Christmas Morning!

By -
Santa came! Charlie was worried that Santa wouldn't bring him any presents. In fact, our conversation went something like 
Charlie: Santa not bring me any presents
Me: Santa isn't going to bring you anything?
Charlie: No, I sad he not bring me any presents.
Me: Really? None?
Charlie: Christmas is soon. I sad.
Well, I would say that Santa remembered each of them quite well.

Sarah Graves was really wanting more Barbie toys this year. She was very clear that she wanted a Barbie cruise ship. That was her first request and she stuck with it. She also got a Barbie babysitter set complete with a baby that wets its diapers when you feed it water, an astronaut Barbie, and a mermaid Barbie. Her other things included a set of magnet toys, an Elsa doll that sings, and some small Frozen dolls.

Charlie asked for Olaf and books. He received a stuffed Olaf with a blanket, a set of Caillou books, and a new book about a train. He also got a set of power tools that make noises, a gas pump for his Cozy Coupe, a Go Go Smart Wheels train set, and a set of magnet toys. 

To share, Santa brought them a food cart filled with wooden food for a hot dog stand or an ice cream stand. He also brought a set of Duplos and play tunnels.








Sarah Graves picked out an ornament with Tigger on it for Charlie and she was so proud to give it to him. I think he knew it too and he loves it. It has a pull string and moves. He just marvels at it.

Maw Maw and GG went together and got them a trampoline for the basement! It is 8 feet in diameter and about 18 inches off the ground. They love being able to get on and off so easily and it's big enough that they can really jump without falling off. Lots of fun!

Frozen Party Details

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

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
