&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Polka Dot dog bed.&amp;nbsp; Apparently it's too big for him because he has grown and look how tiny he looks on it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rP1ZR6xee04/Tx19VKMNg2I/AAAAAAAAFoE/E4wIbnJXeUE/s1600/sc2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rP1ZR6xee04/Tx19VKMNg2I/AAAAAAAAFoE/E4wIbnJXeUE/s320/sc2.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Someone (I'm not naming names...COUGH Adam) gave him a pillow and a throw off the sofa. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SC1_GQ1RvwM/Tx1-w72mYJI/AAAAAAAAFpU/jNH6Ml7cJOQ/s1600/sc6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SC1_GQ1RvwM/Tx1-w72mYJI/AAAAAAAAFpU/jNH6Ml7cJOQ/s320/sc6.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;He loves it. I'm glad he's cozy. I'm not glad my husband gave him my favorite chenille throw and that now I freeze while watching TV. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S6xoD__7fNw/Tx19TAYWexI/AAAAAAAAFn8/mIPEM6d1c4U/s1600/sc.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S6xoD__7fNw/Tx19TAYWexI/AAAAAAAAFn8/mIPEM6d1c4U/s320/sc.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYkA9e-nRxU/Tx19WWQwXaI/AAAAAAAAFoM/BG1gqSyUObI/s1600/sc3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;We bought him two really nice plush, squeaky dog toys.&amp;nbsp; One is a chipmunk that we now call "Chippy". Scout lives and dies for Chippy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYkA9e-nRxU/Tx19WWQwXaI/AAAAAAAAFoM/BG1gqSyUObI/s1600/sc3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYkA9e-nRxU/Tx19WWQwXaI/AAAAAAAAFoM/BG1gqSyUObI/s400/sc3.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Last week Scout made the grave mistake of chewing up not one, but three of Aidan's toy horses (Aidan wasn't happy) and well let's just say R.I.P. Chippy.&amp;nbsp; Or one of his legs anyways.&amp;nbsp; This is Scout after Chippy was returned missing an extremity.&amp;nbsp; He's so upset. Aidan said "that will teach him!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MjbACdYZ_c/Tx19Z_MVIjI/AAAAAAAAFoc/a-3L-Foc7BY/s1600/sc5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MjbACdYZ_c/Tx19Z_MVIjI/AAAAAAAAFoc/a-3L-Foc7BY/s400/sc5.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYkA9e-nRxU/Tx19WWQwXaI/AAAAAAAAFoM/BG1gqSyUObI/s1600/sc3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;A quick pic of the boys around here.&amp;nbsp; Aidan insisted on having those Christmas tree boxers from JCrew kids. They are like 5 sizes to big but he &lt;strike&gt;sags&lt;/strike&gt; wears them to bed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9yvwkRGjRuw/Tx19X2RgMxI/AAAAAAAAFoU/sAF6mV6x0ZA/s1600/sc4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9yvwkRGjRuw/Tx19X2RgMxI/AAAAAAAAFoU/sAF6mV6x0ZA/s400/sc4.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sYkA9e-nRxU/Tx19WWQwXaI/AAAAAAAAFoM/BG1gqSyUObI/s1600/sc3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;So anyways, I think Scout is mostly happy here. With the exception of "the Chippy incident".&amp;nbsp; Thankfully he has a squirrel all in one piece that he new tosses in the air and catches.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Does everyone say "my dog is just so smart?"

