Our busy January!

Our January was packed with exciting things. One of those being the "Snowpocalypse" that hit Cleveland. 8 inches of snow (most I have ever seen). This snow shut down, and I mean SHUT down the city. Schools were closed Monday-Friday and even Lee was closed for 2 days...which NEVER happened while I was there. I have mixed emotions about being "snowed in". I found out it is not fun at ALL if you are alone. Adam had to go to work everyday so I would gaze outside every now and then and just bundle up on the couch. Made soups and cornbread and all the fun cozy stuff you are suppose to make when its snows! Here is proof of our Blizzard '11 (hehe!)

Brookley Kate's First SNOW at home!

On January 21st we found out what we were having....

Migi, J-pop and Uncle Chad came up for the exciting news and celebration!

What a fun experience. We all stared at the screen trying to guess and figure it out before the tech told us. Mom kept saying "It looks like its a Boy!" "I think it is"....I just kept quiet anxiously waiting to hear!!

And finally I said "ok... you can tell us!" She told us "IT'S A.......

.....GIRL!!!!

And the tears started flowing! :) What a magical moment... A miracle in my tummy...a sweet angel GIRL.. all ours!

Then it was time to celebrate and SHOP! We headed to FoodWorks Riverside downtown Chatt for lunch before shopping for pink.

My bestie Keegan and her husband Robbie (KeKe and Wob) drove up to celebrate with us. It was SO great having them with us!

Our little Brookley Kate.... already so beautiful! :)

After our busy day shopping we came home to prepare for our "Gender Reveal Party". This was such a blast! We invited just a few of our closest friends and ask them to wear "pink or blue" according to their prediction! The party was such a fun time! I can't wait to show pictures to Brookley Kate!

We also had a very special BIRTHDAY in January.... Adam turned 30!

I baked his favorite..Butterfinger Cake!

This cake gets better with age! After it sits in the fridge for a day its soooo gooeey and delicious! Yum!

When he got home from work he opened some gifts and cards and we packed up the cake and luggage and headed to Tuscaloosa for a good 'ole country time!

This is my Aunt's Country get-a-way house... it's in the middle of the country surrounded by woods with a hee-hawing mule that lives across the street :)... and we LOVE to go. It's so peaceful and quiet. Adam wakes up early and gets to hunt out back and we stay in and eat a country breakfast and get ready for the day! We go every chance we get.

Exciting times in the Lewis household right now! Until next time.. I leave you with some shots of my cute valentine's goodies! I just LOVE the colors this time of year!!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! :)
