Snow!

Finally snow! I love the look when it first snows, it's just beautiful. We of course had to let Cambree go play in it.

She had her first taste of snow...
 

Not too sure?
 

Tastes pretty good!

And of course Cambree and I built her first snowman. I cannot remember the last time I built a snowman, he's kinda sad looking. I have a hat and scarf for him but I didn't want to go inside to find it. Next time I will have to plan better!

Our Snowman with Miss Cambree..

And of course she had to give him a kiss!

Home Sweet Home!

We LOVE, love, love our new house! Benton and I feel like it was meant to be, everything worked out for us perfectly. We both can see us raising our family in this home which means we can see us living here for a long time. It has felt like home since the first night we slept here. We cannot wait to see what 2012 has in store for us!

We have met about 10 of our neighbors, which is unbelievable for us. I keep feeling like we should pinch ourselves because it is a dream come true. We have never been friends with any neighbors except the Nobles in Illinois, who I miss daily! I think this is going to be a wonderful neighborhood!

We normally are a little faster at putting our stuff away but the trip to the hospital delayed us a couple days. But I can say as of yesterday our house is officially all unpacked and clean! I love being able to relax in our new home.

Our house was built in 1969 but the previous and only owners of the house took really good care of it and did some renovations.

Come take a tour of our new house with me!

Our entry way. I have this pet peeve of wearing shoes in my house. Ever since I had Cambree I've been obsessive about taking our shoes off. I imagine where the shoes have been and then what Cambree is touching and it makes me a little sick. So I got this cute saying off Etsy along with this basket from TJ Maxx, I think it's pretty cute!

Living room upstairs, it will probably be where Cambree plays during the day. I love that she can scatter her toys everywhere.

My favorite part of my house is this kitchen. I have never really had a big kitchen and I am loving the size of our new kitchen. I could sleep on the floor because I love it so much, I spend so much time in the kitchen that I am pleased to be cooking in here!

Also, I have never had so many cupboards in all my life. I love that the drawers in the cupboards pull out, it's amazing!

This is hanging on our closet door, any ideas of what it's for? I'm trying to understand if it's a rack to hang clothes, shoes...what is it?

Master bathroom. After one year of only having one bathroom I am in love that I now have 3 again.

Cambree's bedroom, I still need to finish a couple touches~like adding a rug, but it's still pretty cute!

My second favorite room in my house...the laundry room! Again, we have never owned a house with an actual laundry room. It's amazing, I'm not sure how I survived without it?
 


Built in laundry baskets, such a great idea!

We bought a new TV stand, Benton was done with our other one. He was pretty happy about his find and purchase!

Stats are in!

Cambree went to her 18 month check up this past Wednesday and we got her stats.

She weighs exactly 19 pounds, still in the 0% and is in the 50% for height. Her doctor asked if she was still in a rear facing car seat and I told her I just barley switched her to a front facing car seat and she kinda got upset with me. She said that kids now should be in a rear facing car seat till they were 2. Did anyone else hear the same thing from their pediatrician?

Cambree is loving her new house and is a busy little girl! I had to show these to you guys. She's been brushing her teeth, this is new to us because she has just gotten teeth during the last 3 months. I love when she brushes her own teeth, such a big girl!