I don't really mind because I get to spend my time cuddled up with Aidan on the sofa watching &lt;strike&gt;daytime TV&lt;/strike&gt; movies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day last week he had a bad case of cabin fever so I dressed him in his rain gear and sent him out in the rain!&amp;nbsp; I think he thought I was loosing my mind letting him get wet AND dirty.&amp;nbsp; I of course stayed inside in took pictures through our glass door.&amp;nbsp; He had a great time!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was thrilled when he got home that he had jumped in the puddle in our bark mulch until it was all over the side walk.&amp;nbsp; Ha!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I purchased some inexpensive seats in the upper level (that ended up being front row and PERFECT), a couple pairs of ear plugs upon recommendation of everyone I spoke to and we were set! We definitely stuck out like sore thumbs. Aidan in his button down and sweater and I with my trouser jeans and Louis Vuitton bag. Somewhere in the fine print we missed the "wear camo anything" bit.  We tried to blend a little better by purchasing all the Grave Digger paraphernalia we could get our hands on during intermission. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was definitely an experience. One that was on my list of things I &lt;strike&gt;never wanted to do&lt;/strike&gt; should do once. Aidan and I were both a little out of our element at first but they started speaking our language via four wheel racing and there was no turning back. We may have even cheered Grave Digger on until our throats hurt.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Saturday morning the four of us (we even brought Scout)&amp;nbsp; hopped in the car and headed up there for the night.&amp;nbsp; We had a great dinner downtown and walked around and grabbed some ice cream.&amp;nbsp; Sunday we laid around before getting motivated to do some shopping in the afternoon.&amp;nbsp; It was just what we needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I brought my camera but I didn't remove it from the bag.&amp;nbsp; The only snapshots I&amp;nbsp; have are a few of Aidan chasing Scout around and this one of my hubby. I love the sunlight. And his squinty eyes. &lt;br /&gt;

I wanted something that looked semi traditional and all Adam cared about was "could he nap on it comfortably". We decided on the Pottery Barn Slipcovered Comfort Roll Grand Sofa in the Light Camel Washed Linen fabric.&amp;nbsp; That's a mouthful huh? On Monday morning it was delivered while I was at work and&amp;nbsp;I couldn't wait to see it! I love it.&amp;nbsp; It's exactly what I was looking for. The color is perfect.&amp;nbsp; All three of us fit on it. The seat is deep and it's nice to have a sofa with an arm after having an armless sectional for so long! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is our third sofa since moving in here 6 years ago...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7UbBemfdqaQ/Tw-sRoEbmYI/AAAAAAAAFiE/nltZ1td-XUc/s1600/18279253255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="424" kba="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7UbBemfdqaQ/Tw-sRoEbmYI/AAAAAAAAFiE/nltZ1td-XUc/s640/18279253255.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I added new drapes and that furry rug came from Ikea. I wanted to add some texture to the room and keep our toes warm during the winter months.&amp;nbsp; The bouquet on the coffee table I threw together with a piece of pottery from TJ Maxx and $30 worth of Hobby Lobby florals.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm loving it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6518057497956076644-2502159873278901619?l=adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I end up forgetting them, then remembering them and then I'm disappointed I didn't keep them. So that's that. I did make a promise to myself I would slow down and spend more time doing what Aidan wants to do and making time for our friends. I spent a lot of time blogging last year about being really busy and now I'm going to take that time and put it into my relationships. If my friends haven't forgotten me! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is what leads me to writing my favorite posts of 2011 two weeks in to the New Year instead of doing it before like usual. I've been enjoying the Kid and something just told me you were not sitting around waiting on this post! :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
August- I turned 28! And my family spoiled me! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com/2011/08/its-my-28th-year.html"&gt;28!!!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com/2011/08/birthday-weekend-re-cap.html"&gt;28 and Spoiled&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
September- We camped. AND I made it out alive. I think I might have accidentally even liked it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com/2011/09/we-survived.html"&gt;Camping Trip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
