Merry Christmas....

Wishing you a wonderful holiday from our family to yours! Enjoy the blessings that surround you :)

T'was the night....

Making cookies for Santa…

So happy to have some ‘twinkle toes’….

An evening with family, a walk through the Zoo Lights, and a special video delivery from Santa….and she was tucked snug in her bed…..while visions of an Amer!can G!rl doll danced in her head.

Ornament Exchange...

These are the ornaments I made this year...They are Peace, Love and Happiness!!!

They were so fun to make and (in my opinion) they came out really cute!

The preparations….

When we opened our xmas decorations we came across this dress….If you look closely you can see that the buttons say “Sarah.” My Aunt made me this dress for xmas when I was about Tae’s age…full circle...Tae loved it!

I love our tree this year...and the man in this picture too ;)

Teacher gifts....

These give back...

Paper chains...I am a little in love with these...

These smell sooo yummy...

I love when it gets a little chilly out...Hot chocolate all day please!

Isn't this what you do....

when you go to Co$tc0??? Lounge in the pillows and munch on a tortilla???

Children's Mu$eum....

Another fun day with the L girls.....

I have back posted this...it was such a wonderful day I did not want to leave it off the blog.

8/30....hmmm

I had to work most of the day today….felt pretty awful leaving Mama K at the house all day. I came home to a wonderful dinner…AGAIN. Love Mama K!!!!

Went through some of T’s too small clothes (I don’t say old because to me they are not old) and it is always a bit of a heart tugging experience. How did she grow so fast? My crazy memory really does a number on me with this type of situation. I can look at each article of clothing and see so many memories. My girl is growing fast…too fast for me.

I will take my sorting to the 2nd hand store this week. I have kept most of the items in the family…some to sister, some to Mama K and some to M. And yes, still enough to take a trip to the 2nd hand store. All my special pieces are back in the bin and tucked in the closet.

Night.

7/30....the Lu bug....

Today he hit the hot spot known as I-K-E-A....the big girls decided the play place was where they wanted to be and the little stayed with the Mamas. What a cute little Lu Bug!!!

I have a great idea to include with our xmas cards...something that gives....now to just get the cards...hmmm not feeling very motivated for the cards this year =/

6/30...sweetness...

Tonight I came home from our show to a clean kitchen (thanks to N) and dinner (thanks to Mama K). Poppy came over for dinner and fixed our furnace. I am loved!

I have missed my girl terribly this weekend. She was a crazy child this evening...a sure sign that she had fun while I was away. Her Nana treats her well!

It is so great to have the L girls here. I have won Lu over and that makes me smile. It is so sweet to hear the girls talk about how they are family...so sweet!

Night

5/30...like ice...

soooo cold today at our show...SOOOO cold. I am still trying to get warm 5 hours later. Sister and I had fun being silly and laughing at each other.

Still thinking about the xmas gifts.

4/30....giving...

This year I am really putting a lot of thought into our Christmas gift giving…and receiving. I have a really strong desire to make most of the gifts but I know that would not be enjoyable for everyone. I am trying to think of gifts that can do more than be a gift…something that keeps giving in one way or another. I have a few ideas and maybe the entire gift will not be able to offer endless glory but hopefully a portion of it will. I do have hopes of making some jam and baking some bread for friends…we will have to see about that.

Tae has an advent calendar from TJ’s and it is a fun yet stressful activity each morning as she is overjoyed with the chocolate and closeness of Christmas…while Mama gets a little freaked that we are not ready!!!!! SOOOO not ready :/

1/31....here we go again...

.....NaBloPoMo for the month of December. I am very excited about the theme…I will do my best. I was a little disappointed in my attempts last month…not all post worthy topics. So for December…the theme comes with a challenge to do something each day…a random act of kindness and blog about it. I am not sure how random my acts will be but I am excited to take on this challenge.
