The New Year? Already?!

This song makes me think hard about the past year, and makes me think even harder about what resolutions and goals I want to set for the New Year. 

* Getting in Shape (doesn't everyone!?)

* Participate in at least 1 charitable walks/runs a month

* Have more date nights with my husband

* Take at least 2 long weekend family trips

The list could go on and on.... So, I am going to close on this.

This past year has been full of ups and downs, hardships, old and new friendships, becoming a mother and watching my husband be a wonderful father!! I'm not going to lie, this past year has been hard but we have made it through it with the help of a very wonderful support team which includes my family and friends. You know who you are, and I want to thank you so very much for everything! 

Here is to an Amazing New Year!!

Tutu cold.....

It's cold out in the Saint Louis area today,
so we decided to get out this adorable tutu and play inside.

You can find more tutu's & pettiskirts online here.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday weekend!!  

Santa's on his way...

We have had an amazing Christmas Eve,

spent with good friends and family,

and have made memories we will not forget!

The wee little ones are in bed,

and all there is left to do, is for Santa to arrive!

 

 Merry Christmas to ALL, and to ALL a Good Night!

Merry Christmas

from our family to yours

We had a HOOT!!

Our Owl themed Birthday Party!

I wanted to do something unique for Hannah's 10th Birthday Party! I came across these adorable Owl Cupcakes which you can find how to make them here.  We also made the tissue paper pom poms from a tutorial here.  The party went on without a hitch, everyone had a great time and the children loved the desert table! If you have a great Birthday party theme or pictures please send them to me at emeliasboutique@aol.com and be featured on our blog!!!

9 months already.

Happy 9 months old Emelia

I am truly blessed to have such a beautiful, happy and healthy baby girl! (knock on wood)

These past nine months, went by faster than pregnancy did.

In the past month my little lad has begun cutting her molars, standing on her own (for only 5-10 seconds then plopping on her bottom), playing SOO BIG, peekaboo, and patty cake. She is also a speed crawler and even faster when you jokingly say, "I'm gonna getcha!" She gets overly exciting while watching Barney, screaming and flapping her arms.

I can’t believe this sweet little one is already 9 months old-and she’s growing more and more adorable every time I look at her!! I love you so very much Emelia!!!

Happy 9 months Baby Girl!!!
