Yumm are those for Santa or for me?!

This was Kennedy's first year taking part in baking Christmas cookies! Last year I baked some and decorated them (for my own benefit) but this year she got to help!! We decided to include the grandparents in this fun/messy event! They had just as much fun as Kennedy did or should I say enjoyed the finished product...getting to eat them!

Yikes, we got a little messy!! Papa T sneaking a cookie!

She LOVED the icing!

DD (AKA Grandaddy!)

Checking out the finished product....which one so we want first??!!!

I Got mom to snap a quick family picture in all of our Christmas apparel before we went into church! Unfortunately, Kennedy was trying to eat her peppermint (that a nice gentlemen always gives her EVERY Sunday as we're walking into church) so she wasn't looking.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Disney Trip!

3 nights and 4 days at Disney and mommy is completely tired out! We managed to squeeze in Mickey's very Merry Christmas party (the first night) Magic Kingdom(the next day), MGM (the following morning with a character breakfast) and Animal Kingdom(that afternoon)! phew....what a weekend! 4 toddlers under the age of 2 was A LOT of work but it was probably one of the best trips of my life! We had a blast and can't wait to have many more trips to Disney!

Maybe the next trip I will not take 800 pictures either!! I couldn't resist it!

This is right before the parade!

Traci and I

Waiting for the parade!

Kennedy singing for us!

They were looking at the FAKE snow! As you can see I said FAKE because it was 90 degrees there! That was the only downfall.....the extremely warm weather!

The wilderness lodge!

Magic Kingdom

It took her a few minutes to warm up to Mickey and Minnie but after that she loved them!

I loved Disney SO much! It's just such a happy place.....I think my husband with agree too! He loved it!


On, to Christmas.....

I still have shopping to do, I need to take Kennedy to see Santa, I still want to make candy ( I did manage to make some cookies with the grandparents tonight...post pics tomorrow!) I still have lots of Christmas card to mail out and I feel like Christmas is coming too fast!! Christmas slow down please!! I love this time of the year but it always creeps up on me!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Work Christmas Party!

Last year we started a tradition for our Christmas party! Instead of having dinner at someones house or going to dinner (well, we do that too) we started having a shopping Christmas party! We spent the day at the mall and shopped until we dropped! Not so much for ourselves but for Christmas. We had a blast!

Me, Traci (Traci doesn't work with us but she likes part of the family!), Janet and Tammy.

Me and the boss lady....who happens to be my mom! What an awesome boss I have!

On a side note:

We're headed to Disney this weekend!! WHOOOO HOOOO! I'm too excited! I haven't been to Disney sense the 5Th grade (I'm 25..you can do the math..lol) and Adam hasn't been sense his senior year of high school. I'm sure it has had a lot of updates sense then!

We're going to Mickey's very Merry Christmas and park hoping to all of the Disney parks! We have a busy but very exciting weekend planned!.......And did I forget to mention we're going with friends and we'll have 4 kids under the age of 2! We might need some prayer too!! LOL!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Christmas Card Pictures!

After weeks of thinking about and of planning to takes Christmas card pictures it finally happened! I've been talking about it for a couple weeks now but every weekend something came up! And this weekend I was determined to take them. Late Friday night Kennedy got super sick with a 24 hour stomach bug. Poor baby was so sick but recovered quickly! I wouold say she's almost back to normal!! So, we gave it a shot today and was hoping for one decent family shot.

Here are a few from today!

Thank you Grammy for making me such a cute outfit!!

After going through all of the pictures we decided on this one! Kennedy was semi smiling and I love how simple it is!

Wordless Wednesday!
