Santa!

Santa came to our house too while we were at Memaw and Papaw's house and brought a new art table and matching cubby shelf for her toys.

Christmas Crafts

I got pretty crafty this year over my Christmas break.  Here are my Christmas crafts...

Katie's handprints and Hannah's footprints.

Hannah's foorptint plate.  I made 2 of these.  One for Memaw and Papaw and one for Mimi and Pop.

Katie's crayon tote.  She picked out the fabric.  I asked her what color she wanted and she said yellow is her favorite color and green is her next favorite color.  I had never asked her before what her favorite color is so now I know.  :)



Rag quilt for Alyssa...

Rag quilt for Landon...

I forgot to get a picture of the quilts after I clipped them and frayed them.

Merry Christmas Part 1

This year was our year for Christmas at Memaw and Papaw's house.  We had a great time hanging out with family for a week and the girls did great.

  Look at that little Andy.  She couldn't look any more like her daddy.


I'm not sure what it is with Alexandria but almost every time we go there Katie gets sick and Hannah did too this time.  They both have pretty bad allergies just like Andy so I'm sure it's something there that they're allergic to.  Maybe something that blooms there and not at home.  They were troopers though and had lots of fun even though they had runny noses all week long, fever several days, and ear infections from all that drainage.  These little sticky gel cool packs are awesome for bringing down a fever.

Hannah was very interested in the Christmas tree.

They took good naps.  Look at that sweet smile while she's sleeping.  She must have been dreaming about how much fun she was having at Memaw and Papaw's house.  Maybe she liked the "pillow" she created for herself with her little lamb too.

After several days of being sick, when Katie finally got over her fever and started feeling better she helped me make these cute reindeer cookies I found on pinterest.  (I love pinterest!)

And Memaw got lots of good cuddle time with Hannah.

The girls loved playing together.

 Priceless smile...

Best sister hugs ever...


Papaw and Katie picked some fresh oranges from the back yard.  She loves her oranges and she loves her Papaw!
