Breakfast with Santa

We had the coolest experience this year! We went to Seville Country Club with our good friends the Palmers and had breakfast with Santa. This was not any everyday breakfast and visit with Santa. The brunch buffet was amazing... we are talking anything and everything you could think of. Mike loved the seafood bar, prime rib, omlette bar etc.. The kids loved the kid section which consisted of chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, little hot dogs, cereal, donuts etc... They totally catered to your every need. Miss A goes to school with her friend and Miss M went to preschool with her friend... they have kept in touch.

After a very yummy breakfast we headed to the North Pole on a special train... Such a fun ride. When we got there we went to Santa's waiting room :-) . Santa's elves had different crafts and games for the kids while they waited for their special one on one time with Santa.

A Christmas Gathering...

So, being in our new house for our first Christmas I felt the need to host a gathering... I would have loved a large gathering but by the time I thought to do this I needed to keep it simple... so thanks to our close friends and some of our family that was able to stop in... We had a good time... yummy Honeybaked Ham dinner, games, firepit and samores, etc... It was the perfect way to celebrate the season on a Saturday night...

The life of the party getting ready to celebrate her first Christmas!

The bonfire was a hit and the kids loved roasting marshmellows and making samores!

Christmas Spectacular Featuring the Rocketts

We had the opportunity to go see the New York City Rocketts with Miss M's Brownie Troop this year... The girls had so much fun... Our seats were way up high which we were worried about when we got there, but it ended up being incredible.. you could see so much more from up high. The kids had a blast and it was such a treat. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching Little One.. it was a late night.. would have been too much for her!

Limo to Lunch!

Thanks to all who supported Miss M's qwest for cookie dough sales! To get to go on a limo ride and out to lunch she had to sell 300.00 worth of cookie dough! She sold 308.00 worth. So off on a limo ride around the neighborhood she went and then on to Barro's Pizza for lunch with the principal! She had a blast!

here comes the limo!

Miss M and her friends that also got limo to lunch

off she goes!

Crazy socks!

Miss A was so excited to have crazy sock day at school... it's the little things right? :-) Daddy was out of town so we had to make sure to get pics which means we get to share them all with you too! :-)

The bginning of a 2 month update

Hoping everyone had a joyous and magical holiday season... This year our holiday season started with Thanksgiving at Carrie and Mario's... we of course woke up and watched the Macys Day Parade which has become a tradition for my girls just as it was a tradition for my sister and I... The kids get so excited while watching and it makes you feel like a kid again. We did not have to worry about making dinner this year so we had a very relaxing morning which was something desperatly needed for all of us. This fall has been a whirwind and full of travel, activities etc.

Here are the girls watching the parade... (Miss M and Little One are still in PJs)... Miss A could not wait to get her new outfit for Thanksgiving on... so, she put that on at 7am!

We finally got ourselves going and made our way our for Thanskgiving dinner. We had our first deep fried turkey... it was good and made in like 45 minutes.. You cannot beat that! A fun day was had by all!
