Best Buds

This weekend we celebrated Jordan's 1st birthday! He had a really fun Elmo party and lots of kids to celebrate with him. While looking through some old pictures I came across this one, and I am amazed at how much those two have grown in the past year! They have really become great friends!

Hannah meets Auntie Janis

Earlier this month, Auntie Janis came to visit on her way to a business trip. Hannah loved meeting her and had lots of fun playing. Auntie Janis also brought Hannah a beautiful dress that she can't wait to wear!

Myrtle Beach '07

We spent the past weekend in Myrtle Beach the NC Murphy's! We stayed in a really nice condo, went for a walk on the beach, and ate at some great places. We really enjoyed spending time with the family. The next few posts are pictures from our trip!

Happy Birthday Uncle Tyler!

Last weekend was Uncle Tyler's birthday. Grandaddy, Gigi, and Uncle Eli all came into town to celebrate. Hannah had lots of fun playing with everyone!

Happy Birthday Pops!!

Today is Bob's birthday. Yesterday we celebrated by going to Cracker Barrel for brunch. Hannah got to taste some french toast and pancakes. Pops got a new wrench for his birthday from us!

Champ and Hannah

Hannah loves playing with her dog Champ. Champ is the most patient creature in the world. He allows Hannah to crawl on top of him, to crawl over him, to grab his ears and his tail, and he just lays there. We suspect he likes the extra attention, and he always gets a treat for being so sweet to his sister Hannah! :)

Daddy and Me

Hannah and Daddy love playing chase with each other. Hannah will take off crawling, and Daddy will yell..."I'm going to get you". Hannah will turn around and look at him and then take off crawling as fast as she can. When her Daddy finally catches her she laughs so hard. She loves spending special time with her Dad.

NJ

We spent the 3 days in New Jersy for Hannah's great-grandma's funeral. Although we were in town for a very sad reason, it was so good to spend time with family and friends. Hannah was spoiled rotten by her Nana and her Nanny Crowley.

She also got to hang out with the big girls....cousin Kelly, cousin Julie, and Auntie Erin!!

I can drink from a sippy cup!!

Today Hannah drank some juice out of a sippy cup. Daddy helped Hannah get it positioned and then she took over drinking her juice all by herself. She is getting to be such a big girl these days!!

Auntie Teri and Auntie Heather Visit!

Last night Hannah hung out with her Auntie Teri and her Auntie Heather (who she misses very much and wants to move back so that she can play with her more). They both got Hannah some beautiful presents...Heather got Hannah a growth chart to hang on her wall and Teri got her a Ralph Lauren outfit and 1st Christmas picture ornament.

Our Christmas Trip

This year we traveled on Christmas day to Aunt Libby's house. We later went to Mimi's. The next day we made a journey to MawMaw's house to spend time with her. Hannah got lots of wonderful gifts and loved all the attention she got from her family! We also got to spend time with her buddy Jackson, his parents, and Auntie April and Uncle Walt!! We did lots of traveling in our 4 days from home, but it was well worth it to spend time with the family.

Merry Christmas

This year was Hannah's first Christmas and look at all the wonderful toys Santa, Nana, and Pops brought to her!

No Mommy....I will not take a nap!

Today Jay and I put a very sleepy Hannah into her crib. We went back a few minutes later to check on her and this is what we found....

The Princess Dress

Nanny and PopPop Crowley bought Hannah a beautiful pink dress for Christmas. As soon as she put it on, she was being a ham for the camera. She wore it to church and got lots of compliments. Hannah loved all the attention she got!

Uncle Mike comes to visit!

Hannah got to spend some more time with Uncle Mike this evening. He came over to watch the UA basketball game with Daddy. Hannah and Uncle Mike spent some time hanging out on the couch and watching TV. Look how much she has changed in the last 5 months!

Christmas Angel

My dear friend from work, Hannah's Aunt Betty, bought her a beautiful Christmas dress. We decided to do a little fashion show for Daddy this afternoon in her new dress and new shoes! We got some great pictures!
