PJs on Christmas Eve


Every Christmas Eve we get new pjs and then we then snuggle up to read the Christmas story from Luke. And then we just hang out. Maya had pigtails earlier and now she has crazy hair!

Christmas Eve at Great Grandma's house

A look around to see what was happening.







All were good sports to play the girls' new Princess Friends Forever game with them. Yes, even the men.
It is always so fun to see family and spend time with them.

can't get enough!


This girl loves this baby!!
Aleah is often asking to hold Maya. Sometimes Aleah just picks Maya up or loves to play with her while she's lying on the floor. She's usually willing to give her the pacifier and tries to comfort Maya if she's crying.
And they love talking to each other!

Go VOTE please!!

I entered Project Toddler Runway and I made it to the top 15!!
It's going to be narrowed down to 10 and then those 10 get to compete in a different challenge each week. After each challenge, someone will be cut. But for now, I'm just trying to make the top 10!! That's where you come in. Can you go vote for the adorable girl in that stylin' wool jacket? Please! It takes just a moment because the poll is on the top right of her blog.

Thanks for the love!

The Thanksgiving Turkey Hunt.

The kids get to use these cool marshmellow blow guns to hunt down a turkey...really, just each other!
















That's what we call good family traditions!

Tangled 3D


Friday after Thanksgiving, we went to see Tangled 3D with our cousins, Mikey, Sammy and Elizabeth. We had so much fun!
Nani was not a fan of the "MEAN mom". ("MEAN" is italicized for those who know how Nani talks and can just picture her saying it) We tried to explain to her that the "MEAN mom" wasn't her real mom. She didn't understand. She did understand that the Queen was her mom, the "Nice mom".
I had to ask her though, if her mom was like the "MEAN mom".
Her answer, "Sometimes".
Great.

attitude is in abundance


There other day, my sweet little Aleah and Nani were supposed to be picking up in her jackets and hanging them on hangers in their bedroom. I heard a lot of playing going on, so I went in the bedroom to check it out. How ever long they were in there nothing was picked up. I looked at Aleah asked her what she was doing and then asked her what she was supposed to be doing.

After she replied,

"picking up our jackets"

I said,

" What are you waiting for then?"


She got this big smirk across her face, and she said,

"Christmas"


Lovely.

Matthew had to use his calming forces and he kindly put his arm out to stop my lunge and dissipate the rage in my eyes.

Well, jackets are hung up, everybody is alive and......happy!


I love my girls. They make me crazy, they make me laugh the make me happy!

Halloween

Butterflies and butterfly catcher


Jack-o-lantern and a candle...
I know it's a stretch and I made it 30 min. before we went to a Halloween party. I know, lame.
There's always hope for next year.

My little tower of merchandise.
This was a quick easy solution. I have so many ideas going for the next one.

I thought I'd share a few comments as a post..............


friend 1 said...

And, because I love my friends, I will be posting giveaways and ways to get items for a small discount:) on the blog! So fun! Stay tuned...we're almost there! love you friends!

First craft fair

Before Maya was born, I made some easy burp cloths.
Soon after she was born, a friend asked if I wanted to join her table at a craft fair. I jumped on board and now I'm addicted! So I made a bunch of these burp cloths. The ones I made for the craft fair were much cuter and they came in sets of three. I also made some nursing covers and pacifier clips. It was fun and it went pretty well! Maybe I'll fit in 2 more before then end of the year...because we need more things to make this time of year busier:)
