Christmas at Nana and Papa D's

We celebrated Christmas at Nana and Papa D's Sunday afternoon. There are 11 of us, so there are always lots of presents and lots of fun!

Presley and Addison got the sweetest doll prams, but the girls only found one baby doll to stroll. I grabbed a stuffed Santa off of a table and put it in Presley's stroller. She did not want Santa in her stroller, so Addison grabbed it and told Presley she could have the baby. It was so sweet :)

Our Weekend...

We had a great weekend! Saturday, we went to Addison's 4th birthday party at River City Gymnastics. It was lots of fun. Then, we went shopping with my mom. I had to get some new sheets because I have used my for sooo long that I wore a hole in them! Then, we went over to our friends, Blake, Tiffany, and Jace's house for a Christmas party (They have 9 Christmas trees!!!). Guess who showed up! SANTA! I can't believe he came all the way from the North Pole to see us! He brought Presley a basket of (play) food. She is still playing with it as I type this. Today, Nick took Presley to Peyton and Addison's party so that I could come home and get some things done. We have a busy week ahead! Hope that you enjoy your week ahead and stay warm! =)

Thanks Jeremy and Summer for the yard ornament!

Christmas Cards

I love Christmas cards, and since we had Presley I try to start thinking about what I want to do around October. This year, we had some family photos taken by a photographer in Benton, Tia Wind. She is an on location, natural light photographer. I have all the pics from our session and the rights to the photos , but there is one problem- I can’t pick a favorite! I usually do one photo on our card, but I wanted to use multiple images. I was checking out Shutterfly, and I found tons of cards that have more than one photo included.

Cute, huh?

I also love this ornament! It would be a perfect present for someone that loves photos- like me!

I love giving and receiving personalized gifts, and Shutterfly has some super-cute stuff. They have mugs, calendars, photobooks, and stationary. Sometimes it is so hard to pick out things that people will like, but how could you not like something with photos of your family? Like this one!!!

Bubbles!

Tonight I put lots of Princess Bubbles in the bathtub, and I just could not resist making some goofy "hair" on Presley.

We hope that you feel inspired to experiment with your own bubble styles!

Happy 3rd Birthday! (and Happy Halloween!)

Presley turned 3 on Friday, and we had a carnival party for her in our backyard yesterday. We had games and a bounce house, hot dogs and popcorn, prizes, a candy buffet, and (of course) cake and ice cream! We had a great time! After the party, we had time to clean up, order a pizza, and then we got ready for Halloween. Presley wass the cutest cat you've ever seen!

A Day Off

I took the day off yesterday since Presley's babysitter did too. Presley and I had a great day! We started off by eating Captain Crunch, we went to the park, then the library, we picked up some lunch and had a picnic, and we went shopping (at the DG). I captured some pics from the day...

Swinging at the park!

Walking Shorty and pulling Presley at the same time!

 I love books that are illustrated by graphic designers. I was reading this and thinking about when Presley will find out that not all books have awesome pictures and some books have none at all! Do you remember when you made that realization?

What she bought at DG- girly stuff!

Nick reading Presley a book about the Patriots (His fave NFL team). He even threw in his own commentary and informed us about "The Fridge". Some guy that played for the Bears. It was very enlightening. Presley really did act interested. Must be in the genes.
