a little preschool celebration

Emma had her little Christmas party at school...

Aren't they just so cute?

We provided pizza, oranges, and juice for lunch, and Bro was quite the trooper and sat in the jogger the whole time! yessssss!

After lunch was story time...

Then we did rotating stations of reindeer food making...

pin the nose on Rudolph, reindeer ornament making, and Christmas freeze dancing :) Emma had a blast!

Our daddy had been out of town for a couple of days, so we welcomed him home by meeting for dinner at a restaurant. We sang Happy Birthday again...and had cake...again! We made need a nutritional intervention soon! I just love these three!

Costumes on Parade

Emma's little preschool had their annual Costume Parade, and Emma went as Ariel. I made her costume this year, and got the idea from this blog.

She saw me reading that blog last year, and told me that she wanted her costume to look just like that one, so I did the best I could :) You should check out their costumes from this year...truly amazing!

I figured if Emma was going to be Ariel, then this little guy could be Sebastian. I definitely had my work cut out for me.

The parade was fun...

And all of the little costumes were just precious.

This one was my favorite! So creative!

We got one quick class photo...

And then, I was off to the gym.

All of her friends were princesses this year :) It was a fun morning for all of them.

hi y'all!

carson has a little something to say, so i thought i'd share...

(you might need to turn it up a bit.)

isn't he just too cute with his buttery twang? we were headed out the door one day, and he looked at me and said, "bye, y'all." so so funny. i didn't think i said that all that often, but turns out, well, we all do. the littles never lie, do they?

earlier this week, emma had dad's night at school. they had a blast together and came home with these very scary masks....

while she was there, she even painted me a rainbow. so sweet.

and i attempted to get a together photo of my favorite two...

otherwise the week was spent getting ready for miss emma's 5th birthday party bash. i've been baking, shopping, wrapping, decorating, and well, the list never ends. a birthday post should be not too far away.

so, it's friday, and it's miss emma's birthday party eve (i told y'all we celebrate eves, right?), so we're excited!

we've got lots of family and tons of friends coming in for the party.

so, please cross your fingers for no rain...heaven help me if it does.

you might even want to say an extra prayer or two.

i just finished cranking out 50+ cupcakes and i'm headed to the preschool pick-up line.

then it's off to the gym. i plan to eat cake this weekend, and i'm not the girl who gets to eat cake without hitting the treadmill.

so, i guess that's all for now.

bye y'all!
