Advent Calendar!!

My sister Jennie found an Advent calendar in the Pottery Barn catalog. It was $70.00!! We decided that we could make one that would be cheaper (and cuter!). It ended up costing about $12.00! Not including the many hours, especially since the glue wouldn't hold and I had to blanket stitch around all 25 pocket!! It turned out awesome and hopefully my kids will enjoy it for many years to come.

My mom made one for Kris and I when we were little, so we added some of the ones we could remember from our childhood. The train, doll, dog. It was alot of fun to work on this with my sisters!

Helping with the Christmas Lights!

As I was putting up our tree, Sophie crawled over and kept playing with the lights. She was so fascinated with them! She kept wrapping them around herself and singing. She is so much fun! She is attempting to walk. Soon she will be mobile and getting into everything! So worth it!

Pee-Wee Lamb show

Lainey was old enough this year to participate in the Pee-Wee lamb show. She was a bride and her lamb was the groom. She won runner-up for most original costume. I start planning next years costume as soon as the show is over. If anyone has an idea, let me know.

When Cooper was younger he won every year but one. He has been a sailor with a hula girl, a soldier with Sadam "on the lamb", a train conducter, missionaries,Old Ephriam and Mr. Clark. It is alot of fun, but getting harder to come up with original stuff!! Cooper showed a pig this year and got a blue ribbon and sold his pig for $850.00!! More money for college,
