Nora's Winter Onederland

Nora's Winter Onederland Birthday went perfectly. I had so much fun planning everything! The colors were white, pink and silver. I made a hot chocolate bar that had a variety of topping. Some of them were: chocolate shavings, crushed peppermint, chocolate mint marshmellows, plan marshmellows, marshmellows topped with peppermint and sprinkles, whipped cream, sprinkles and for the adults we had some baileys and DiSorono! SO GOOD!!! I am thinking that we made have one at Nora's birthday party every year!! We had lots of food and it all went. Nora got lots of great gifts and loves playing with all of them. I think we had over 30 people over to celebrate her big day! My Grandma, Uncle and Cousin also came to celebrate--it was a three hour drive for them and I did not know they were coming. It was a nice surprise. The following are just a few pictures from Nora's Big Day!!!

Here is a balloon wreath that I made from Pinterest. It was so much fun to make, but I never knew how expensive balloons are! There are over 300 balloons on this wreath!

Singing Happy Birthday to Nora. I could not sing, because it made me cry. I cannot believe that my little girl is one and that I no longer have a baby, but an infant.
Family picture. Behind us is our hutch. I put out pictures from each month during her first year so people could see how she has changed.
The Birthday Girl!!!

I am back!!

I am back! The reason I have not posted much lately is that our monitor for Nora blocked my internet connection...well no more! For Christmas Nora (Steve) got me an internet adaptor for my laptop so the monitor no longer blocks the internet!!!
Since my last post we have had a lot of firsts for Nora...Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and being her being away from Steve and I for a week.
Halloween was a blast she was a lady bug and we went Trick-or-Treating. Thanksgiving she gobbled up the food and Christmas she was one spoiled little girl!!! Over the New Year Nora was with my parents. Steve and I went to Mexico for a week and it was so nice. Nora did great being away from us and my parents loved every minute with her and Brody, of course.
Now I am busy planning her Winter Onederland birthday this weekend! Check back for updates and more posts!!!!
