Thanksgiving 2014


We chanced our first big car trip with Daisy and the CRV, and it did not disappoint! It's a 10-12 hour drive from the Bay up to Corvallis, OR where my Grandparents live. Daisy was a champ at entertaining herself! My brother, Jacob, rode with us on the way there and that was super helpful too.

Daisy had so much fun playing with all of Grandma Adams' toys (especially her pop beads!). I kept myself busy baking with my cousin Alina (6 pies!). Chris entertained himself by teasing Grandpa Adams and taking Daisy back to our hotel for daily naps. Every day it took her less and less time to fall asleep on the car ride to the hotel. Alina and Auntie Bekah were fabulous Daisy entertainers.

Pop beads with Great!


Alina was Daisy's favorite :)

Gettin' comfy watching Signing Time in the morning. Hahaha.

Apple pie in progress!

ALL THE PIES! Pumpkin^2, cherry, salted caramel apple, pecan cobbler, Dutch apple, and blackberry!

Taking Bekah to Ulta for a makeover and makeup buying fun!

So many car naps.
Again, I completely missed all of the important photos like, say, ones of my whole family. Haha. It was really great to be with everyone - we don't all get together often and it's always a blast when we do! I love my cousins, aunts, and uncles. My Dad's family is the best. We're having a full family reunion next month and I can't wait!

Halloween 2014

Daisy is a big fan of Pooh Bear, so we dressed up as characters from the Hundred Acre Wood for Halloween! Chris was Christopher Robin, Daisy was Pooh Bear, and I was Kanga (plus Roo).




I made our costumes for the most part - with the exception of Chris' (thank you, Kohl's clearance!) and the ears for Daisy and I. It was so much fun. I am a big fan of Halloween costumes. Daisy's Pooh Bear is essentially a fuzzy bubble skirt with a modified Wal-Mart t-shirt attached. It was comfy and she loved wearing her "Pooh dress". Mine I made from a vintage maternity dress pattern and a vintage stuffed animal pattern for the Roo head (which is slightly creepy when not attached...but it's Halloween right? haha). It bugs me now that I chose the "wrong" brown for the Kanga costume, and I wish I had gone with something lighter, but hey! It's just a costume. I only wore it once. Haha. 



We didn't take Daisy trick-or-treating this year, but we did go to a couple of fun parties with our little friends :)