October- I successfully pulled off a SURPRISE party for my hubby AND a week later we celebrated 4 years of marriage. October was really good to me. &lt;br /&gt;

November- My trip to Boston to see my girlfriend Mare and wedding dress shop! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com/2011/11/weekend-in-boston.html"&gt;Mariann is getting MARRIED!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
December- We produced our best Christmas card to date (that's an opinion not a fact). I decided Scout gets to stay! &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I am so excited to finally have finished our Disney video.&amp;nbsp; It was my first time ever using iMovie on our iPad and I love it but holy smokes was this thing a labor of love. For about 8 minutes of Disney pics and video clips.&amp;nbsp; The music that is with it was not the music I selected but it literally took about two hours to upload to YouTube so it's staying the way it is!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;We had such a wonderful trip. We left Charlotte when I got out of work on Friday and Adam was sweet enough to drive the entire way! We got to our resort around 12:30 and were up the next morning at 6:30 to eat breakfast and head to the Magic Kingdom! There were rumors that the park had been reaching capacity with all the holiday traffic and we didn't want to miss the New Year's fireworks so we were in the park by 8:30 and they closed the gates at 10 when they reached capacity.&amp;nbsp; It was a long first day but Aidan was such a trooper and it flew by.&amp;nbsp; We stayed in the park until 2:30a.m.!!!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Our second&amp;nbsp;day looked very similar.&amp;nbsp; We slept in a little bit longer and hit the Animal Kingdom first thing.&amp;nbsp; We had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe (the food was seriously some of the worst I've ever had, but it was so cool on the inside!) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;We spent the early evening back in the Magic Kingdom and then headed to the Contemporary Hotel for a character dinner. Aidan has not stopped talking about meeting Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck.  Aidan had napped in our stroller for a bit prior to dinner so we took advantage of the park being open until 3am for resort guests.  It was like having the park to ourselves.  &lt;br /&gt;
Monday, we decided we would spend the day at Epcot.  Well so did the rest of the world.  The lines to eat were out of control.  There is really very few rides in Epcot but we managed to get on the Norweigen boat ride with little wait time.  We walked the whole loop and checked out all the countries.  Then we headed back to where else? The Magic Kingdom.  We had dinner at the restaurant modeled after the Italian one in Lady and The Tramp, watched the nightly fireworks and rode our favorite rides a few more times before calling it a night! &lt;br /&gt;
Our trip had come to an end! Aidan threw up the entire 9 hour ride home. Adam and I were feeling guilty that it was probably from exhaustion but he took it like a champ and slept most of the time. The second we pulled in to town he wanted to see his Grandparents to tell them all about his trip.  I think it was to show off his new pirate hat, two pirate guns, pirate sword, two set of pirate hand cuffs, three Mickey tshirts, Mickey Snuggie, stuffed Donald Duck, special edition knit Mickey Mouse, autograph book, matching Disney Pen, monogrammed Mickey ears and the 25 photos he begged me to take of he and Minnie.  Adam never made it to Disney as a kid so he was making up for it by buying Aidan everything he touched.  You only live once right? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few things I learned for next time (if we get that brave again):&lt;br /&gt;
Bring your own stroller. Yes, the convenience of renting one is nice and we did the first day but they are the most uncomfortable things for your child! We brought our Bob Jogger and it was perfect. &lt;br /&gt;
Pack snacks. I just wasn't in the mood to deal with it this time but you are allowed to bring your own food/drink in.  We brought water bottles but that was it. It still saved us a ton of money! &lt;br /&gt;
Always pack for warm and cold weather. The first two days it was almost 80 and the last day it was barely 55! Luckily we brought coats but people were freezing. They still got in the pool though! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had so much fun! I couldn't imagine taking Aidan any younger than he is.  He just wouldn't have understood the whole Disney experience. He probably won't remember this trip in ten years but taking him any earlier I think would have been to appease us.  I think it's too much for little, little kids. Anyways, I hope you love the video and if anyone has great Disney tips send them my way for the future! Xo&lt;br /&gt;

