Holiday Parties!

The girls celebrated their last day of school before winter break! They dressed all up for the occasion. 



Their school does caroling in the halls and it is so sweet to watch them sing with their classmates. Here Julia is snuggled up to her friend, Lucy, sharing the song book.



Natalie was sitting in the very back.



A couple of videos.




Natalie's holiday food. Someone had already stolen the star from the top of the tree!





Julia's party!





Fun at the photo booth during their party!







Julia and Lucy doing a small gift exchange after school.


The girls FINALLY got their email from Santa. Turns out Julia is on the nice list and Natalie has made the undecided list. Better shape up before Christmas!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Christmas is right around the corner and what that means around here is....FOOD and more FOOD!

A fruit Christmas tree for Natalie's class party.


Chocolate peppermint pancakes.


And a special drink for mom!


And there were a few cinnamon rolls made...


And it wouldn't be Christmastime without saltine toffee!


Santa face pancakes!



And here are some of the packages of goodies we delivered!



Julia's class made a "Polar Express" train out of food!








Julia and her girl scout group, along with Ava, went to see A Christmas Carol.


Julia's girl scout troop celebrated Christmas with cookies, karaoke and wrapping donations!




Julia's class performed a short poem at the school assembly.


We went to see Junie B Jones "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells" with friends and had a great time! We even got to see Santa!







We had our first gift exchange and it was so fun! We are spoiled with such good friends!






The girls have started really, really, loving legos. Everyone was in on the fun this morning.


Julia has been a little under the weather and Max was sweet enough to lay by her. Usually he growls at her.


I helped with the teacher gift this year and created this "money" tree for Julia's teacher.


Julia had a gift exchange with there bestie over lunch!



And sometimes Max is just too cute.


The girls had their Christmas program the other night and they just looked so beautiful! 



After a serious photo I let them do some silly ones!








This is my new favorite photo of them!
