:O Christmas Tree

Dec 12 ~ We finally got our Christmas tree!  We decided to wait a little bit longer this year, not knowing if we would be chasing Lindsey down every second and also remembering last year ~ the year our tree died. Yes, we literally had to cut it apart inside to remove it & ugh... cleaning up pine needles from the moment we bought it, until...well, this year!


To our amazement, Lindsey has not tried to pull it over, take the ornaments off or hang on the limbs! YAY!  As a matter of fact, from the moment we plugged in the lights to make sure they worked, she cheered saying, " yaaay...lights...bubbles!"  Also, the tree gave her a great hiding place for one of her newest fav games.  "Peek-e-boo..." as she says.



  Hailey was a great help this year decorating the tree without me having to worry about her hooking herself with the ornaments this year...she even made some homemade ornaments & decorated with some of her hairbows...hey, whatever works, right.  If you look back at the 1st pic...you'll notice a pink flower(on the right) in the tree...hair clip, it was a must per Hailey!  She did get a little upset when the tree topper/star would not work, so we rigged up a star for her mini-christmas tree in her room which, so far, seems to make her feel a little better.

This past weekend, after a marathon of "Fossy" aka, Frosty the Snowman per Lindsey...her newest found love, I decided to take a few pics of the girls for their Christmas pictures...that's always interesting and you just have to hope for the best, because when they're done...they're DONE!!  But, I got a few good ones after playing "peek-e-boo" behind the camera & singing the ABC's:

Hailey's 6th Birthday 'Gymnastics' Party!

A little bit of sunshine and new endeavors

The weather is warmer and the girls love our backyard paradise. I'm so grateful the both enjoy imagination play, hand-me-down swing sets and space to roam. Hailey has been enjoying her gymnastic class, tricks at home and trying to give me gray hairs....                                                     These girls love their trampoline!                                      Some of their made up games...surprise tag from the great down under...                    Always time for a picture while sitting and playing on the trampoline.                                        They got the biggest kick out of the static ele...

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! ...
