Fun and Festive!

By -

 December was incredibly rainy and the weather had everyone down. We finally had a Saturday with a slight chance of rain, so we grabbed the opportunity to have a fun and festive Saturday!

We started off watching Olivia and her class perform Christmas carols!
Olivia rocked her songs and her motions!


Next, we headed to Ponce City Market for lunch and iceskating! We had been promising the kids to go skating and this was an awesome place to do it. The rink was small, but it wasn't crowded and the views of the city were cool!









 Since we were already up on the roof, we had to give the giant slide a go!



We had to have pic in front of this sign with the line from Home Alone

We kept our fun and festive day going and headed to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags! 
Charlie wasn't feeling it on many pictures, but he had a good time. Some of the best parts were short lines making it easy to ride Mind Bender 3 times without getting off and riding Harley Quinn a couple of times with no wait! We also caught one of their Christmas shows, "Because of Christmas" and watched the tree lighting! 
This is my favorite Christmas activity and I am so glad we got to do it!















This was such a fun day! The music and lights everywhere we went helped to fill me with Christmas spirit!

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
