Fun Night at the Mall!!!

Last night we went to the mall and had a blast!!! We ate dinner and then we headed to Build a Bear!!! Abby, Porter, and James had so much fun picking out what they wanted to make. Abby made a Hannah Montana Bear named Hannah, Porter made a Penguin named Frankie, and James made a Puppy named Shadow! Then we went and saw Santa. The kids loved telling Santa what they would like this year for Christmas! What a fun night at the mall being together having fun!!!

Christmas Pillow Cases!!!

So last year at Halloween for an Enrichment night we made Halloween Pillow cases. Abby, Porter, and James loved them!!! So this year I wanted to make them Christmas ones!!! Let me remind you all, I have no sewing skills what so ever. So today I decided to try to make them by myself. I had the Halloween pillow cases out trying to remember over a year ago how I made them. The kids were helping me! It was alot of fun! I was really excited to blog about them. It took me about a hour to remember how to make them lol. So I am sure a project that should of took me maybe 20 minutes took me a little longer, but they turned out so cute!!! The kids were so excited they loved them!!!


Here is a picture of the fabric!!

I took this picture because I thought it looked like I knew what I was doing!!! lol

Look at the skills!!!lol

Here they are done!!! I thought they turned out so cute!!! The best part was seeing how excited the kids were to have Christmas pillow cases!!! Abby's is the Gingerbread and Candycane's, James is the Santa's and Porter's is the Reindeer!!!

Let It Snow!!!

Let it Snow....

I love the snow when you can stay home and stay warm! I have to admit living in St. George.... I did not miss the snow. I love snow for Christmas and then I am ready for the SUN!!! But it has been fun to watch the kids faces and how excited they get for it to snow!!! We just went and bought all the snow gear and the kids cannot wait to go and play in the snow and build a snowman!!! Today we had fun making a snowman project! The kids did a great job and they turned out so cute!!!


Just had to take a picture out our front door I cannot believe how much snow there is and how cold it is outside!

Abby having fun coloring!

Porter was working so hard on his snowman he wouldn't even look up to take his picture.

James loves to make projects!!!

Abby, Porter, and James snowmen turned out so cute!!! We tried to get the snow in the background so we opened up the door, but you really can't see it is snowing...lol

Happy Holidays!!!
