Recently Enjoyed Christmas Fun!

For the month of December on Friday nights, downtown does a Cornish Christmas where they block off the streets, food and handmade item vendors set up and everyone comes out to enjoy the evening. It can be quite fun but often times it is freezing, over crowded and full of teenagers standing around and blocking the paths.


Sadly Roweyn was pretty fussy, I think she was on the verge of getting a cold. So it wasn't as enjoyable as we hoped but we made the best of it!


The florist shop is kind enough to host Santa, so we took a little stroll over to see him and lucky for us there was no one there. Rowe was attached to me like a starfish on a rock so the only way we could get a photos was if I was holding her. The Santa was pretty boring...he didn't say anything to us and he didn't even look at the camera! 

The next day we went to a birthday party and afterwards we went to pick out our Christmas tree! Last year it was raining so Roweyn and I stayed home, so this year I was pretty excited to be taking Roweyn to see all the trees.

She had a blast running through all the trees and thought it was so fun there little trees just a little taller than her.

Found our tree!

If you want to see more photos from both of these days they will be in the next Roweyn's Ramblings!

Did everyone have a great Thanksgiving? We sure did! If you missed out on the photos and what we did, you can check them all out right here. :)


The day after Thanksgiving I came down with yet another cold, only bummer was that this one turned into a sinus infection. :( But it was straight back to work on Monday while trying to battle it out. Roweyn also turned 23 months over the weekend! Can't believe in a month she will be TWO!

Tuesday the 29th was a special day though; I turned 23! Since I was not feeling good at all, we spent the day relaxing and just enjoying the nice weather. And of course giving kisses! If you missed my 23rd birthday post be sure to check it out. The next day Roweyn let me put a pig tail in for a bit and then made it hard to get any photos! hehe

We spent some more time outside in the nice weather playing in the leaves! Then it was off to babysit baby Henry. Roweyn loves helping me watch him. On Dec. 1st we surprised my sister Tayelor with an early Christmas present. Tickets to the Jingle Ball concert to go see a few different bands along with her favorite singer Selena Gomez. We made a sister date out of it and had a great time! Friday it was back to preschool for Roweyn. I am not too sure what she is doing here! haha

Hope it was a good week for everyone! Can you believe it's December now?!

Thanksgiving 2011!

For the first time in 5 years, we headed up North for Thanksgiving with all our relatives. We don't make it up there often for Holidays because it can be quite stressful having to visit two sides of the family especially in the same day. And driving 6+ hours in the car during the Holidays is not very fun either!


We had a wonderful time though and I'm really glad we were able to share this great family experience with Roweyn.

Normally it can be pretty rainy and foggy there, but Thanksgiving Day was beautiful, so we made the most of it and headed over to the zoo to see all the animals!

 

After the zoo, we headed back to the house for a little rest. Then we were  up and getting ready for two different family dinners that were taking place at the same time. So we headed over to the first house early so we could visit with our 20+ family for a bit, we sat down to an amazing dinner and as soon as we were done eating, we were up and off to the next house. This next dinner was much quieter but still just as good. It was a bit of a hectic night but the important thing was we were able to see all our family, even if it was for a short while.

All in all, we had a great Thanksgiving with family and yummy food. I'm looking forward to next years. I think Roweyn will understand more what is going on and hopefully will be able to really enjoy it!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and good food too!
