Disneyland at Christmas!

On Tuesday S and I took A to Disneyland to see the Christmas parade, fireworks, and snow! I was so excited to see her reaction. It was a fun day, even though it was crowded. I don't want to say much because I just want you to look at the adorable pictures! Enjoy!

Watching Dora on Mommy's phone while waiting for the parade to start.

Watching the adorable fireworks. Isn't that the cutest face?!

Standing in the snow...even though you can't tell it is snowing in the picture!

Mad that the snow is over. Lol.

Princess Aurora's Castle...she is sleeping in the top haha

Someone was so tired she passed out sitting up on the way out!

We had such a wonderful time and I am glad we were able to go one last time before Christmas!

I'm a Ballerina!

We brought out the Christmas decorations and A pushed the button on our holiday gingerbread house which plays "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies." She then starts dancing like a ballerina and I had to share it with you. Enjoy!

Hons Household Happenings Part 1

So I have not posted in a few days so I am going to catch you up on the Hons household happenings. First off was our MOMS Club Christmas Party last week. I was excited to see all our friends and have A see Santa! But I was also nervous about the second part because you know how 2 year olds are with Santa which was the norm at the party. Almost every child cried when Santa called them up to get their present from him. When it was A's turn the word hesitated does not begin to cover it. I literally had to drag her to go see Santa and get her book that Santa (really mommy) got her. After a little arm bending I was able to get her to not only go up to Santa but sit on his lap and take a picture! She did so good for about thirty seconds and then was ready to get off but that was enough for me and I think the picture was so cute, even without the smile.

Our next December event, since there are so many this year which of course I love, was our Mommy & Me Christmas Party. This was not as exciting as our previous party since Santa was not a guest but it was the perfect party for A. She had such a fun time having her regular school day with added pizza, decorating a tree, and recieving a present! She was so cute and I am sad to see it end for now but luckily it is a short break and it starts again in January!

Then, being December, my little princess got a cold, which she is still suffering from. So due to this she was not able to attend our last meeting of MOPS which was sad but that is also ok because that too will start again in January.

To brighten her day on Thursday we decided to take her to Sleepy Hollow to see the Christmas lights! I think this was more for mommy that her but thats ok because she loved it anyway. Almost every house we passed she exclaimed with enthusiasm "How Beautiful!" It was so fun to see her point out all the lights and characters that she saw while eating popcorn and drinking hot chocolate. It was such a fun time and we were able to get some pictures of the lights as well as a picture of my future house (wishful thinking).

This past week we were also able to hang up the Christmas lights! As most of you know this is my favorite time of year and each day time that a new decoration goes up I get so excited! (Mom you need to get on the ball before I come over and take over! Ha ha!) This year Ch and I had a small assistant helping us hang the lights. She was such a good helper and I am so happy to be influencing her to love Christmas as much as I do for the future! I know, you all think I'm crazy! So these are the things that have happned so far but we are only half way through December so there is much more to come! Enjoy!

 

 

Christmas Decorations!

It's Christmas time! As most of you know I love Christmas. Some of you might call it obsessed, I like to call it a fanatic! I love this time of year and was so excited to decorate. Since we are living with S and C right now I have our bedroom to decorate so it is a lot for one room but I think it is cute just the same. Here are the pictures that I promised. Enjoy!

My "S" ornament hanging from my night stand.

My winter picture I painted

The most adorable decoration of all!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! I know I have not done a post in awhile with all the Holiday craziness going on around here so I am doing a post-Thanksgiving post. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your family and I know I am now looking forward to the upcoming Christmas season! As most of you know this is my favorite time of year with all the Christmas lights and presents and family time! (If you could not already tell with my layout and my newly discovered falling snow!) I am so excited to see how A is this year with all the Christmas decorations! But I am getting off track so back to Thanksgiving!

We had such a nice time with Ch family on Thursday. MIL and I were the hosts this year and I had so much fun putting together the table settings. However, will all the commotion going on I did not take even one picture of the tables. :( I guess I will have to do it again next year and take pictures! Here are some of the pictures that I did remember to take during the day. Enjoy!

The yummy fall cookies I made.

On Saturday we drove to the Valley to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. I am so glad we decided to do it on Saturday this year so that we could not only go (we alternate every other year) but also because there was no traffic which was so wonderful! We had such a fun time but of course I forgot to borrow the camera so I have no pictures! I can't wait until Christmas when I get my new camera from my mom and dad (that I am supposed to act surprised for even though I picked it out and ordered it myself). With this new camera I will leave it in my purse so I will always have it!
