Syd's Birthday was kinda a bummer for her. She was so sick. Just kept throwing up all day long. I am so happy that Syd is MY girl. She is so sweet and nice and talented. I couldn't imaging my life without her. She is now 9 years old and looking so grown up. She got new clothes from Justice for her birthday and a spa factory where she can make lip gloss and perfume.
This is our annual Christmas breakfast. Egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, OJ, potatoes, and bacon and martinellis. Of course we use "the Santa" mugs which are only taken out on Christmas Day. We had a yummy breakfast!!!
Grandma sent us a gingerbread house. The kids could hardly wait to put it together. We had so much fun, I had to put aside my OCD and let the kids assemble it and load it with candy. So what if it isn't the "perfect" house, they had fun and that's all that matters.
This year Jon decided that he was too old to sit on Santa's lap. He was SO not excited for this photo opportunity. My kids are growing up way too fast. Bennett was SOOOO stinkin' excited.
Payson's Birthday was December 18th. She wanted a huge extravagant party. We were able to come to a compromise and do a cooking party. I made chef hats and aprons. The girls made personal pan pizzas and gingerbread houses. The houses didn't quite turn out, but they had fun decorating the cookies nonetheless. All in all it turned out great. While the girls were eating their pizzas they decided to smash their FACES into their pizzas, covering their faces with grease. GROSS!!! We has a blast and it was by far the easiest party ever!!!
