On the EVE

It's time to make cookies for Santa...this year, we did not forget the eggs....Santa is going to be pretty pumped, chocolate chip bars...YUM!  I had a kitchen supervisor, she thought, she knew what was going on.

She didn't supervise long...before she was asking for a hot chocolate break and then demanded additional hot cocoa's for Red Heads that weren't even helping.

Quick pose before bed....cuties.

Lilly preparing to say farewell for the year.

Bowling and Beating sisters' bootie!

When Christmas break hits, the girls get a little stir crazy and we have to get a little creative with some entertainment.  Ellison had earned a free bowling pass a day during December, so we decided to give it a whirl.  Let's just say we had one thrilled Red Head.....

This is how a winner handles herself....that's right....

This is how a LOSER handles herself.....yep, little sister showed her up...

Dad please let me hide from the defeat I am experiencing.  I can't even face them.

Did someone say Starbucks?

What she puts on when I tell her we are making a quick Starbucks run....guess we are going thru the drive thru...

Let's PLAY

It's Christmas Play time!!  This would be Hads last Christmas play...she got an extension from Ms. Amy even though she is in Youth now.  She loves the stage.  

She was quite excited about the play.

These two things could not be more different.

House full of CRAZIES

It's present time with the bestie.

It's also present time from my Mama....isn't she pretty....and so shiny.

.....and then it was time to make slime outside...because it is messy, and it was Wayne's idea to let them and I wanted to beat them all.

Precious girls the next morning ready for Church.  I have now forgiven them for the mess that ensues from slime making.

My BIGS ready for Church....note Grace is sitting down and she is almost as tall as Hadley....but wait for it...

Yep....that much taller.

Els couldn't miss  out on a photo op with Gracie.

About to walk out the door and I look over and see this...I don't have a clue what she is doing.
