Merry Christmas!

~Here are a few "snip-its" from our family's Christmas~

 

~Snoopy~

~He is the oldest ornament I have on my tree~

~My parents picked him up at Knott's Berry Farm in the 60's~

    

~The kiddies in front of the Tree~

 ~Every year we have a small memorial for Ryan's brother Micheal, who passed away in 2001~

~Each of the family members light a candle in memory~

~Anyone who wishes to shares a memory or story of Michael~

~It makes for great laughs, full tears, and a very cherished tradition of shared memories~

~Frosty the Penguin ~

 

DIY Christmas Gift

~What do you buy the Girl that wants everything and yet plays with nothing?~

~DIY FAKE MAKE UP~

~First take the real make up~

 

~Then remove it from the case~

 

~I was able to find some cheep nail polish.  8 of them for $5 at walmart~ 

~I then poured it into the now empty case & let it fully dry~

~ My finished product~

~Emerson (4 yrs) will have a make up set waiting for her under the Christmas tree 

that she can play with for hours~

~And I don't have to worry that she is making a mess 

because once the nail polish drys it is hard as a rock~

~I recommend that you use a well ventilated area 

and give them a day or two to air out the nail polish smell~

8 Days Old

~a childhood family friend of my Husband had a Gorgeous baby girl~

~ I was able to intrude on this adorable family 

after only 8 days of her being born~  

~ she makes me want to have another one~
~if only I didn't have to be pregnant~
~and they would stay this small~
