We Are All Ready...

The presents have been wrapped

Its the last day of school

The weather is crazy!

I wish it would stay cool


Its getting much closer

There is excitement everywhere

Parties and food and present galore

Children can't wait to see what Christmas morning has in store



But on that morn

Before all the hustle & bustle

Let's all take a minute to remember

That it is the day

The Son of Christ was born

Another Night of Fun...

This month has been busy! My cousin Lauren is in Piano Lab at her school. Its one of the only Piano Labs around here that is offered through school. Every year they have a recital at Acadian Village. This was Lauren's 2nd year.

Acadian Village is a cute little place. They have a town set up and they decorate it for christmas. You can go and see the lights and they have different shows. Recently, they started putting of fair rides, and they definitely add to the fun!

This just a small part of it.

She played What Child is This. It was beautiful!

While walking around, you come to these little scenes where you can take pictures. This one was really cute!

Its my cousin David and my husband Ivan (he's sucha good sport)

and here is the pianist, Lauren, with Hannah (we are all cousins)
They have been best friends since they were old enough to play together. They are only a few months apart.

They are so fun to be around. They crack me up!


We had such a fun night. I'm so glad we could make it out to hear Lauren play! Its a beautiful place to visit and we always try to go once a year. The kids enjoy it, we enjoy it. It really gets you in the mood for Christmas!

Thanks for stopping by!!!


And I certainly couldn't go over there with ALL those lights and not take any bokeh shots!!

After the Stroll...

After the stroll was over, my sister and her besties wanted to take MORE pictures. So, we hung around and snapped a few. These guys go to our church and they are just so funny and sweet!

I had forgot to clear out my memory card and actually filled it up. I would have had wayyyy more if I wouldn't have filled it up.




The three besties...
Walter, Paige, Trevor


These guys are brothers, and after I took the group pic I told them to take a picture together.
Walter, who is the little brother, did this to Trevor.
It was SO funny!

This is the real one. They insisted that I frame it this way...

When we got done, I snapped this one. I thought it came out really cool!

So, we had a blast and I'm so happy you took the time to check us out. Thanks for stopping by!

Tupperware Party & The Christmas Stroll...

Its been busy and I haven't been blogging, so I have a lot to say. And.. I'm gonna take my time, so I have blog post for the next little bit!!!

On December 3rd, I had a Tupperware party. It was my first one and it was SO fun!!!
The Tupperware Lady said it was the biggest party she had and the longest party she had.. We had some fun!! The game was so cute. We all put straws in our mouths and passed a thimble. The auctioning game was the most fun though.


Then a few nights before that we went to the Annual Christmas Stroll. The musicians from our church go there to play every year. Its wonderful. All the businesses are open and you go around and get stamps on a paper. Once you get them all you enter for a drawing to win huge baskets. We didn't get any stamps, but we did walk around and look at the different shops. Some shops even gave a way free food and hot chocolate. The kids had so much fun!


Of course, she would be the one to find the free food!!!

My family was there, so of course I took pics of all of them! We had a blast!

Paige (sister), Hannah (cousin), Lauren (cousin)

Abigail (cousin)

Morgan (niece), Ivy (s-daughter), Mariah (niece), Abigail (cousin)

Hannah, Lauren, Bobbie (aunt), Ellie (aunt), and Paige (down front)

I have a video of our musicians playing but its on my phone and I don't know how to do all that fancy stuff to transfer it here.

Thanks for stopping by!
