Holiday Fun!

Things have been busy around these parts... birthday parties, minion visits, girls night out and lots of Christmas movie viewings!  Tis the Season!


Reagan received a special visitor this week with a very special letter informing her of making Santa's Nice list. She was ecstatic!  And huge thanks to our neighbors for putting this together for the Littles. I love our 'hood.








Rea had lots of fun celebrating her friend's birthday at the Science Center last week!




Reagan was invited to attend her daycare provider's Christmas party... she had so much fun seeing her old friends! And she was surprised how big the babies had grown!  Thanks Jacque, she had a great time!




And a sweet ornament she made for us- we love it!







The 'elusive' snuggle time with my baby girl watching Christmas movies... I cherish these moments.



And finally some much-needed mommy time! A trip to Omaha with my girls- we did lots of exploring!  Shopping and eating along the way...always a wonderful time! So thankful for my Soul sisters!












And a girls night out Christmas edition- just like old times!  We enjoyed a fun night at Eatery A- one of my favorites!!







Only 7 more days until Christmas!  Better go wrap some gifts...

*Under Construction*

It's that time of year when we get out the gingerbread kit and attempt to construct a cute lil candy house.

We don't have a good track record of the house standing longer than 24 hours but we sure do have fun eating frosting and candy!

Note to self: Do not buy a Nerds candy house next year. I'll be sweeping Nerds candies up for the next month.

Annual Santa Visit

I called ahead.
No lines.
We made it just in time... SANTA!



No fear!



She asked for Legos and um... this thing.



Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas fun!


We attempted a new craft Saturday night with friends which actually turned out really fun. Ice cream cones, green frosting and sprinkles to decorate- Christmas trees!















Sunday, we headed to Bass Pro for our annual Santa visit with friends but the lines were long and the wait was even longer so we checked out the scenery, had fun making a craft and scheduled for next time.

Reagan actually handled it quite well and said, 'Let's go home and bake cookies!'  So that's what we did.


All dressed up with no Santa to see...






She loves using Gpa Scott's rolling pin!









I love comparison shots... time flies!


Happy Holidays!

Game Day

Sometimes, even when you lose, you win.

Our team played their hearts out for the championship but it just wasn't meant to be.  Despite their loss, you can't deny the greatness of an undefeated season.  I'm so proud to be a Hawkeye!


Future cheer squad:












They came downstairs to see what all the yelling was about and decided to watch...



All tuckered out from cheering on the team...



Now on to a bowl game!
