Christmas

****If you want to see the pictures bigger just click on them to see them closer***

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. As always Caden was obsessed with Polar Express and was very concerned about being asleep when Santa comes, not so much the being good but he tried. Macey just came along for the ride.

This year I decided to be very ambitious and sew it up. I wanted to make stockings that would last us for years and I am very pleased with them. They look scrappy yet traditional. I hand stitched the names on them. They were really fun to make.

She knew she was adorable and was just eating it up at Church.

The children in their sunday best. I got Macey's last year on clearance and it had fur that I actually took off. They are so adorable!!

Caden always gets so spoiled by his Grandma and Grandpa Connie and Larry from Iowa. This year was no different he as you can tell loved all his presents from them.

Christmas Jammies they were both so cute. Macey was walking around with a bell on her neck all night.

Christmas Morning Caden was so excited and Macey...fast asleep and we left her that way. I dont think she woke up til 9:30. Caden was ecstatic to open EVERYTHING.


Everyone came over for presents and a big delicious dinner. It's near impossible to get all of them looking.

Caden's Super Mario Party

I know I am so behind but better late then never right???

Caden everyear has a different obsession this last year was Super Mario Bros.
So of course we went with that for his birthday party. He really wanted all his cousins, school friends and bradley to be there.

Here he is opening his presents from us on his actual birthday

I made Mario hats for the boys and bought tiaras for the girls. They started coloring pictures first and then we played some games. If you dont know much about Mario they wont make sense.

1st game was Musical chairs and you could sit in the chair if it had a M or L but if there was bad guy spikey your out and when your out you go get gold coins

2nd game Carry yoshi's Egg. We hard boiled an egg and they had to carry it around the chairs and when they were done they could get gold coins.

3rd was Ghost. Like Red light Green light. If the Ghost was looking red light if he wasnt go for the end line and get gold coins.

4th game was like hot potatoe but hot fireball.

At the end the kids received gold Stars

Then we had cake and cupcakes. Caden wasnt biggie cupcakes and 1-up cakes. My mom had cookie cutters from the 80s that were super mario so we made sugar cookies out of them and then we got chinese box's to make ? mark goodie bags. Overall I think it went well some hiccups but Caden had fun.
