Cinderella's Hand Bell and Singing Debut

Back in December Cinderella sang Christmas Carols and played the hand bells at the annual town tree lighting ceremony.

They even had a snow maker!

Little sister was so excited to see big sister perform.

Her bottom lip would disappear when she played her bells.  :)

 And then, of course, a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  Santa loved Sleeping Beauty and "made his night."  He asked her if she was being a good girl and she said, "I think sooooooooooo..."

Afterwards, we went to Ihop with Nana and Pa.  It was a fun night and memories were made by all.

Oh Sweet Hallelujah!

Christmas break ends and school starts back up Monday for the kids.  I am so relieved.  We have had a lot of fun but I have also had a lot of migraines.  I think they are bored by now and I am tired of the fighting, bickering and lack of listening.  As the break has gone on they have become harder of hearing.  The house is clean (ish) one minute and a complete wreck the next thanks to the girls.  I am done and ready to get back into a routine.  Nineteen days is A BIT MUCH for a Christmas break.  :)

Happy 2012!!

I realize I am behind on events but The Crazies wanted to wish you a Happy New Year!!

I feel like I am so far behind.  I have some Christmas pictures but haven't had the time to put them on here. The kids are home and will be until the 10th so I am doing everything I can to keep this household from the very threshold of you-know-where.  We are having fun but they are exhausting me and taking every last bit of my patience. As soon as one mess is cleaned up or a crisis is averted, there is a new mess and a new disaster I must wade through.   Just know I have not forgotten the blog and will be back soon!

A Santa Question

When Santa comes to our house and leaves gifts, they are wrapped.  In seeing other pictures I have noticed some are wrapped and some are not.  How does Santa leave gifts at your house and how did he leave them for you when you were a child?
