Grinch, Parties and Hear comes Santa Claus!

We put up our tree in our new house a few weeks after Thanksgiving.  Adam finally let me buy a pre-lit this year and I was SO happy.  It turned a usual 7 hour job into 2 hours!  Parker is extremely interested in the tree and lets just say it is a few ornaments short already.  Can't blame him though ;)  It is a huge shinny thing in the middle of the room! 

We got to go see The Grinch at the Hobby Center December 5th.  It was really cute to see the kids all dressed up to see their very first Musical.  Rylee was well behaved for the most part but had a break down towards the end. Didn't go exactly as planned but it was still really cool. They actually made it snow inside the theater which was by far their favorite part!  Hopefully every Christmas season I get the chance to take my girl to a show.

They love Kay Kay!

They were just a tiny bit impatient ;)
 We had two Birthday parties in early December and they were probably Rylee's favorite to attend thus far.  The first one was her friend Cadence's Princess party.  They had a horse drawn carriage and Cinderella actually showed up!!!  Not sure if we can top that but now Rylee names a different Disney Princess almost every day that she has decided she wants at her 5 year old Birthday party!  GREAAAAAT  ;)  It was really fun though and to top it off the girls got to ride on on the carriage with Cinderella and dress up in Disney Princess attire.  Super cute!




The second was Addison's Storybook Cottage party.  It was the cutest little place that couldn't have been more girly if you tried!  They got to dress up in any attire they choose, get their nails painted, put on a fashion show and even have a tea party while decorating cupcakes.  It was ADORABLE.  Even Cole and Cooper got to participate by dressing up in super hero costumes ;)  Addison and Rylee have been friends since birth and it is hard to believe that Addi is already 5!!!  That means Rylee will be 5 soon.  AHHHHH it is happening too fast for me.  They always say "enjoy it because it will fly by" and well....... isn't that the truth!!!




We have had a few family Christmas parties as well  (Johnson's and The Walden's), and the kids have had a blast at each. They even got to open a few gifts already!  I love love love getting to see my extended family and it makes me so sad that I only see most of them once a year :(    I have such great memories of all the gatherings over the years and hopefully the kids will too.

We ALSO had the 3rd annual Crystal Clear Mortgage Christmas party!  I can not believe this is the third year.  They are doing so amazingly well right now.  I am so very proud of you babe.  I knew you could do it!!!!! :)  

Parker has actually shown some interest in TV these days.  He likes to climb on top of the coffee table or couch and watch.  It makes me nervous since he could totally fall off the back if he isn't careful but every time I take him off he just gets right back up.  It is cute because Rylee used to do the exact same thing. 

Rylee brought a plastic shoebox in our room that was holding Barbie stuff.  It was broken and she blammed it on Parker.  When Adam told her Santa was watching and she better not be lying (knowing that Parker had been in our room the whole time), she said "well okay it might have been me".  Funny girl.