I get so excited when people find good stuff and let me know about it so I figured I would let you all in on my secrets. Most of them you probably know about but just in case...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://aussie.com/en_US/aussome-volume"&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Aussome Volume Shampoo/Conditioner by Aussie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0JZ6E4OWDA/TwsNE4uE8_I/AAAAAAAAFZk/sEQFb5p7lG0/s1600/aussome_shampoo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h0JZ6E4OWDA/TwsNE4uE8_I/AAAAAAAAFZk/sEQFb5p7lG0/s400/aussome_shampoo.png" width="78" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Let me just tell you about this shampoo...I haven't ever been excited about a drug store shampoo in MY LIFE. For those of you that know me IRL...know that I have the THICKEST hair on the planet and it has previously had the tendency to look like straw! This is the best shampoo I have ever put on my head! I broke up with my Moroccon Oil for this stuff.&amp;nbsp; Today alone I have had three compliments on how great my hair looks and my husband even mentioned yesterday how much he loves our shampoo these days. If a man says something, you know it's good.&amp;nbsp; My hair is so soft and shiny!!! We buy the big bottle with the pump attached at Tarjay.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Next up are two cleaning products...I know you have all heard of the Method line and most of you probably use it.&amp;nbsp; If not...run, don't walk to (again) Tarjay and buy the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.methodhome.com/product/all-purpose-cleaner-powergreen%E2%84%A2-technology/?clementine"&gt;Method: All Purpose Cleaner&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Scent: Pink Grapefruit&lt;/b&gt;. I haven't met a scent of theirs I didn't LOVE but pink grapefruit is something special!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tmim3CASe4/TwsPfTdNezI/AAAAAAAAFZs/pMllKBd9o_g/s1600/APC_pinkgrapefruit_2011redesign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_tmim3CASe4/TwsPfTdNezI/AAAAAAAAFZs/pMllKBd9o_g/s400/APC_pinkgrapefruit_2011redesign.jpg" width="367" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;And as if finding one cleaning product that I love from this company wasn't enough...I also love their &lt;a href="http://www.methodhome.com/product/wood-good-surface-cleaner/?almond"&gt;Wood For Good Surface Cleaner. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;The scent is Almond.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How could you go wrong? It's my fav because it doesn't leave that waxy residue on my furniture like Pledge does. There is a strong possibility that the Almond makes me hungry but I'm not quitting this stuff anytime soon! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NATJ_HxiqD4/TwsQAnZipCI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/OTm2Kc4kf-w/s1600/woodforgoodsurfacecleaner_almond.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NATJ_HxiqD4/TwsQAnZipCI/AAAAAAAAFZ0/OTm2Kc4kf-w/s400/woodforgoodsurfacecleaner_almond.jpg" width="367" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;On to some little "clothing" items.&amp;nbsp; It's the little things right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you checked out the &lt;a href="http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=Gilligan+&amp;amp;category=0%7CAll%7Cmatchallany%7Call+categories#navigation=true&amp;amp;Nao=0&amp;amp;viewType=medium&amp;amp;sortBy=relevance&amp;amp;isleaf=false&amp;amp;parentCategoryId=0&amp;amp;RatingFacet=0&amp;amp;customPrice=false&amp;amp;productsCount=364"&gt;Gilligan &amp;amp; OMalley&lt;/a&gt; line at Target for Women?&amp;nbsp; Well recently, I was in need of some new undies. This happens to you too, right? I was in Target and I saw these were 5 for $20.&amp;nbsp; I bought 5 pair and have loved them! They come in boy shorts, bikinis, thongs and whatever else is left after that.&amp;nbsp; And in about 20 colors! Super comfy.&amp;nbsp; I think the lace and ruffle trim on them makes them cute.&amp;nbsp; Once I knew I was in love, I went home cleaned out all my old VS underwear and bought a ton of these in all shapes and colors.&lt;br /&gt;

When Aidan is running around, I throw on a pair of PJ pants under them. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gYUiLptC1Zo/TwtXmlDfw-I/AAAAAAAAFZ8/F5UXOYf0ruE/s1600/13570548.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gYUiLptC1Zo/TwtXmlDfw-I/AAAAAAAAFZ8/F5UXOYf0ruE/s320/13570548.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBvCt9VsuEU/TwtXoEjvc9I/AAAAAAAAFaM/m582cm3FJsU/s1600/13757685.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bBvCt9VsuEU/TwtXoEjvc9I/AAAAAAAAFaM/m582cm3FJsU/s320/13757685.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I have a small addiction to hand soap.&amp;nbsp; I wash my hands a lot so I always like something that smells good but isn't over powering.&amp;nbsp; When I was at Bath &amp;amp; Body Works getting stocking stuffer's this year, I was literally in line, remembered I was out of hand soap in our&amp;nbsp; bathroom so I grabbed this bottle because...are you ready for it...it was red and it was Christmas time.