12/21 Nelda's annual Christmas Party

Seems that a lot of people missed it this year because they were off hunting. Rodney ended up leaving early. Seems he got the stomach bug that Alexis and I had earlier that week. Good thing it only lasts about a day and a half that way he will be all better before my family arrives for Christmas. The girls had a blast. Alexis got a Sponge Bob Operation game and Abby got a Barbie dress up set. I think they had the most fun walking on Nelda's treadmill. LOL

11/19 Our morning with Santa

This morning the girls and I took at trip to see the "real" Santa and his reindeer. It was so cool to see the reindeer. It was really nice and we didn't have to wait long at all. Thank goodness for that because it was quite chilly outside. The girls decided that they now want a Little Pet Shop set and a Little Pony play set on top of the Easy Bake oven. Alexis said one thing was not enough to ask for from Santa, but I assured her that mommy and daddy will also be getting them gifts. I think that eased her mind.

12/13 A Cindrella Birthday Party

Yes, yet another birthday party this weekend. This weekend has been insane, but what's new. Two sister that are the same ages as my girls and are friends with them from preschool had a combined birthday party this weekend and Cinderella was the host. How exciting for the girls. So they got all dressed up and when Cinderella arrived they were so excited. She told them stories, took them on a hunt, and put makeup on them. All the girls were just adorable.

12/13 Breakfast with Santa

This morning we had breakfast with Santa at the Zone in Frisco. It was pretty cool. The girls had been super excited since they have known about it since Thanksgiving. They had a buffet and then Santa's helpers came to our table and sang Rudolpf The Red Nose Reindeer. Doreen and Tyler joined us as well. After breakfast the kids got their faces painted, got to jump in the jump houses and slides, got a balloon dog and flower and last but not least they got to play some video games as well and win tickets. They made sure to tell Santa they want an easy bake oven for Christmas.

12/11 Girl Scout Christmas Party

I hosted the Daisy Girl Scout Christmas party at my house. The girls had a ton of fun. They had a book exchange, attempted to make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers (I say attempted because they didn't exactly go together in the way that we hoped, but at least the girls still had fun and had lots of treats to eat). And the mom's had a cookie exchange. It was a lot of fun with snacks and great new friends. My house even managed not to become destroyed by a house full on little girls.

Oh, and Abby doesn't usually attend the meetings with Alexis so she was very excited to be part of the girl scout troop tonight. She fit in just perfect. She even knows the girl scout promise.

Followed cookie making with a birthday party

Abby was invited to a Pink Pony party from a friend from school. Alexis got to come as well and they had a great time. They had a little petting zoo in the back yard and a pink pony to ride. The girls had a lot of fun. The bunnies were their favorites, the pig, well it says it itself, was a pig and took huge bites of the carrots and the goats were just greedy. What a neat little birthday party.

12/6 Time to make Christmas Cookies

The girls and I made Christmas cookies today for the two cookie exchanges that were coming up. They just love to cook and were great helpers. I think they really enjoy eating the cookie dough most of all.
