Christmas came early for all of us who wanted a white Christmas! Snow began to fall early Friday afternoon and did not let up into late into the night and into Saturday morning. By the time we woke up, we had about 6 inches of snow to play in! We got Hannah all bundled up in her makeshift snow suit(do the stores in the south even carry snowsuits?) and we went out to have fun in the snow! She had a blast making and throwing snowballs at Daddy mostly, but also chasing Jasmine around in the snow..... what a fun start to our Christmas holiday!

Parent's Day at Gymnastics!

Tumblebees held parents week at gymnastics and dance this week. Here are some photos from that day!

Christmas is Coming, the Goose is getting fat.............

The Holiday season has arrived! We are so excited about Christmas and Hannukkah this year! We have so much to be thankful for and can not wait for all the fun and festivities that this time of year brings. Hope you all enjoy our photos. Hannah visited Santa and told him what she wants for Christmas....we put up our tree and had a blast decorating it as a family, and this weekend we will be celebrating the start of Hannukkah! Potato Latkes here we come :)

Thankful

I stole this idea from Joanna..

With Thanksgiving approaching, here are 20 things that I am thankful for

1. For my daughter.....she makes me a better person and a better mother... she always knows how to make me smile and can make a bad day turn into a great day just by seeing her beautiful face and hearing her say"Mommy I love you" or "Mommy I missed you today"

2. For my family and friends, and those friends who are considered "family"-My life would not be complete without them and their support...you all know who you are

3. My husband- just for being who he is..he supports us financially and emotionally and works so hard so I can still be a stay at home mom to Hannah

4. my mom- just for being my mom

5. For the opportunity to go back and get my education. I am so proud of myself, as difficult and challenging it is, I am so grateful for this opportunity

6. To be an American-and all the privledges that come with it... never take them for granted

7. For Ros and Jerry- for providing Hannah with opportunities that we could not give her right now due to living on one salary. I am forever grateful and love you both

8. For Hannah's teachers, Janet and Vickie- You are helping us to instill wonderful values in her, and have become such an important part of her life

9. For my health and the health of my family

10. My slanket... yes you all can laugh, but its one of the greatest inventions and most comforting

11. My home-So many people don't have one

12. My strength- God has graced me with a strength that I didnt know I had.. it helps me get through each day

13. For Starbucks... caramel macchiatos, pumpkin spice lattes, gingerbread lattes, starbucks double shot.. the list goes on..

14. My husband's cooking and baking

15. our Military... and the freedom they fight so hard to provide to our country

16. Philosophy products

17. For comfort food on a cold winter day

18. For being able to spend the holidays with the people I love

19. For slatkin candles

20. For quiet dinners as a family, especially on Friday nights and our newly started"family movie night"... then is when wonderful memories are made

New pics

We took Hannah to have her pictures done for her birthday. Hope everyone enjoys!

Pumpkin time!

Well i think its safe to say that fall is FINALLY here... the temperatures have dropped, its jacket time, there is a crispness in the air, and the pumpkin patch is finally open! We took Hannah this weekend to the Kersey valley patch here in High point. It was such a fun family outing. Hannah had so much fun and got to choose a pumpkin to take home

Happy 3rd Birthday Hannah!

Ready for her party :)

Wow my baby will be 3 tomorrow.. i sit back and wonder where the last 3 years have gone. Time has flown, but we are more blessed today than we have ever thought possible. Hannah enjoyed her Tinkerbell party this past Saturday. She played with all her friends and had so much fun. Here are some pictures of the days festivities!

Tuesdays are for TUMBLING!

Tuesdays are for Tumbling... that is for sure... our little monkey has been having so much fun in gymnastics this year and I just happened to bring my camera one day and snap some cute ones of her. She got a new leotard for her birthday and was showing it off

High Holidays

Well its that time of year. We have been so busy. I dont know what it is about the fall, but our schedules always seem to be slammed full.....September has been a very busy month for us. We managed to stop for a family shot on Yom Kippur before heading to the family service. It was a beautiful, sunny day. Check back soon for some more updates on the Yaravitz family!

Hannah started a new chapter in her life today. First day of preschool! She was very excited to go. Drop off was a little rough for both Hannah and mommy, but we made it through and she had a great time on her first day. Mommy and Daddy even got a little time to go and get some coffee this morning! Lets hope for continued success throughout this year
