our niece Eliza fell asleep cuddling on the couch. Cute!

We celebrated an early Christmas with Trev's family and Christmas day with mine. Lots of fun for everyone.









We visited with a few friends while they were in town- the Robinsons and the Crocketts. Cassie has very cute potential future boyfriends. :)










We hosted my brother Robert a few times while he finished up business before leaving for an internship in Lima, Peru. Cassie loved playing with uncle "ahpaht."

January: Cassie loves watching videos of Elmo online and was pretty thrilled about her new hat and mittens.
