Christmas party 2011

I could not control myself, I know you're shocked, especially since the Halloween party was snowed out I had to have a little Christmas Party. Princesspie had a few little friends from School, Livvie, Zman and two older friends from church. They did a manger scene of paper dolls and animals it was super cute and the kiddos loved it followed by a cocao party the kids had a blast. Unfortunately some of the kiddos were on a bit of a sugar buzz the rest of the day.

CHRISTMAS 2011

Christmas was really mellow this year so laid back. Princess pie didn't really want much all she asked for was a table and chairs for her dollies and she reluctantly mentioned that only a couple of days before Christmas. So the hunt was on I found all kinds of stuff but no table and chairs sets. Of course, I could have gone out Natic to the official AG store but it takes half a day round trip and they are uber expensive the event would have been over $150 in time gas and cash. So I went to the unfinished furniture place, near my former home, where I had obtained this item for Princesspie's mom when she was little. They stopped making them years ago so I started poking around the store looking for items to use to put together something to make my little muffin happy. Well the exceptionally kind woodworker man offered to custom make a proper table and chairs for $30 to be ready on the 24th!! He made this offer on the afternoon of the 23rd a perfect little Christmas miracle just for Princesspie.

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a lovely Thanksgiving this year and the kettles came to celebrate it with us, it was lovely. I have the good fortune that both my folks are still independent and in fairly good health. We enjoy having them for the holidays and get out to see them as close to weekly as we can. Princess pie loves to go to Bessemollen's
