Crafty!

I'm not sure what it is about Christmas and babies that makes me want to get crafty. I like to make things for gifts, but as most of you know I am not very crafty. I linked to a blog off of Alison's that told how to make the fleece blankets. I also saw that Hancock's had there fleece on sale, so I decided to give it a try. This is what came of it. It is really easy to do and does not take very long to make. I did not realize that fleece was so expensive. It is not that bad if you catch it on sale for half price. I used 1 and 1/2 yards to make the baby blankets. I would use double that if I was making one for myself. I think that is double what Michelle said, but I like mine big! The one on the right is for Alison's baby and I like the other two so much that I am keeping them. I will go back and buy more to make one for Mylie's other cousin that is on the way.

So, Saturday was our anniversary. We went to eat at Fuji's and it was wonderful. We decided against a movie because there was not anything that the either of us really wanted to see. So, we went to Sam's shopping. We got water and some books for Mylie, exciting, I know. It seems that once you get to a certain point in your marriage that it really does not matter what you are doing as long as you do it together.

Today, we went to the Adventure Science Center with some friends. I will defiantly have to take Mylie back when she can walk around and play with all the exhibits. I had a blast. The girls had a blast watching all the other kids play. All the colors and noise really gets them going. The best part was the snow! It is not really good for little ones, so I did not put them in it. It is little plastic like pieces that you put into the snowman's shovel and they blow out the top. The bigger kids had a blast with it. There were 12 kids total with 4 adults! We sure had our hands full. After the ASC we went to Logan's to eat lunch. The mom's had brought their kids lunches and I know that was a relief to the waitress.

Mylie turned 8 months on Saturday as well! The time is flying by. She amazes me everyday. I love her more that I could ever imagine. I am so blessed that I get to stay home with her. I know she will not remember these days together, but I know that I sure will! I cherish every minute with her. We are so lucky to have a healthy family. We just found out that our neighbor's little girl has to have another brain surgery the day after Christmas. This will be her 4th or 5th. She is about 5 months old, and has been in and out of Vanderbilt. The little girls name is Betty, please keep her in your prayers.
