A few years ago there was a happy little girl...

as you can see.

She grew up to be an amazing woman and teach me almost everything I know.

I love you so much,

and I am so proud to be your daughter.

Happy Birthday on this special day.

Neighbor gifts... check.

Christmas cards... check.

Gingerbread houses... check.

Presents wrapped.... okay, that's next on my list!!

We are SO excited for Christmas around here.. only 2 more days!! :)

So fun.

The girls needed a place to hang their necklaces.. short and long.

So...

I added these cute knobs to a piece of molding and ta-da!!

Inspired me to move on to another project I've been thinking about...

Christmas presents for my sisters!  

I better get moving...

We were blessed enough to get tickets to the Christmas Devotional last night...

it was amazing.

Beautiful music, inspiring talks and the new movies... wow. 

I got up this morning and had to watch again...

Merry Christmas!! 

 Happy Halloween!!

We had witches #1 and #2, an astronaut and a

teenage party girl this year!

Of course we had to end our night with a visit to see our

favorite little skunk,

Taya - she LOVED Braden's astronaut helmet.

It was a highlight when Jared had her say 

"Luke, I am your father."

through the microphone.

She hammed it up for us.

This would be witch #2 and our teenage party girl that went all out this year, as you can see!

The night ended with the ever popular- candy sort!

Hope your Halloween was delightful!!

(And not frightful,like the snow this morning...)

Fun times.

Gooey pumpkin parts.

Kelly's tasty pumpkin seeds.

Good clean (or not) fun.

The preparation.

Tracing red bird to perfection.

Madison's intense look. :)

Kenna's nod to texting...

Cruz loves Mad's goofy jack.

Braden's angry bird.

Really? Could it be anything else? :)

And Kimbel's moustache jack... she seems to have a fascination lately! :)
