Christmas 2008











Me and sis at Christmas...I told her I am bigger! Next, 4 wheelers and a cabbage patch doll...yes a cabbage patch doll...didn't I have several of those? Elle loves her trampoline and loves singing while jumping. I told her mommy might need to borrow it if baby Peyton decides he doesn't want to come out on time :) Last, the kids loving the Happy Birthday Jesus cake...not sure they would have shared but I am sure we didn't want any after all those fingers had been on it!


Christmas 2008













First, a visit from Santa at Bebe and Papa's. Next a fam pic and then little Ms. Ballerina in one of her many leotards. Last the Christmas dress with the turtleneck! Since we always put on princess dresses over pj's or whatever play clothes we have on and since Elle thought her Christmas dress was a princess dress it was only natural she couldn't wear it to church without a shirt underneath. So, I guess it was lucky I had a faded black turtleneck...I guess!


Watercolors Gone Wild!!




Reindeer Rudolph Cookies




Elle loved reindeers this year...especially Rudolph and I found this fun recipe in Family Fun Magazine. We had a blast and they were YUMMY!

Me and Sis


Could it be anymore amazing that we are prego at the same time?! God is so good, funny, awesome and faithful!!!

Elle is a fairy


I got a Tinkerbell costume after Halloween but all she likes are the wings...of course!

Christmas pics

They are coming!!!

9 years and counting!


We celebrated our 9th anniversary just a few weeks ago! I love Mitchell soooo much! He took me to dinner at Ashley's at the Capitol Hotel and he ordered red roses to our room! It was awesome! Then on our actual anniversay day he bought me 2 dozen pink roses! In case you think I am bragging, I am!

A little more flare :)


Elle's Mama Deb made this ballerina dress bowholder for her for Christmas....super cute!

A little flare in Elle's room


With the new baby coming, we have been re-doing Elle's room. My good friend, Barri Bridges is selling Uppercase Living and we got these cute letter and flower stickers from her. They looked really cute! Thank you Ms. Barri! -Elle

Happy Birthday Jesus!


We had a Happy Birthday Jesus Party in Elle's Sunday School Class. The kids sange Happy Birtday and we had sugar cookies (the candles didn't make it on the cookies unfortunately) and decorated party hats with nativity stickers. Elle did great! She kept wanting to sing Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus the rest of the Christmas season! It was sooo cool to see that "stick" with her.

Posing for Thanksgiving pics




Princess!!!




A bible study author I love named Angela Thomas says that in every girls life there is the "season of princess"! Well, we are in it full force! Elle LOVES princesses! If it has a princess on it she loves it! Cinderella is definitely her fav. She will tell you her daddy is her prince and that we live in a castle! She wants to get married one day just like Cinderella but we told her she has to go to college first :) She has a Cinderella dress up dress that is one day going to fall apart she wears it sooo much! She loves to dance in it and always wants us to dance with her! I try to remind myself when I am trying "to get things done" that her little princess season won't last, so I need dance when the princess asks :)
