The Gurley's are Blogging Again

I haven't blogged in about 4 months so I have some catching up to do. Well a lot has happened since September. Lilly turned 1!!! It was a great day celebrating with family. Lilly had a blast with the cake and enjoyed all her presents. Can't believe that my baby is 16 months now. Time has just flown by. If only she will slow down just a little bit so we can adjust to her being a toddler and no longer a baby. I remember my mom always telling me, "you will always be my baby." I completely understand that saying now. Thanks mom! Here are some pictures from Lilly's birthday party and 1 year photo session.

Halloween was fun! Lilly didn't really go trick or treating but she enjoyed people watching. We dressed her up as Princess Leia. She didn't enjoy wearing the buns but she kept them on for a couple photos. We also celebrated my mom's well deserved retirement and my dad's and niece's birthdays.

Thanksgiving and Christmas was filled with a lot of family time and we LOVE that. Lilly got to spend time with grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Here are some of my favorite photos from both holidays.

Lilly's shirt says it all. We thankful for a lot but most of all we are thankful for her.

We need to work on our table manners

More Grama

Shortly after the new year we traveled down to Gatesville to Gram and Papa's house. She got to spend time with her great grandparents before they went home to Alabama. Her More Gram and More Papa witnessed her take her first three steps.

Lilly is officially WALKING at 16 months! We are so very proud of her.
