Baking Cookies!!

Every year my mom, sister and I get together with all of the kids and bake cookies for the holidays. This year we had a great time, although the weather took its toll on our cookies, they were a little flat! They were still yummy! It was fun to try to explain to little Gage that you can't putt sprinkles on a cookie that has already been baked!! He was determined to make those sprinkles stick!!

A Visit From The Tooth Fairy

Brandon is very excited that he lost his 4th tooth!! He wiggled that tooth for weeks to try and get it out. Finally one day at school during lunch is came out! He proudly walked out of school wearing his "tooth" necklace! We left it under his pillow that night and he was ecstatic to find $2 under his pillow the next morning!!
P.S. Don't mind the bed head!!

Sewing Mama!!

As you know, my parents moved to South Carolina back in July. Well I am so excited that they are here to visit through the holidays! My poor mom though, from the minute she walked in the door I have had her busy sewing drapes for my house! Hey I've got to take advantage of the fact that she is here right! So far we(I should say she)have sewn a shower curtain and the drapes for my living room(13 feet long)!! I am so excited!!

Update: Here are some pics of the things that my mom sewed for me!! I will add Carissa's room later, it is currently a disater!!

Happy Birthday Amanda!!

On Friday we went to Disneyland to celebrate Amanda's birthday. She is our good friends' Brian and Amber's daughter! We had a blast, it was decorated for the holiday season. We rode most of the rides that we had planned on except for It's A Small World, sorry Amanda, by the time we were ready to ride it the wait was an hour and we said "forget it!" Imagine the look on the ride attendant's face when they asked "How Many?" and we said "17!"

Let's Decorate!!

The kids were so excited to decorate the tree this year!! I love to let them do it all by themselves, although I do make a few adjustments here and there!! Our tree is such a joy to look at, it is a constant reminder of all the things that the kids have been into over the years! Power Rangers, Pooh, Buzz Lightyear, every year I buy them an ornament that represents what they enjoyed doing that year! I think that our tree has every Disney character some where on it! It is such fun!!
