Ahhhh....Christmas Memories


So today I was thinking back to my childhood years, Christmas time to be exact. A few things that I enjoyed being around, that my mom brought out every year is a wind up Santa that played music. I loved this thing .

As a child I would pick at the little sack that Santa was carrying. It had a small wrapped foiled present in his tulle looking sack...I thought there was a real present inside. Eventually , I teared a hole in it trying to get in it. Now I know what little kids are thinking when they "destroy" our things. Now I see that sometimes are kids aren't intentionally being destructive.

I found my Santa today on Ebay, and will purchase him. I cant wait to bring him back home.


Another item I am looking for is the Plastic Church that my mom always was proud to display every year. I loved this this thing too, I actually thought there could be people in it when she lit it. It was musical too and I plan to find one and have it out for this year.

Another 2 Birthdays Under my Belt...














Yesterday we threw Olivia's 2nd birthday and Emma's 7th birthday together. We had 37 family members come, it was a great party. The Night before I stayed up until 2 am making 2 birthday cakes, 2 mini birthday cakes (one for my Aunt nad one for my hubby mike), and 24 cupcakes. They turned out fantastic..I must say I am very proud of myself. It was the first time making birthday cakes. Emma was feeling under the weather and missed most of her birthday, poor thing. She was up for presents and cake. They both recieved so many beautiful clothes and toys. Today is Olivia's real birthday..We have no plans realy. It is a holiday today, nothing is open , and it is super gloomy outside. It is raining all day today, :(








School starts up again Wednesday, so I will be getting ready for that . It will be somewhat quiet again but I will still have the 2 youngest at home and my neice Hanna.
