Days 9 - 12

Yes the whole "Activity A Day" went spiraling down. Too much going on at the moment. But some days, we do get around to doing something festive...

Day  9 - Nothing Christmas-y here. Had dinner with friends
Day 10 - Baked yummy gingerbread cookies! Thanks Betty Crocker mix :)


 
 


 Day 11 - Played outside with friends and drew pictures of snow men, Christmas trees and Santa with chalk! (which of course I didn't get pictures of)


 getting traced * the Minnie twins! :)


Day 12 - Wrote a letter to Santa....with a little help from Mommy.




We also helped our friends make a Gingerbread house - on Monday I believe. And that was tons of sugary fun! Lol. More to come...

Day 7 & 8: Pictures & a Birthday Tea!

Day 7: I'm not gonna lie...it's tough doing something every single day for the 25 Days of Christmas. And on this day, our plans actually changed. Although we may have had hot chocolate for breakfast, family pictures were on the agenda for today. BUT we heard about a great deal from a friend where a local church was taking FREE Family Photos for Active Duty and Retired military. Now Seth being neither of those, I had to email and ask if we could be a part of the event, and luckily, they said YES! So this 7th Day of Christmas activity, did not actually take place until Day 8!

So here's a sneak peek at what our Christmas card will look like...


 Me & my love - 7+ years together! :)

 Suri didn't really smile for any of them, but she still looks cute! And of course our lil Sof is pretty in pink!

Suri's Birthday Tea Party

Suri received a super cute Disney Princess Tea Set from her Gram that looked just like Mrs. Potts from Beauty and the Beast. So we decided to invite three of her little friends over for a birthday tea party! It was lots of fun and the girls had a great time hanging out with each other and playing! These have basically been Suri's friends since she was 6 months old - so we'll be very sad to say good-bye to them in a few days! But before I get all weepy, take a look at all the Princess fun!

 Our door sign...Be our Guest!

 Princess decorations galore!

 dance, dance!

 Kaitlyn, Megyn, Imani, Sofia & the birthday girl, Suri!

 YUM!

 Daddy opened up her doll & she was so excited! * Gram helped make awesome favor bags & each girl got a plush doll of their favorite princess! Suri got another Cinderella :)

 puzzles & a bag filled with Princess goodies!

It was a truly special birthday for our little Princess & we're so happy that she had a wonderful time with her friends!
