Make-Up Mishap

I went to the mall with Lauryn to grab a few last minute things for Christmas, and of course she wanted to go into Sephora to look around. While I wasn't looking, someone got into the samples they have all over the store. And of course she stuck her little finger in them and wiped them on her face to be "pretty." Haha, she's so cute. I love this girl so much!

Candy Cane Lane With Grandmas

I love holidays things/events. Candy Cane Lane is one of them. We go every year, and it's always so fun. Some people are lazy and drive through, but I prefer to walk it.

 For one, you can buy all the yummy snacks they sell along the way if you walk. Katie got a cupcake that looked like Rudolph. So cute!

 One of the houses even had a stage. Pretty cool.

 Of course Katie the star needed to shine up there. She's the best.

 So true, lol.

 The people that lived in this house, really had the last name Grinch. So they worked with it, and made their whole yard into a Grinch theme, including the song playing as you walked by.

 And hey, pay $2 and you can get your picture taken with the Grinch!

 I think this house was Katie's favorite. It had the Disney Princesses. The only problem was most of them were covered with plastic. I wonder if it rained recently down here. So pretty though.

 It even had Tinkerbell dangling, I mean, flying through the air.

 Peter Pan and Captain Hook fighting up on the balcony.

Pretty fun night. I think I'll come back next year ;p

A Present For Mommy

Katie's first school Christmas present she made me. She even decorated the wrapping :p

O Christmas Tree, Why Do You Hate Me?

I was baby-sitting the girls, so I took them to Wal-Mart with me to get a Christmas tree. I do not like the fake one David bought us, I like real ones. So since he's not heerree ;) I took the fake one to work for my kiddos to enjoy, and bought Katie and I a real one. I let the girls pick out a few ornaments for the tree, and it looked like we were going to have one pink Christmas tree this year. lol.

 My problem. I couldn't get the tree to stay up. Thankfully when Anthony came to pick up the girls, he offered to go get me a new, bigger tree stand. So I gave him my card and he set it up for me when he got back too =)

 He even helped me put the lights on. Then Katie and I were able to decorate it with our ornaments.

 My little superstar.

 Picked this up while we were visiting David in Washington.

 "Reading" her autograph book in front of the tree.

I love Christmas. Glad Katie has a tree. Now time for presents to go under it!

Decorating My Classroom

I had to hurry and get my room ready for Christmas, so we could have Santa come in our classroom after the class performance, and have a pretty background for photos. Katie was with me of course, so she posed for me after we finished =)

Yo Gabba Gabba Party!

Katie and I got invited to a birthday party. Someone I went to school with had a son turning 1 and sent us an invitation in the mail. I figured why not? Katie likes birthday parties. The invitation  requested we wear a Yo Gabba Gabba color since that was the theme, but I did one better and ordered us character shirts. I asked Katie which one was her favorite and she said Plex. Didn't even know she knew his name, she's only seen the show once or twice, she never really got into it. She was more of a Wubbzy girl.

She had fun in the bouncer.

 Played pin the eye on the red guy. lol, I don't know his name :p

 

 Coloring contest.

 And the pinata! Girl has a good arm!

A group shot. The birthday boy's Grandma sewed character aprons for her daughter and all her friends to wear to the party. Katie joined in on the mix since she matched :p

Pretty fun party. She put a lot of effort and money into it, so many personalized decorations and details. I'm glad Katie had a fun time, I wasn't sure since the birthday kid was a 1 year old boy who she'd never met before, but she did good =)

Katie's Preschool Christmas Program

Katie's preschool class put on a Christmas performance for the parents. They sang a few songs up on stage in their fancy Christmas clothes. They had been practicing for a while at school. Katie looked like a beautiful angel.

 She was having fun.

 The hand movements for the song they were signing, so cute!

 After the show was over, her teacher handed out candy canes to the kids for doing a good job. Needless to say, Katie was excited to get one.

She did a good job, really cute. I love going to her school events.
