Spencer is 1!

It has been a while since I have posted anything so I will try to give you a good update. November was a busy month. Mid Novemeber Spencer and I went to Spokane for five days. We had a wonderful time and got to see many friends. For Thanksgiving all three of us went to my parents house. Jared watched Spencer for a lot of hours while I went shopping with My Mom and sisters, Chelsey and Emily. That was pretty nice. The Saturday after Thanksgiving Spencer started walking!!! He is doing a great job and improving everyday. On Saturday we went to our church Christmas Party. Spencer walked to the front of the room right as a speaker ended. Everyone started clapping and Spencer thought they were clapping for him. He turned around towards the audience and put his hands in the air. It was so so cute. On Sunday Spencer turned 1! I can't believe it has already been a year since he was born. My parents came to celebrate with us on Saturday and then we had a little party with Jared's family on Sunday. It was a fun weekend. Spencer has brought so much joy to our family. I love watching him learn and grow and I am so grateful to be his Mom. Here are some pictures from the last month.

Spencer's Birthday Party. He got his very own cupcake.


Spencer got a Mickey Mouse doll for his birthday. He loves it and gives it lots of hugs!



We tried to get Spencer's picture taken with Santa but all Spencer would do was scream in terror. Santa had me sit on his lap in an attempt to make things better but as you can see that didn't help.

Here is a picture from Saturday's birthday with my parents and Aunty Em and Aunty Tess.


This is the Sixth Christmas we have been married and I have never really decorated because I always had finals right before Christmas and last year we had Spencer right before Christmas. I was determined to do more to celebrate this year so I sewed Christmas stockings for us. It was an enjoyable project.
