Family and Friends over the holiday's!!

We were so happy that we got to visit with Uncle Mark and Aunt Jenny. Even though Uncle Mark was not feeling good they still had us over for a visit...what a trooper:-)

Layla opening the gift from Uncle Mark and Aunt Jenny. A Frosty the Snowman ornament and a recorded book of Frosty the Snowman (They of course recorded themselves singing it!!) It was such a thoughtful gift!! When Layla opened it and it started playing it brought tears to my eyes...how lucky we are to have them in Layla's life. It was a very special gift! Layla loves to hear their voices...we open the book just to hear them talk!! Thank you guys...Love you both! 
Uncle Mark, Layla and Aunt Jenny
Layla just gave Uncle Mark a kiss..so cute!
While in Wisconsin, Layla and I went to visit my very good friend Kelly and her 5 month old daughter Madyson. Madyson has grown so much since our last visit when she was only 8 weeks old!! She is so precious...we love her! It was so nice to spend time with them!! We miss them already! Hugs and Kisses!!

Layla opening up the gift from them!! It was a musical alligator that you can stack blocks on!! Layla loves to push it around....she plays with it everyday;-) It was very thoughtful...Thank you guys so much!
Madyson opening our present to her!
We got her a book and Sophie the Giraffe teether. (Layla has one and Loves it..so we had to get Madyson one!)
I think she likes it;-)
Visit with the Courtnage's!
While in town we also got a special visit from my very good friend Katrina, her husband Andrew and their son Grant (2 years old!). It has been over 5 years since we have seen each other. We talk all the time...so it definitely didn't feel that long! It was awesome to see them and get to finally meet Grant...what a cutie he is! He was very gentle with Layla:-) Katrina and I joke around and say that Grant is Layla's future husband...lol!! They brought over a gift for Layla. It was so nice of them. Layla got a singing turtle, a pink cell phone and two toy animals. Thank you guys...it was so thoughtful.  Layla LOVES the cell phone, it is the only toy she cries over if I take it from her!!!! We can't wait for our next visit...which will be soon!! Love You Guys xoxo!
