Christmas Day

The girls were so happy to get new toys!

Trying to get a "good" picture of them. Aubrey never cooperates...I use bribery.

It's called lollipops.

Merry Christmas!

Aubrey's Christmas Program

The little ones just sang a couple songs. Aubrey just stood there looking at the teachers, the other kids, and looking for me. I thought she would for sure cry but there wasn't even one tear shed. Success!

More Christmas Pictures

Heart Lights

Just playing with my camera. : )

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. : )

Go to my craft blog for a $15 Michael's Giveaway. I like to promote crafting! : )

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!

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!