&amp;nbsp; I didn't read the bottle, I just picked it up. Best accident EVER. The &lt;a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11669915&amp;amp;cp=4090259.4090258.4090278.4431583.11226311"&gt;Black Current Vanilla&lt;/a&gt; is UH. MAZING. The whole aromatherapy thing has something to do with being "Sensual". I have to say I haven't really noticed a difference anywhere&amp;nbsp; but in the scent I carry with me on my hands. It does say on the bottom to breath in deeply when washing your hands and you know I do that. Can you see me? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EUK-P16w6AA/TwtglVzczII/AAAAAAAAFaU/t6lnw7rU_4U/s1600/pBBW1-10388196v275.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EUK-P16w6AA/TwtglVzczII/AAAAAAAAFaU/t6lnw7rU_4U/s320/pBBW1-10388196v275.jpg" width="211" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;That's it. 6 quick items. All totally affordable. All but 1 you can get at your local Target.&amp;nbsp; No one asked me to write about these things, I just did it because I have been so happy with them and thought you could be too!&lt;br /&gt;
All images were taken from the website I linked back to. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I was in denial that the time was coming. I really never wanted him to get out of his infant carrier...but life goes on and kids grow up. &amp;nbsp; Even though our pediatrician said it was fine for him to still be in his forward facing car seat, I knew it was OK to move him up and it would make our lives and his easier.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I had every intention of buying a Graco seat but once we got to the store, I couldn't help but be drawn to the Britax.&amp;nbsp; We love our Britax Marathon.&amp;nbsp; And yes we do have it in the "Cowmooflage" print. I needed something other than black or grey! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DSjBTi1gEys/TwcjuFrGfnI/AAAAAAAAFZE/kAQcCJWAkhM/s1600/Marathon-Cow-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DSjBTi1gEys/TwcjuFrGfnI/AAAAAAAAFZE/kAQcCJWAkhM/s400/Marathon-Cow-1.jpg" width="324" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.britax.com/"&gt;via&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;I let Aidan pick out the color of his new seat and he went with red.&amp;nbsp; It's a nice change.&amp;nbsp; It has cup holders which is really nice and when I put him in it, he felt as secure to me as the car seat.&amp;nbsp; We're all happy!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I can't handle all of this growing up!! Yesterday he wrote his name without anyone's help! I was washing my car and he was doodling in the driveway.&amp;nbsp; Next thing I know, he is standing next to me with his name written out.&amp;nbsp; He and I were so proud! I realize he does this all the time at school, I could just never get him to do it for me! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NDyTrGkpnqY/TwcmjGs5lmI/AAAAAAAAFZc/9oHuDPSj80A/s1600/aidan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NDyTrGkpnqY/TwcmjGs5lmI/AAAAAAAAFZc/9oHuDPSj80A/s400/aidan.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I am working on a Disney video but it's taking longer than I thought it would!

&lt;br /&gt;
The first being the Holidays.&amp;nbsp; They were happening so fast and I was getting so caught up in posting pictures of what my house looked like decorated that I wasn't just enjoying my house and my boys and the holidays so I deleted the photos off of my camera and took pics of Aidan staring up at our tree and all the lights Adam put on the house!&amp;nbsp; It made Christmas so much more fun!&amp;nbsp; But just for good measure here are two snap shots of our big tree and the tree in Aidan's playroom...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Reason number 2.&amp;nbsp; We've been doing lots of work around here.&amp;nbsp; We have redone our bathroom and we finally bought a new sofa.&amp;nbsp; It has yet to be delivered but any day now I expect to be sitting on it!&amp;nbsp; We went with the Pottery Barn Comfort Roll Grand Sofa in the Washed Linen/Cotton fabric in Camel.&amp;nbsp; That's a lot isn't it?&amp;nbsp; The fabric&amp;nbsp;was actually being discontinued so we were limited to picking from sofa's that were one of their Quick Ship items.&amp;nbsp; That really wasn't hard to do because the sectional Adam wanted was the same sofa.&amp;nbsp; We just didn't get the sectional.&amp;nbsp; This is the sofa: (the color is about 5 shades lighter in real life).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;And lastly, we surprised Aidan and took him to Disney World for New Years.&amp;nbsp; It was not only Aidan's first time but Adam's as well!!! We got back last night and we had the best time!&amp;nbsp; We are thinking 2012 is the year the Harvey family will grow to four so (have I said that before or what?) we were happy to get this trip in with Aidan before adding anyone else to our family.&amp;nbsp; I have tons of pictures/videos/Disney advice for you all so be looking for those posts!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Thanks to all of you that still read! Haha! I promise to be better!