Wacky Dress Day

We've had a busy month but not as busy as December (thank goodness). As you can see from the video, today was Wacky Dress Day at school and she was VERY excited about her outfit. The only potential problem is if the other kids in her class didn't dress up, I will be in BIG trouble. Trust me, I saved the note announcing the event although she can't read.

We have a fun weekend planned. We are going to Victory Junction Gang Camp on Saturday for a function. I think she will really enjoy that.

She is truly a planner after my own heart. The other day, she asked me when it would be Christmas again. I said, 11 months and she said, okay - so I don't need to have my list together yet. I told her I thought she had some time.

Right now, she obsessed with her birthday which is in April. She tells me she's going to invite every girl she knows. Oh my, that could be an expensive not to mention loud party!

Our 1st Christmas

We had a great time together and stayed VERY busy. I enjoyed the beginning of some wonderful tradtions. Thanks Jackie for posting a great idea on my last blog. I bought her first ornament this year of course I need to catch her up but for now, we have started that tradition.

I hope you all have a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

What a December! I don't think I've ever been so busy.

She spent last weekend with my parents and enjoyed her first Winston Salem snow. She had a GREAT time which is why I'm glad I bought snow gear for Christmas. I'm hoping to take her tubing at some point so she will be set to enjoy it all.

We are having brunch with Santa this weekend, going to see the lights in McAdenville and to the Billy Graham Library for their Christmas celebration. Next weekend we are having 6 or 7 girls over to decorate Christmas cookies and maybe cupcakes. Of course, I will be posting a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.

All of my shopping is done (I think) and now I just have to help Santa wrap a few things. No gift assembly in my Christmas Eve future. YES!!!!

We spent our 1st Thanksgiving together in Atlanta and had a great time. We went to the GA Aquarium for the first time. What an awesome place.

I hope that everyone has a great Christmas. If you have any fun traditions that you and your family have created throughout the years, please share them with me.

We have been very busy lately and from what I can tell, we will only get busier in the next few weeks.

We went to see MegaMinds this weekend and let me just say it should have been called MegaFlop in my opinion. Journey (the child who NEVER naps) asked me if she could go to sleep during the movie. She and several children around us kept asking if it was almost over and trust me, I couldn't wait until the answer to that question was yes!

We went to Old Salem this weekend and of course, I snapped a few pictures! She had a great time playing with Ella and we finished the evening at Mayberry's so you know she was a happy girl!

Journey and I went Christmas shopping on Saturday. This trip was for her to buy gifts for those on her shopping list. I explained that this wasn't a trip for her - that it was better to give than to receive. She was excited at first but we need a little more work for that concept to be embraced. She did a great job selecting items though. She can't wait to wrap them so this should be fun.

Nana bought us two beautiful Christmas night lights that are now up in our living room. I'm sure Christmas decorations will start making their way out of storage soon.

We'll be on our way to Atlanta soon and we are looking forward to spending some time with family. We'll be making a stop at the Atlanta Aquarium which will be a lot of fun!

I'm sure I'll post something again before Thanksgiving but if not....HaPpY ThAnKsGiViNg!!!!

Happy Halloween & Fall

Journey and I had a fun October! I thought I'd share a video so you could see some of our activities.

We went to Trunk or Treat on Saturday at Fairview UMC and had a great time.

My Dorothy and Toto were exhausted but everyone had fun!

Fun @ the Fair - Take Two

Yes, we went to the fair again this past Saturday! It was VERY crowded but fun so we can't complain. She had fun playing with Rebekah and Sarah.

She had a great weekend. She was able to spend the night with Nana and Papa and they always have fun together. They baked cookies, she ate ice cream and pancakes for dinner. I'm shocked she wanted to come home. :-)

She asked me last night if I'd ever been to Disney and said she'd like to go there next. Oh my, I think that will be a little more expensive than two trips to the fair. :-)

Fun @ the Fair

We had a great time at the fair this weekend. The whole family was able to go together.

We went to the park on Sunday and she had a lot of fun. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend.
