A Merry Little Christmas
My girls had an awesome Christmas morning. They are very happy with all of their new treasures.
The rest of my immediate family came over this morning for a super yummy breakfast, an annual tradition, that’s my niece with her gifts from us. I can’t wait to see her paint-by-number when it’s finished.
I baked two dozen red velvet cupcakes for Christmas dinner at my...

Preschool Style {School Christmas Party}
Amelia looked so sweet this morning, I had to snap a quick photo. Today is her last day of school before winter break, and they are having their annual Christmas party. I will be taking Maggie and helping with the party later this morning. I bought cupcakes to help get the kiddos sugared up!

We Love Christmas Vinyl.
My girls spend hours in the afternoon listening to Christmas music on vinyl. They dance, play with their Christmas plush, and try their hardest not to touch the ornaments on the tree. We have a pretty good sized collection of children’s Christmas vinyl, but their favorite is Christmas With The Chipmunks. It pretty much gets played year round.

Our photographer captured some really sweet photos of my girls at our recent wedding. I thought you might enjoying seeing some of my favorites. They were the prettiest little flower girls, and stole the show. I split the photos into two posts so it would be a little less image heavy. Enjoy!

There's a Party in my City!
This weekend, I took Amelia to see the Yo Gabba Gabba Live tour, and boy, did we have an AWESOME time! It was like going to a rave, for preschoolers, and Amelia loved every minute of it. Dj Lance was there to keep the party going, and Biz Markie was there to do a his segment, Biz’s Beat of the Day. There were many highlights, but the confetti, and paper snow they made fall from the ceiling...

A Christmas Tradition {Fancy Dresses}
Trying to get these girls to stand next to each other for one minute is impossible!
Every year, my mom buys my girls fancy Christmas dresses. It’s so much fun to have an excuse to get them all dressed up in their holiday best. Tonight, we had a reason to do just that for the annual holiday dinner in my grandmother’s community. My girls were a big hit with all of elderly...

Preschool Style {New Winter Coat}
We are in full Christmas mode, especially since the weather finally got cooler. Living in Florida, we don’t ever know what the weather will be like this time of year. Last week we were in shorts, and this week we made it into the 50’s. This morning, Amelia got to wear her new red winter coat to school. I love it so much, and so does she.
Amelia’s shirt is from Gymboree, and...

A Tricky Little Elf
On Thanksgiving night, we gave our girls a gift to open. It was the much adored Elf on a Shelf story & doll. Amelia just thinks it’s the best thing ever!
If you are familiar with the story, you know that every night the elf goes to see Santa, to give him a report about your behavior that day. When the elf returns, he finds a new spot in your home to sit. Amelia LOVES waking up each...
