All I want for Christmas...

So Hailey has been waiting to see Santa and ask him for a FurReal dog.  She was unsure of her final choice this fall when she had to chance to meet him during his recovery at his vacation house...yes, mommy was his therapist and rehabed him back to good health so he could return to the North Pole!

So, this evening I took the girls to see the new & improved Santa at Vally View Mall.  I knew Lindsey would either LOVE sitting on Santa's lap w/ her big sister, or absolutely HATE it....  Can you guess?  Yep, choice #2...the claw marks in my arms speak louder than words!

The line wasn't long, but Hailey still took up about 5 other kids time with her long list of "things to tell Santa."


She began with #1 ~ what I want for Christmas:  She told him all about this dog that walks & barks...BUT ISN'T REAL!  I think Santa was a bit confused, but shook his head anyway and told her, "no promises, but if you're a good little girl & obey your mommy & daddy maybe your dog will be under your tree Christmas morning.  Then...Hailey wasn't finished with her list, explained that Lindsey was too little to tell him what she wanted, so Hailey would HAVE to explain.  She told him, "Lindsey wants the snow to come, daddy wants a magazine & mommy wants a clean white sink."  WHAT?! ...a clean white sink?  I think my cleaning habits must be rubbing off...!

So it was time for the picture and once again, I attempted to sit Lindsey on Santa's lap...not gonna happen!  So, the generous Santa, let mommy sit on his "good knee" and hold Miss Lindsey...who thought the camera lady was...ummm, interesting, but apparently NOT funny!  Ringing bells & squeezing squeaky toys...no smile from Lindsey, just a look of, "that lady is crazy!"...

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
