Merry Christmas!

We had a CRAZY, hectic day full of presents. Santa spoiled again this year. We kind of hope the girls will be a little bad next year so he doesn't bring so much. Now is the big discussion on where we are going to put all of their goodies. My mom and Dad were able to spend the night on Christmas Eve we all unwrapped new PJ's and we all went to bed. We woke up to loads of gifts for the girls. They had a good day, mostly going from 1 present to the next, which involved a lot of cutting and untying. Why do they wrap toys with 40 twist ties? We enjoyed a traditional ham dinner, my fav. Here are highlights from the day... the lowlights will follow in another post.

Another garage sale find

I fell in love with this painting and the frame lines were nice as well. The orange had to go as well as the cobwebs covering the back. Yuck.

After a few coats of paint and some distressing the frame turned out great and the picture looks great in it.

I have envisioned this is what Al and I are going to look like when we are old and gray. How sweet is this little couple strolling down the path?

Cedar Truck Beautified

Al and I found this Lane Cedar chest at a garage sale for $10.00. It took A LOT of sanding and stain but I think it has been beau-T-fied. I am not too sure about the fabric on top or the knobs but they work for now. It is perfect under our bedroom window for extra storage of blankets and pillows.

Happy Birthday Ginny!

Today is my mother-in-law's birthday! Happy Birthday Ginny! The girls can't wait to see you.

Santa's New Ride

In our neighborhood Santa rides a 4-wheeler. The girls were able to go with him to deliver candy canes to all the neighborhood children.

School/Daycare Holiday Parties

Landree's class had a holiday party on Friday. I was happy that I was able to go to it. It was great hearing "Mommy" as soon as I walked in the class. Yeah- her regular teacher will be back after break!

On Friday evening Lily and Lauryn had their holiday party at Michelle's. Michelle has provided daycare for us for over 3 years now. She spoils the kids rotten. Lily started off by singing Jingle Bells for the crowd. I made all of the girls outfits. They all wore Suger Plum Fairy shirts and tutu's. They turned out pretty cute and they were excited to wear them.

I can't wait to see Lauryn's face on Friday after Santa has been here. She was SO excited to unwrap and see the baby and stroller. Her face was so cute. She was screaming for me to open it. Michelle also got her a tricycle.

Lily got a new Barbie bike. She loves it! It has a smaller bike that sits on the handle bars for Barbie to ride.


Of course, Landree could not be left out of the fun. She got a new Sharpay doll.

O' Christmas Tree

We decorated the day after Thanksgiving and I have been a MAJOR blog slacker. The decor looks great and I hope to have some better pictures of it before Christmas. So, T-minus 50 hours...



All of the decorating can wear you out...
