We have a walker on our hands...4 days before Christmas

So Chloe is WALKING!!!! Here it is 4 day's before Christmas and we have a walker finally.  
She is so proud of herself.  Along with the new adventures of her walking, she is also cutting a whole bunch of teeth.  Chloe is going to have her two front teeth for Christmas (I hope)!!


Today also marks are 1st day of Christmas Break!! Crazy to think that we only have a half a of a year left of school, then summer TIME! 

With the holiday's right around the corner I have to share a yummy recipe I enjoy making.

Life as a toddler!

Boy are we busy!! Chloe is a busy girl. She is always going :) Life is crazy at times but I would not change it for anything.


Chloe has recently decided she is going to walk....well on her terms only!! Stubborn as can be.  She is to funny.  She will wait until we are not looking and stand in the middle of the floor and take a few steps.  Of course when the video camera is not ready or even this momma!!
