IMG_7835 IMG_7836 IMG_7838 IMG_7842 IMG_7850Jon made me an awesome bath book holder, and got me goodies to go with it! IMG_7854 IMG_7856Kaylee randomly asked to write Santa a wish list letter. Post shopping. I panicked. Her list: A wonder Woman doll, a Wonder Woman book, a purple dress.

When she was done I was SO happy. She was getting everything on her list. EXCEPT the purple dress. I told her that since she recently got a new purple dress Santa would surprise her with something. She was fine with that.IMG_7858Months ago Nicole gave me a bag of dresses for Kaylee to grow into. I put them in the back of the closet to save. Christmas miracle and answered prayers, and one thrilled and grateful little girl! She hugged her "new" dress for minutes, many minutes before deciding to open more gifts.IMG_7867 IMG_7872 IMG_7876 IMG_7878These two got each other new action figures. I love this picture of them thanking each other. IMG_7879 IMG_7882My new bath book board and ambience.  Jon rocks! IMG_7889I made the kids new hooded towels. These things are massive. I used bath sheets, and love how they turned out. IMG_7890

Thanksgiving 2013

We had our first just us Thanksgiving. It was nice and quiet. Different, but good.

We tried watching the Space X launch, but it was sadly aborted.

We made three pies from scratch. You know so the kids could enjoy some allergy friendly goodness.

I got some mini pie pumpkins and did the whole shebang. Oh, my yummy worth the extra work goodness!

Regan didn't like the pumpkin, and rrefused to try the apple. Kaylee loved both apple and pumpkin.

We used soy milk to make a chocolate pudding pie, but since it was made with soy it didn't want to set up. So the kids ended our dessert extravaganza by drinking the chocolate pie.
