Christmas Festivities...

This is Grace doing some hand moves in her Christmas program. It was soo fun to watch and so hilarious!
Olivia did her Christmas songs the next day....she wanted to take a picture with her "really, really beautiful teacher", those words came straight from her mouth....She likes to tell everyone that her teacher is prettier than Grace's 60 year old teacher. (who I also LOVE by the way :))
All of us at "Santa's House"....
We've gone to this house every year for the last 4 years. They have their entire downstairs completely decorated with a bunch of Christmas stuff, the kids get to pick out a toy, take a picture with Santa and have cookies and hot chocolate afterwards.....sooo incredibly cute!!
We ran into some people from my ward that night too!

We have a our ward Christmas party and I was supposed to bring cookies so these are what I came up with. I made 30 of these and now my hands hurt! :)

Pinterist and basketball

I'm so grateful for Pinterest because without it I would have never received this California picture in the mail today...and I wouldn't have known about making these mini deep dish pizza's that were DELICIOUS!
or this Lemon Pull apart bread that I made for my dad since he loves lemon! :)
On to way more important things....Taylor started basketball a few weeks ago and I LOVE watching her more than anything. It's so much fun! She loves it too, especially since Rob is her coach.

Taylor with one of her really good friends Avery...trying to be funny :)

random

I made a striped skirt for Meghan while she was here....
and I got this fabric in the mail today! I ordered it from a friend who I grew up with, she has the cutest fabrics on her etsy shop! I got the fabric to make new pillows for my family room. I'm excited to have new pillows just not that excited to sew all of the pillows....
Meanwhile...this is what the girls are doing while I spend WAY too much time finishing our Christmas cards!

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving was SO much fun this year! Meghan came with her family which is always fun. My mom, sisters and I all got to leave the kids and husbands behind and go shopping and eat some yummy cheesecake factory for the entire day on Saturday. (it was supposed to be a late birthday present for Meghan, Jill and I) This is sadly the only picture I got of that day....we were too busy shopping! :)
We all went to Knotts Berry Farm. It was a BIG group and surprisingly not as busy as I thought it would be the day before Thanksgiving
Love this little, CRAZY girl!

A little get together at my house the second night Meghan was here!
Thanksgiving Day

Dancing to "Just Dance 3", even my Grandpa got up and tried it...it was hilarious!
Meghan and I made some sugar cookies to bring for a Thanksgiving treat....yum

We all went around the room and said what we were thankful for...
I am sooo very thankful for this time of year and so grateful to be able to spend it with family, I feel so blessed!!

skirt

Made this skirt for me today, but it was WAY too small for me and WAY too big for Grace and Olivia. Thankfully there are 4 girls in this house hold and it fit Taylor!! :)

Birthday Weekend...

I few months ago Rob and I found out that Brian Regan was coming to Temecula on my birthday so for the last few weeks I kept bugging Rob and saying, "we really need to get those tickets!" So finally a few days ago he said, "Okay fine I'll tell you, I got tickets for us to go see Brian Regan and we are staying in a hotel and I already have your sisters to watch our kids." I was soo excited and probably sooo annoying to Rob! :) I'm pretty sure he just told me to shut me up!

We dropped off the kids, checked into our hotel and the first thing I wanted to do was go to Hobby Lobby (it just opened). Thankfully it was my birthday and not his so that I could choose that place to go to before we went to dinner. Then we were off to dinner at Bailey's which was in old town Temecula. It was absolutely delicious. We walked around the stores down there and then went to Pechanga to go see Brian Regan. I really do LOVE him with all my heart. :) He was sooo funny. We had such a fun night. Hopefully Brian Regan can come every year in November for my birthday :)

We absolutely LOVE him and are so grateful to live close to him!!We were able to celebrate all weekend long for his birthday. Everyone came to my house to eat yummy taco soup that my mom made. I made some cake pops for his bday and my sister Jennifer made the most delicious Almond Sheet cake!! Then last night, just the adults went out to dinner with him...it was a fun weekend!

Ear Warmer

I saw this ear warmer on a friends Pinterest and since I"m obsessed with felt, I thought why not make an ear warmer out of it! :) It was pretty easy so I decided to add it to my etsy shop!http://www.etsy.com/shop/sprinklesandcream

Etsy Shop

I have been meaning to put up my Etsy shop for sooo long now and I finally sat down today to do it! I added all of the flowers, now I just need to add the belts! :)

Busy Halloween Weekend...

On Sunday, the girls and I dressed in Orange and Black for Halloween..
I made some sugar cookies for the teachers...
Grace and Olivia got to dress up at school...they were so excited about it!

After trick-or-treating for 20 minutes, Grace and Olivia were begging to go home...all they wanted to do was pass out candy!
The twins went home with Rob and Taylor and I went trick-or-treating for a little longer with the cousins...


We went down to Scripps Ranch with my sister and mom because they were handing out candy and taking free pictures of the kids at the stores down there.

I LOVE halloween, but I love Christmas even more....can't wait!!

family pictures...

We stopped by my parents house before we took Family pictures with my sister heather. She is amazing at what she does! How crazy is Grace in these pictures? That is totally her personality! I love my girls more than life itself and can't imagine life with out them!
I haven't gotten the CD from Heather yet, but she sent me a little sneak peek! I hate everything I have to do to get pictures taken, but absolutely LOVE having them! :)
