Super Girl To The Rescue

Taylor & her cousin Justin are always playing the roles of Spider Man and Super Girl.  To the extent that when they get together at Nana's they literally talk to each other using those names....ALL DAY LONG!!

So this year, I had the greatest idea.  I bought the two of them, Spider Man & Super Girl outfits.

I wish the following pictures would even do justice to the excitement on both of their faces.

Christmas at Uncle Adams & Auntie Ambers

I wish I could express the appreciation I have for Uncle Adam & Auntie Amber.....these two love my kids...what I believe sometimes....just as though they were their own.

We had Christmas with them a little early and boy were the girls HAPPY.

And just as lip gloss was a HUGE success at Grandmas...so was it at Auntie Ambers....just look at the pure joy on her face

Uncle Adam joining in the fun...she really wanted to put the lip gloss on him, but he flat refused!!

But, was more than happy to help Tori apply hers
 

And there is NOTHING like a lip gloss kiss....these girls had more lip gloss on their lips and just kept applying more...and more...and more
  

And they saved the best for last....matching, pink, princess scooters.  The funniest part....they were almost arguing over who was going to get them and bring them out for the girls to see!!
  

Taylor is the funniest thing when it comes to clothes...she LOVES them.  Every time she gets some new ones, she can't wait to put them on.  And of course, Tori is always so quick to "copy"  her sister's every action
  

And maybe the next best part....was Auntie Amber letting them take all the balls off the tree and play with them.  Good thing she bought the shatter proof ones!!  This is a HUGE no no at home!

To Uncle Adam & Auntie Amber.....Thank You for ALL that you do, for loving my kids at times as though they were your own, for being such an important part of our lives & for giving of your time, energy & efforts to help make Christmas such a wonderful time of the year.  You guys are loved beyond measure!!

Worth It All

Well it's been a longggggg time coming....but, it's finally finished and just in time for the best Christmas surprise EVER.

An Early Christmas

The girls and I spent the entire afternoon today having an early Christmas.  We started off at Grandma Benton's house where we were going to have lunch and then open presents....BUT....we ended up opening presents first and then eating lunch....no surprise there!!

Taylor had not seen the present we got Grandma so needless to say, she had to open for her!!

This is what a simple tube of lip gloss will get you

And as always....Grandma makes a killer grilled cheese....and tomatoes!!

Aren't Grandmas the BEST

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Most of you already know, but I'm posting it anyway.....I FINALLY PASSED THE CPA EXAM

To absolutely no credit of my own, I give 100% praise, honor & glory to God

Thanks to everyone who has stood behind me, prayed with me & in any way helped me along the way.  I love you all.



Sweet Girls

The girls and I spent all day at Nana's today...and somehow I managed to get this shot of Taylor & Hannah!!

Have You Ever Seen A Reindeer Princess

Well, if you've never seen one before....here you go!!

And the best part....she is soooooo proud to be one!!

It's A Crying SHAME....

I ran my third half marathon Saturday at Pier Park (Run For The Redfish)....and posted my best time EVER....AND DON'T HAVE A SINGLE PICTURE TO SHOW FOR IT.  But for a small glimpse of how far we've come on our running....we ran this same race last year but only did the 5K (3.1 miles) and couldn't even run the entire thing.  What a difference a year can make!!

Tiny Tots Parade

The day care had their annual tiny tots parade on Friday and I was privileged enough to get to help.  I actually got to pull Tori & her friend Lauren in the wagon.  A huge thanks to Barbara for catching a couple pics along the way.

Taylor and one of her two favorite friends....Allison.  Which by the way, I think they make the CUTEST little reindeer.
