houses for the ginger dudes

I know I know!  Best mom/aunt/cousin/friend ever right?  Had a few friends and family members over to make some memories this Christmas.  I hot glued the houses together before everyone got there and the kids decorated!  The train was a little trickier with frosting, I ran out of hot glue.  But it worked out.  Pres and her friend did little igloos for the penguins and all were happy! 

Storybook Village

 We hit Storybook Village with our neighbors.  It was cold, but it put us in the Christmas spirit and the kids had a great time!

My boy and his bodily functions!  We had to run across a football field to relieve his bladder.  That kid...

 Me and my scruffy man who makes all this possible.

 

 And the baby girl who feel asleep cause she was SO tired.  It was a good night!

A Wreath!

This Year I decided it would be fun to make Wreaths to sell.  After a HUGE Learning curve, I got pretty good at it.  I was very sad when I only sold two at the Elementary School craft fair.... (to my friends who I would have given them to anyway.) 

But I'm ready for next year and look forward to it because it was so fun!

Matilda Jane

 Our Aunt Gina sells this adorable upper end line of clothing.  Aunt Keri and Nana hosted a fashion show! 
Featuring of course a few of the cutest little girls I know!!!  Here is my baby girl with her Nana.

 This Little one is a friend of ours and she is just so cute I had to put her on my blog! 

 This is my oldest daughter.  Hard to believe she is eleven, and getting knock out beautiful....

 One of my Christmas Wreaths I made this year to sell.   Hope to do better next year since I've gotten pretty good at making them beautiful. 

My Dad and Londyn posing for a picture.  It was a very relaxing day.  The turkey and stuffing turned out perfect and everyone brought such yummy food to share.  Later in the Evening we went over to Dustin's Uncle's house where we saw Uncle Wayne and Aunt Carol and Bruce and Erin and their boys, our other parents and our brother James.  It was a relaxing holiday!

Halloween!

Best costumes ever right!  This mom loves the festivities of Halloween, but I truly do hate the candy.  Can't we please have a holiday where I know my children will not walk away on a sugar high and bad teeth?

Tradition!

 I wish this picture had better exposure cause I just think it is such a great picture of my adorable niece Sophie! 

 Me and the closest thing I'll have to any more of my own until I'm a grandma..... tear!

 Carvin' punkins at the Sellers!

 The kids did their own this year!  They liked it too... of course I cleaned all these dudes out!

 The whole world doing their thing... what a great memory!

 Daddy helping his girl!

 He did this ALL BY HIMSELF!

 And the dessert at these functions is always plentiful and GOOD!
