My own toy story

Princess Tea

princess Amelia Rose

Before Christmas, we went to a princess tea with amelia's friends Megan and Oliva. Mia also met a new friend Lilly. The girls had a blast and were excited to meet Cinderella, Aurora and Snow White! He are some pics from the day! ! And what did the girls want to do after we ate our fabulous lunch? play with all the mom's cell phones!! It was quite funny watching them play games on the phones!

They did take time out to meet the princesses. We also found a dress up room where the girls modeled some of the latest fashions for us!

it was a day of fun for me and my girl! She had a blast and asked when we could go to another tea!!

breakfast with santa

Every year multiple places around the STL area have breakfast with santa. Last year we went to eckert's. It was nice, the kids enjoyed it. This year we decided to try Macy's breakfast with santa. It was so much fun. The breakfast was pre-plated, nothing fancy. Eggs, french toast, bacon, fresh fruit. They had jugglers, a clown and singers too. The kids had a great time, they sang and danced. I goofed up the reservations so we were one adult short. We decided to let both grandma's come. I think they had just as much fun as the kids! I can't wait to go again next year!!

Silent night

It must have been a silent night at our house for the littlest member to venture out. See her? she liked hiding under the tree after the kids went to bed.

our first pageant!

Amelia had her first christmas pageant scheduled at school. It was mainly for the parents as it was in the middle of the week. Father Winter decided that would be a fine time to dump ice and snow on us, so it was cancelled. Luckily it was rescheduled on a night that me and her daddy-pop could attend!! The kids were darling. they sang joy to the world, must be santa, we wish you a Merry Christmas and happy birthday to the music teacher!! It was super cute and very memorable!

Christmas cookies

I let the kids help make christmas cookies this year - both of them. We call them thumb print cookies - we press a dent in them with our thumbs and then add the toppings! They had a ball and couldn't wait to eat them!

Especially Lucas - he walked around for the 15 mins looking like this, crying "cookies! cookies!!". fun times!

the finished product!

Santa love

I talk about this Santa almost all year. almost. he is my favorite for many, many reasons. This picture sums up why I like him so much - he seems to love what he does and takes time to talk to the kids. And my kids like him too. here are some of both of them!

the tree is up!

When we moved into our new home, we decided to get a taller tree. We thought it would be a great idea to get a pre-lit tree and was it ever! We love this tree! It goes up in minutes and all we are left to do is decorate it! Both kids were so excited this year to help decorate. I couldn't get the ornaments out fast enough. Here is the finished product! I love the tree and all our ornzments!!
