Santa and Smores

Our life has been a little hectic the last month and this weekend it was SO nice to slow down and just hang out as a family. Thursday night Maggie was in the Christmas Magic style show and I have to say she was precious (not biased at all!) My brother, his wife Lisa and the twins were in it as well and Maggie walked down with them. It blew my mind that she walked out in front of 200 people because she has been SO shy lately. Maybe she just needed an audience! Friday night we made chili and introduced Maggie to the delieciousness of smores. She had more fun playing with the marshmellows! Saturday morning we went back to CM and had breakfast with Santa. Maggie was terrified of him but their were a lot of fun things to do while we were there. My mom and Danny's mom were able to join us and it was so fun! Other than that we played outside a lot and just enjoyed each other. It really is the simple things that truly make me happy. That's how it always should be, right? Here are some pictures from the weekend.

This makes my heart smile.....

Halloween 2010

Halloween this year was a lot of fun because Maggie "got it" when it came to trick or treating. She was a little scared of some of the costumes but as she saw more she would say "They are just pretending" So cute. Halloween we were quite busy visting family, going to a party and ending up our church "trunk or treat". All in all it was a fun night!

Party Planner

For my birthday this year, I had the best party planner ever...Maggie! She is soooo into parties right now so I thought why not let her plan it? And plan it she did! Danny took her to "the ballon store" and picked out party hats, Mickey Mouse horns, an ice cream pinata and ghost cupcakes. While I was enjoying an afternoon away, they had it all set up when I got home. They did a great job! Official party planner
Henry liked the hat....Charlotte not so much!

TLC Parties

We are very blessed to be able to send Maggie to TLC on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She has the sweetest teacher, Mrs. Nancy and the staff is wonderful. Maggie loves it.... once I am gone of course! I was able to help with Western Day and their field trip to the pumpkin patch. I loved seeing Maggie with all of her friends and it took me back to my teaching days! Enjoy some pictures of all of the fun! Note: On Western Day Maggie was getting over the croup and was on some medicine. Looking back on them, she looks a little dazed!

Happy Birthday Mom!

We celebrated my mom's birthday this week and she is definitely a woman to be celebrated. I am so blessed to have her as my mom and Maggie is so blessed to have her as a grandmother. My mom is the most selfless, amazing, loving, serving, Godly woman I know. She is the best!
