More Kitchen Christmas Crafts

We made Christmas tree using sugar cones, green frosting, M&Ms, and sprinkles.

A quick, easy, and messy craft that tastes yummy. : )

Christmas Cookie Making

 Making Peanut Butter Blossoms. Shhh...from a mix, no less. : )

Deep in concentration - because when she's done she gets to eat a Hershey's Kiss.

Piano Recital

Sydney's First Piano Recital.

 She played Jolly Old Saint Nicholas...perfectly, I might add. : )

I thought she might get nervous playing in front of so many people. She didn't even bat an eye. She went up there, played, and hopped back down to her seat. Case closed. We're so proud!

Bike Helmet

Our Starbucks Family

Clifton Mill

Every year this water mill decks their property out with Christmas lights. It's beautiful red lights lining the ground all they way down to the water. And on the hour they have a light show put to music. Aubrey was enamored with the light show. It was a nice evening of cookies, hot chocolate, and lights. 

Modern Family Post

We get a really good laugh every week from the show Modern Family. We had to pull over and take this picture when we found a real life Dunphy Real Estate sign!

Birthday Party Pinata

Christmas Tree Adventure

They have a couple Christmas tree farms around here. We visited one the day after Thanksgiving. The girls had a blast! It was a beautiful day out too.

 Yeah, that sled is meant for the tree. : )

The man at work. 

Our tree. I love it. I think it's our prettiest tree yet.

Model Pose

Aubrey's new "pose" for pictures.

Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium Thanksgiving morning. It was the BEST time to go. We were only one out of probably five families there.

They had a bird exhibit (at an aquarium, I know) and Sydney fed the lorikeets for the first time.

Happy Thanksgiving

Aubrey

I just realized I take all these pictures of Aubrey on the couch! It's the only time she will sit still. : )

She's a thumb sucker...and quite a cute one at that!

Pioneer Woman Cinnamon Rolls

By far the easiest and tastiest home made cinnamon rolls I've made! Beware: They make a lot!

Sunglasses

 She has super long eyelashes.

Halloween 2011

This year for Halloween we have a kitty

and a peacock. : )

  I was inspired by this peacock costume. I changed mine up a little bit. I added a longer tulle tail and I added wire to the back side of the feathers so they would stick out a bit more. I originally made her a owl costume but I didn't feel like fit her personality. This one is much brighter and with spunk - just like Aubrey!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Pumpkins

Cuddles

Disney On Ice!

Sydney has been taking ice skating lessons so I thought she would love the Disney on Ice that came to town. Boy was I right! We got to see skating to Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, and Peter Pan. Mickey and the gang were there too. Fun times. 

We'll see what she attempts at her next lesson. : )

 Down by the ice.