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Tx5kVLLAOU/Tvq552vjp7I/AAAAAAAAFYU/aD3vNWpO28k/s1600/18021099382.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="266" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0Tx5kVLLAOU/Tvq552vjp7I/AAAAAAAAFYU/aD3vNWpO28k/s400/18021099382.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;I've had dogs in the past. We gave two away just before Aidan was born.&amp;nbsp; I had an English Bulldog named Lucy that I absolutely adored but she started to attack Adam when I was pregnant.&amp;nbsp; We did what we thought was the best thing and gave her to a very nice family. I still miss her.&amp;nbsp; Then there was Frasier our Sharpei.&amp;nbsp; When Adam and I first started dating we did the typical cliche relationship thing and got a puppy together.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When Lucy started getting aggressive and we had decided to&amp;nbsp;find her a new home, Adam's parents expressed interest in having Frasier&amp;nbsp;come&amp;nbsp;live with them.&amp;nbsp; We were never home and they&amp;nbsp;were so it worked out perfect.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;nbsp;is still with them today and happy as a clam.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Over two years ago, we tried to make it work &lt;a href="http://adamaprilaidan.blogspot.com/2009/08/reality-television.html"&gt;with a friend's English Bulldog&lt;/a&gt; that&amp;nbsp;he couldn't keep and that didn't work out.&amp;nbsp; We were just too busy with Aidan and it was unfair to the dog.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_ZRmui4V0Q/Tvq2INWcZzI/AAAAAAAAFW0/4inwfub1qcM/s1600/IMG_0068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e_ZRmui4V0Q/Tvq2INWcZzI/AAAAAAAAFW0/4inwfub1qcM/s320/IMG_0068.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;"Mom, take a picture of me and Scouty."&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Daily occurrence. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
So i didn't know if I was ready to try the dog thing again.&amp;nbsp; I would be lying right through this computer if I told you I was anything short of furious when Adam brought Scout home.&amp;nbsp; I had a moment where I was channeling my own mother&amp;nbsp;when I begged for that English bulldog years earlier. I was giving him lectures on responsibility and how our life style just isn't conducive.&amp;nbsp; I was fuming at the thought of a puppy having accidents on our nice rugs and dog hair all over our furniture.&amp;nbsp; Ever heard the saying "You can have a nice Home or you can have a Dog."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7fuLgTbFuUw/Tvq2LPkdL5I/AAAAAAAAFW8/THrMCCTu_2M/s1600/IMG_0077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7fuLgTbFuUw/Tvq2LPkdL5I/AAAAAAAAFW8/THrMCCTu_2M/s320/IMG_0077.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;How could you not love that face?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Let's not forget to mention why on Earth would he make such a decision without consulting me? The thing is, I love the idea of a dog...I don't like the work that comes along with it. It is a HUGE responsibility. At least children can eventually feed themselves and use the bathroom on their own. Dogs are dependent on you for those things FOREVER. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-suSKKc-exi0/Tvq2X_Je_OI/AAAAAAAAFXc/Sw5M8JhdaFI/s1600/IMG_0218.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-suSKKc-exi0/Tvq2X_Je_OI/AAAAAAAAFXc/Sw5M8JhdaFI/s320/IMG_0218.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Scout doesn't seem to mind that Aidan takes him everywhere. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;Compromising is not my strongest point. But compromising is just what I had to do.&amp;nbsp; And it looked like this. SCOUT CAN HAVE A TRIAL RUN.&amp;nbsp; I didn't know if I would last 2&amp;nbsp;hours or 2 weeks but I said I would try.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I would put&amp;nbsp;the effort in to make it work. &amp;nbsp;Everyone (Aidan included) is going to pitch in. We're going to train the dog. I want him on a schedule and I don't want him in our beds or on our other furniture. We all committed to try it out and see how things went. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pv3Ja1sZq5A/Tvq2PnsQjWI/AAAAAAAAFXE/qF76-jkzDwo/s1600/IMG_0081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Pv3Ja1sZq5A/Tvq2PnsQjWI/AAAAAAAAFXE/qF76-jkzDwo/s320/IMG_0081.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Buds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;I am really happy to report...it's been pretty easy. Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever wanted a Jack Russell Terrier.&amp;nbsp; Everything I have ever heard about their temperament kind of turned me off.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The words "lots of energy" would not have been ones I would like to hear when selecting a breed.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A co-worker of mine has a Jack Russell and when he heard about our new puppy told me to take him back!