Kelly Pre-Christmas Bash

We had so much fun as usual with the Kellys' celebrating Christmas a little early!

The girls liked all the presents being brought in!I got a snuggie, YAY!

The girls got princess dress up, pretty pretty princess game and princess scooter, aquadoodle, a Dr. kit, Barbie Camper, and Barbie dolls!!

I love this pic of their cousins with Grandpa:

Back to front: Joe, Dani, Grandpa, Alex and Jack

We wanted a pic of ALL the kids....Avery REFUSED....

So I asked her if she would take a pic if I sat on the couch next to her...notice my knees in the right side of the pic! You could say Avery is a little strong-willed....oh well, we got the picture and my kid isn't a pushover (that will be a good quality in the business world right??)!!!

What a fun Merry pre-christmas we had!!

Happy Birthday Jesus Party

Preschool is out for the Christmas Holidays! Wahoo! And to kick it off, they had parents come to Chapel with their kids and a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party! It was so fun! Here is Kyndall and her class in front of the tree! Too cute:)Close up!

Daddy and Avery at Chapel...Avery was mesmorized...and may I add that my husband is super handsome!!
Kyndall was showing us the movements to the songs...sweet huh! This is baby Jesus

Again, my super handsome husband posing with the girls before he had to go back to work...let the party begin!

First, was the craft....a candy cane picture frame...and the room mom read them a story about the meaning of candy canes...Kyndall really got a lot out of it. She draws them and talks about how they are shaped like a J for Jesus and look like a shepherd's staff too!

Then was the book exchange...Kyndall got a cute book called, "I love you because you are you"

Finally the goods!! Cupcakes please:) They even let Avery have one!

The End!

Gingerbread Houses and mini playdate

My friend, Mariah, is a party host extraodinaire. I mean it, every detail is covered. Not only covered but done in a beautiful and creative way. Needless to say, we LOVE her parties! This year, she had a Gingerbread house decorating party and it was amazing as usual. I was sick, so my friend Jenny took Kyndall with her daughter Kate (Kyndall's best friend). Sara Paige (Avery's best friend and Jenny's other daughter) came to our house for a mini playdate.

How cute is her set up:

Hard at work with Mrs. Jenny and Kate decorating:

All done!

Kyndall with her sweet friends Kate and Aubrey(Mariah's daughter)

And here is trouble 1 and trouble 2 all dressed up and pushing their babies!

Kids love Jim....Jenny calls him the baby whisperer:

Merry Mainstreet

This year, we decided to go to Merry Mainstreet in Frisco for the annual tree lighting and Mainstreet lighting. It was COLD!! I mean COLD! It is really fun, they have vendors, a fake ice skating rink (where ice skaters performed) and 3 stages set up where the choirs of the different Frisco Elementary Schools came to sing (Cousin Jack was singing so we wanted to be sure and see that!)

The girls saw real reindeer:Kyndall took her pic with Rudolph:
And Frosty:

But Avery wouldn't go near them....she is a loud screamer ya'll...LOUD!

It was so cold we left before the lighting of Mainstreet and the Christmas tree...but we had a blast anyway:)

Spirit Day in December: Crazy Hair day:)

Every month at preschool, Kyndall has a "spirit day" where she wears her Kid Care t-shirt and then there is a "theme" September was crazy hat day, October obviously was wear your costume, November was Pajama day, and this month was.....

Crazy Hair Day!!!

Kyndall was SO excited for crazy hair day, until it arrived. All of a sudden that morning she said, "I don't want crazy hair Mommy". I told her that she would be missing out and that all the kids would have crazy hair, was she sure??? So she said, "Welllllll how about 1 ponytail". Okay, so I put a pony on the very TOP of her head per her request. Then, she and I found all her fun hair ties and just kept putting them in!! She loved it....and she fit right in at school....there are some pretty creative Mommies out there...I have good ideas for next year:)

Of course, lil' miss Avery did not want to miss out on the fun!
She showed Kyndall's teacher, who raved over her crazy hair!! Too fun

Key Fob Give-Away!

It's that time of year again...and we are all searching for great, unique gifts for our friends, family, teachers, and gifts for Holiday parties. I ran across these at a craft show and knew I had to make some for gifts for my friends and family. Soon, people started asking if I could make some for them to give as gifts....so I thought I would offer them on my website.

They are great stocking stuffers, perfect for giving with a giftcard (just punch a hole in the giftcard and attach to the ring), and great for yourself! They fit around your wrist, and are big enough to find in any bag:) I carry one now and am so glad I have it!
