Thanksgiving 2015

I feel like I have so many things this year to be thankful for. A happy healthy rambunctious almost 2-year-old, a wonderful husband, an adorable puppy, a roof to put over my head, food on the table and of course fuzzy socks

We had such a beautiful and stuffed thanksgiving! My sister was here visiting and got to spend the holiday with us, which meant lots and lots of aunt shell time. Steve and I hosted thanksgiving and we all made some delicious food and ate until we basically passed out. It was a wonderful day filled with family and friends, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

C and her bestie being silly on their date last week, we went to color me mine and made plates and cups for cookies and milk with santa! Can't wait to see how they turned out.

A Week Away

Well we are back! We were in TX for a week hanging out with family, celebrating halloween and taking peanut to her first Baylor game. We taught her how to "sic em" with the best of them, and now every time she sees a BU she goes "GO BEARS", yup I'd say we are raising her right. 

It was awesome we had so much fun and I loved watching her play with her cousins. Halloween in particular was a BLAST. She totally understood it this year and would go up to peoples houses and say "or treat" completely omitting the trick part, this girl knew what she wanted. Her costume if you didn't see on Instagram was a HUGE hit and handmade by her grandma, lucky duck and she became obsessed with Monster inc. just in time for the holiday. We also got to meet our new little nephew who is adorable. 

Peanut did really well traveling considering she's been on a plane 22 times, she a trooper. I let her have the iPad this time around and she looked like such a big girl in her own seat eating her snacks and watching a movie. 

She had a hard time adjusting sleep wise this time around, but I enjoyed the extra cuddles that come from sleeping with her. Things are back in full swing before we gear up for the next two trips, yup you read that correctly the next two trips. I have kind of come to terms with the fact that Steve and I are crazy, oh well we are just raising a seasoned traveler.

 She kept running around telling us "I Boo, I Boo mama" My Mother in-law nailed this costume! 

I'll be back with way more blogging soon, until then hope you all had a fantastic halloween. I cent believe Thanksgiving is around the corner. Aunt Shell is coming and Auntie Em and I are cooking I can taste the turkey already its going to be a good one.

Cousins Disneyland Trip

With Mama Mondays being my beginning of the week post, I feel like I haven't shared our weekend updates in a while. I guess I'll have to be better about posting on Sunday evenings. 

Any who, this past weekend was so much fun! My sister was here from tuesday-monday and as always I basically cried when she left, I love having her here so much. Then my sweet cousin Ashley and her daughter came down from the desert to spend the weekend with us and take the girls to Disneyland. 

Did I mention we went in matching shirts? It made the day at Disney that much more memorable.

Love these two cousins once removed lol

We had a blast with them on friday. The girls loved meeting the characters and we even did the character dining experience in the Disneyland hotel for dinner. I had a feeling C would love it and oh boy was I right. She had so much fun and now I'm even more excited for our Disney World trip in February!

She was so excited to have dinner with Minnie Mouse! 

Then on saturday we hit the beach and our little beach baby was right at home. This chick would live at Disney, the beach and pool if we let her. She played in the sand built things with daddy, and ate a sand covered fry until mommy grabbed it and explained how that was "yucky"

Sunday we capped off their visit with a yummy brunch and took it easy for the rest of the day. All and all it was a fabulous weekend! 

XOXO

This weekend brought to you by grandma and papa

We had a blast this weekend which lucky for us went from thursday evening to yesterday night. Grandma and Papa came to visit! It's always to so nice having family here, since we live so far from everyone it truly makes the time we spend together extra special. 

Friday we went to Tanaka Farms and did a watermelon tour, which as you know was on my summer bucket list. For all you local mamas out there looking for something to do with the kiddos this was a fabulous tour. Weekday mid summer and we were only 1 of 3 families. You even get to take home your own watermelon! The peanut had a blast and ate all the fruit and veggie samples along the way. If you follow me on instagram (@bumpsbabesandbellinis) then you saw we went to Stax Cookie bar afterwards and.... yummy! 

"I carried a watermelon" any dirty dancing fans out there! haha

Love this! 

Saturday we fan a few errands and the peanut and I both learned how to sew from grandma. More me then her, but she will benefit in all the cool new skirts mommy can now make her, thanks to grandma. Grandma also made her the most adorable Minnie Mouse bedding for her doll crib, that daddy build her a few months ago. We added a mattress too it as well so she has a easier time reaching in. 

Skirt made by me and grandma! 

Sunday we went to the farmers market and OC fair. First time with the peanut since we didn't venture out over there last year. She had a blast and ate her fair share of fair food. lol She LOVED looking at all the animals, especially the "moos" I think we may have to move to a farm. 

Skirt made by mommy! Custom Minnie Mouse top 

Monday we went out for dim sum and the peanut got to do the carousel and "choo choo" at the mall. Which means mommy will now have a very difficult time shopping in the future. hahaha. Then after a early dinner it was time to drop off grandma and papa.

We are all going though withdrawals already, and are defiantly looking forward to our long trip in October.
