happy birthday scott

Scott's birthday is the day after Christmas.  Addi wanted to make him a pink cake this year...good thing he likes strawberry cake!  LuLu had lots of different sprinkles to choose from, but it was such a hard decision so Addi ended up using them ALL!



Prettiest cake i've ever seen, honey! 


So I decided to do what all great mom's do and let their child pick out anything for their daddy's birthday!  I actually took her to the dollar tree and let her pick out 10 treasures.  It was hysterical!  Scott didn't quite know what to do with his 10 extra special birthday gifts, but they were all priceless!  

The HUGE party hat was one of his 10 things but it wouldn't fit in the bag so he got it before he opened the rest. 

I don't know who was more excited to see him hope it, Addi or me! 

"Wow. Ring pops?" 

"Yes daddy. And you can share with me."

Wasn't that sweet of her? 

"Oh. And marshmallows!?!" 

A sea foam green pumice stone.

A 100 piece Buzz Lightyear puzzle..."because daddy loves doing puzzles with me!" 

Rubber ducky bubbles. 

Christmas balls 

A 10 pack of paper cups with Santa on them. 

Green body wash 

and...drum roll please.... 

a green porcelain angel! 


She has never been more proud! 

"Can I have one now?" 

And let's not forget the Alvin & the Chipmunks (aka chicken-munks) singing card that she insisted on! 


Addi picked out a card from Halle and it was a Christmas card with reindeer on it. 



After making our way back home, we celebrated that night with her cake!  Scott's face was priceless when he saw the cake! 


"Make a wish daddy!" 

"Now blow them out!" 

This is Scott's "you've lost your mind for giving her free reign over the sprinkles" face! 

and a big TA-DA and special thanks for my special birthday helper...couldn't have done it without you sweetie! 

Happy Birthday, Scott!!
At least you aren't dirty-thirty anymore, right?

christmas morning

Santa left quite a mess this year!  Look at that hand print inside the fireplace!

And he even tracked in soot!  

Look at all the goodies he left!  Addi's #1 request this year was a Sleeping Beauty dress.  When she walked down and saw her pink dress she said, "Well, actually I wanted the blue one" very matter-of-factly.  Lesson learned Addi-girl...be sure you specify color to Santa next year! 

Pascal! 

And oh my goodness, he left his bag!!

Check out that awesome growth chart with the girls' picture on top!  Isn't it so cute!?!


Halle got a play table and is mesmerized by it!
 


So much great stuff down in the bag!  All the "fixin's" to go with her new art easel, sleeping beauty doll, and much much more! 

Stocking time!!  Sleeping beauty accessories! 


Look what Halle got...Sophie!!

Not so sure... 



Who took my sophie????? 

Okay, I'm better! 

Addi had a stocking explosion!  


There's something else down here... 

Pez candy!! 

Painting a Christmas tree. 

more gift opening (we didn't make it through everything the night before).

Notice she changed jammies?  Jackie and Trev gave her Jessie jammies AND glitter boots!!




And this was a super fun gift...a karaoke machine!! 

H got A a cute pink robe that she loves!  She actually sleeps with it wadded up in her bed like a soft blankie. 

And A picked out a cute little singing clock for H. 

Christmas night we celebrated with Scott's family and my camera got left at mom and dad's house.  Such a bummer.  I got one pic on my phone and it's of A & H's new trampoline...in the living room!!


Best Christmas yet!!!
