Merry Christmas!

I really liked our Christmas card this year!


Santa came!  SG's big wishes were a bike and the Bitty twins!  Charlie didn't verbalize any wishes so Santa guessed a toy wagon, boy baby doll, singing Mickey, or dump truck would be favorites.

The bike with a seat for her baby and an Ariel helmet were a huge hit!

His car ride on was the first thing he went to.

She got a princess play tent from Maw Maw that they both love!

Toy guitars for both were a hit.

A cowgirl dress up set was fun for a bit...

Pulling his baby in his wagon - after he tried to wedge himself in the wagon!

We all had coordinating Christmas pjs and I forgot to get a photo of us all together!

We had a relaxing time at our house with Aunt Nay there to look at Santa and open some presents.  We enjoyed a tasty breakfast of sausage balls and pigs in a blanket thanks to Nay as well as a healthy dose of candy from our stockings!  Then, we made the quick trip to Mom and Dad's for presents with them and a lunch that was perfection.

Lollipop drums just like Ms. Jennifer's are fun!


Trying out Sissy's helmet!  So much cuteness!

Pops picked out some surprises and this rocking horse was a hit!  Go Home Depot!  We bleed orange!

Pops and Sissy did their Black Friday shopping together and he snuck in some surprises for her!  The best was when she opened a suitcase that he told her was for Aunt Nay!  She was shocked that he tricked her!

Mom made a fabulous lunch of beef tenderloin, twice baked potato casserole, green beans, and pralines that were divine!  
Such a wonderful day celebrating all that is good and seeing so much joy.  So glad to live so close and be able to celebrate together - that is a real gift.

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
