christmas parade & christmas partay #1...

the month of december is just a busy time of the year for everyone...

for me...

there's christmas indoor and outdoor decorating,

there's christmas shopping to be done, parties to attend,

christmas cards to send out, shuffling the girls

to and from events and the list goes on

and when you add birthdays in that mix...

it's even busier!

in past years i didn't do a good job at blogging

our december madness 

but this year i'm gonna try to do a better job.

first up,

small town christmas parade!

both Michael and Meagan participated in the parade...

meagan sat in a truck representing

UA varsity cheerleaders...

michael representing UA in his red morph suit...

which he wears as a student section leader...

then last night was our girls office

christmas crafting dinner partay!

we were spoiled with cheese and chocolate fondue...

along with assorted simple beverages and wine...

the office crew minus wendy

who had a previous engagement....

rachael the one standing behind me
with the stripes on

was our hostess with the mostess...

craft time!

we really got into our crafting...

the craft project was a styrofoam ornament

wrapped around with ribbon...

in which we pinned sequins & beads

in any pattern we wanted...

and well...

we kinda ran out of pins...

so only half of our styrofoam balls were finished.
however, we each took a goodie bag home
filled with the sequins and other fun goodies that
we needed to finish our ornament.

my styrofoam ball half finished...

i still need to finish the other half...

so stay tuned for more december fun!
