way over-due

FUN in snowy Ashton. We were in town for the dog races and Drake's B-day.

Do you see what I see?

A welcomed visitor. This is not an un-common thing to see at my parent's house.

She would have eaten for a long time but a car drove by and scared her down the block.

Zach and Emma thinkin they are pretty cool at the soda fountain. I love that they look like little ski bumbs!

Cute lil gal

Drake's 5th Birthday!!!

She was so proud of her tickets and quite happy with the GrEaT cheap toys.

Drake and Kaeli came to visit. I love this picture, I don't get to see her much so it was really nice to have her at my house.

These two have really become little pals. They had just finished wrastlin.

we went to hop 2 it while they were here. I'm sure that will be something that we now have to do every time they are in town.

more wrastlin

cute!

Yesterday was a BIG day at our house because of this!

This is a great movie and if you haven't seen it, you must! Emma has had a countdown awaiting this day and she was so happy to finally have it in her hands.

Check out Be Swanky on my blog list. I love mine and Elly's were super cute in her hair on Christmas Eve.

more than a few of my favorite things

This post is about my favorite things this time of year!

Mornings at our house begin with a piece of chocolate!
Here is Emma and Elly's tree. I put it up and did nothing more. All of the ornaments are under 4.5 feet and I love it!

We still haven't built a FrOsTy at our house because we have grass but in ten days we will be in a winter wonderland making angels and snowmen.

These carolers are from Eric's grandma, quite a few of the grandkids have matching sets.

I just like this tree.

Yet another reason to love COSTCO, they have great BIG poinsettias.

LOVE this guy.

You can't really see the garland but it is quite cute.

Can ya tell I like snowmen?

One of Emma's first daycare ladies made these years ago for each family, perfect on the candle holders I must say.

One of my B-day presents. I got these snowballs at a great craft store here in Twin, love them.
Not to mention that they look super cute under these...

I got these at the Dollar store, cha-ching

A nice touch to the dining table. I just wish we could look out the window and see snowflakes.

My kiddos hands.

I walked by Elly's room on my way to do laundry and this is what I saw, I had to sneak in and get a picture. I LOVE her.

Here's my little Rudolph right before we left for her recital.

LOVE her too.

taking her bow

I tried to upload the recital but it didn't work, I'll try again another day.