&amp;nbsp; But Scout is really, really great.&amp;nbsp; He&amp;nbsp;just fits with us. I don't know if it was/is the endless amounts of praying I do that he will work out so Aidan's heart isn't broken or if it's just that the three of us were so determined to make it work out but it has.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pfnQeGOMKrg/Tvq2RVCbQ1I/AAAAAAAAFXM/q_bCht8zMsc/s1600/IMG_0126.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" rea="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pfnQeGOMKrg/Tvq2RVCbQ1I/AAAAAAAAFXM/q_bCht8zMsc/s320/IMG_0126.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Aidan is crazy about him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;The last 2 months have flown by and we have stayed on a schedule and we have stuck to keeping him off the furniture and his accidents have been minimal. He listens, he's good with Aidan (they spend hours in the back yard together) and even the cats like him! There is a benefit to him being a small breed because we are able to bring him a lot of places with us. One of my biggest fears would be that he would spend all his time in a crate. All in all, he's been a&amp;nbsp;welcome addition to&amp;nbsp;our little&amp;nbsp;family. I am sure there will be more times I will look at Adam and think "I am going to kill you for bringing this dog home" but those thoughts will be few and far between I'm sure. I just ordered his monogrammed collar and dog bed.&amp;nbsp; Scout is here to stay.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;He does get to get in our bed once in a while at night and snuggles.&amp;nbsp; But he sleeps in his crate every night.&amp;nbsp; On Christmas I was willing to let him sleep with us (gasp!) but he wanted to sleep in his crate.&amp;nbsp; He loves it in there. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hopefully by now everyone has received our Christmas card. I was so late getting them out this year because every weekend I tried to plan to take photos of Aidan, he was either sick or the weather wasn't cooperating. I had all but given up when the opportunity arose for us to take some photos of him at Mike's house in Waxhaw. The old barn and open fields are the perfect back drop for pictures. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I am biased but I just think he is so handsome! The front of the card&amp;nbsp;is probably my favorite picture I have taken of him EVER. We are having it blown up and framed. He is growing up way too fast. As much as I love to watch him grow, it is so bittersweet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feeling really blessed to be celebrating another&amp;nbsp;Holiday season&amp;nbsp;with such a sweet boy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We hope you are all enjoying your time with your families and keeping the real reason for the season at the fore front of your hearts and minds!&amp;nbsp; Merry, Merry Christmas! &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Here are the two short videos I took of Aidan singing with his class.&amp;nbsp; He doesn't sing a word of "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer" but he is pretty good at the "Reindeer Pokey".&amp;nbsp; He is third from the right.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

We think he is hilarious.&amp;nbsp; I also have a pet peeve about people talking/singing with their mouths full.&amp;nbsp; I express that about half way though while Aidan is singing and eating a tortilla chip.&amp;nbsp; Haha! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Hey, better late than never! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We used our friend Mike's barn in Waxhaw&amp;nbsp;as a back drop and I am soooooo happy with how the photos came out.&amp;nbsp; I am definitely not a pro photog but I usually take about 50 pictures and get 20 I like and 5 I love! I think that's pretty good.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam was a great assistant and Aidan was patient and cute as can be! Here are a few of the pictures that didn't make the card (for obvious reasons).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;His son Ryland is Aidan's BFF so they have a great time.&amp;nbsp; It's tons of free space for them to run and they can get in to just about anything and we let them be. They jump in the leaves, climb all over the barn, ride their four wheelers through the corn fields and now Mike has added a trampoline to the mix...so they have that to do as well. It's a little man's dream come true out there.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;You probably know this by now, but Clemson killed VT. It was a great game! Go Tigers! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;The parents and I.&amp;nbsp; My Dad is making a goofy smile on purpose. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QUwFyq_eeY4/Tu7snS-YDkI/AAAAAAAAFOU/UAZcIJNIygc/s1600/17867166970.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QUwFyq_eeY4/Tu7snS-YDkI/AAAAAAAAFOU/UAZcIJNIygc/s320/17867166970.jpg" width="296" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
