Cheers to a great holiday!

It came, we celebrated and it is now memories!

Snow Day in Phoenix

Getting Dressed for fun!




Slipping & Sliding...Snowballs & Snow Angels



Speaking of Angels



My colors-gold and silver if it only fit in the house.



My sissy's work...that's Tigi on the mall wall :)


LOOKING at CHRISTMAS LIGHTS



Can we touch?



Getting close and personal!



HOME DECOR








Tavius decorated the tree with me one night and was up until 11 pm.  He was determined to use every bulb and decoration we had...very determined and I only had to move a few that had 4 bulbs on one branch.  The kids made the mirror snowflakes using paper and scissor designs.  Then we sprayed the mirror with aerosol snow, messy but fun!

Getting ready for Santa.


Tavius picked out a peppermint pinwheel to accompany the milk.  He also left the magic key outside the door with a some oats and a carrot for the reindeer.

The Little Helpers are done...my favorite part.
Quiet Christmas music playing, gifts from the heart under the tree, all the presents glowing under the lights and the chill of the cold air late at night.



Christmas Day

Stocking were filled and the excitement of the day begins!

 


 New bikes from Santa with helmets. Cars and clothes, food and dishes!


Off to Ma'ma's House
