My Little Turkey!!

Today was Mikayla's school Thanksgiving Day celebration. The kids are SOOOO stinkin cute! I love it. I loved being able to go to her celebration with her. They had set up a bunch of tables and decorated for the parents to be able to come and have a turkey dinner with them complete with mashed potatoes and green beans, it was quite tasty!!

Mikaya was soooooo excited to see me. While she was in line she kept whispering to me.... "I love you mommy" and she'd say "hi mommy".... it was sooooo awesome!! I live for days like this!! Then we came home and had a nice nap... here are some pictures and a video at the end :)

The celebration continues

My litle girl had a blast.... first Chuck E Cheese party....then a party at Katie's house.... today is her school party, complete with a cupcake cake and goody bags... WOW!!! It's awesome to turn four. Yesterday morning, as she was riding along in her big girl car seat (booster seat), she told me that now that she's four..... everything is sooooo different! She's a hoot!!!!

Here she is in her few of her clothing changes yesterday!!

Our Disney on Ice experience

This was sooooo special for us. We took Mikayla to Disney on Ice 100th year celebration. They did mini vignettes of some popular Disney movies and I was blown away by how real it was…the skating was awesome! The props were outstanding... the costumes WOW!!!! I will forever be a fan of anything Disney on Ice!!!

It was such an incredibly special day for me. We had one of those “moments” that totally stole my breath away and gave me (still gives me) happy tears just seeing how incredibly happy and excited and into the moment she was. At one point during the show, she looked at me and I just saw straight into her heart exactly how she felt and how happy, excited, thrilled, amazed, and full of love she was and she just said “thank you”……. That moment in time totally stood still and was one I will never forget. I have seen her happy and having a great time…. But this was truly something magical!!!! Here is some of what we saw.

Cinderella (of course we had to dress up)

Mikayla's absolute favorite part was seeing Cinderella.

There was a lot more :) You'll just have to go see it, I very highly recommend it. here's my little blue mouthed (from a drink) Cinderella.... oh and what was the one souvenir my girl picked out....... well..... a sword.... yup, my girl can sword fight now LOL!!!

Happy Birthday Round 1 :)

The week started with some help from my best helper :) We were making the frosting for her birthday cakes.


One of my few obsessions is now little girl socks.... well adding beads to them, surely Happy Birthday socks are in order, one says Happy the other says Birthday


The end result of her cake :) I was pretty happy with it.


Next stop was Chuck E Cheese!!!! What a wonderfuly fanstastical time!!! Little Miss had a blast! Michael won her over 1000 tickets :)

Leslie's Birthday

Today is a special day, it's Leslie's birthday... I wish we had her here to celebrate her special day with her. I miss her very much.

Happy Halloween :)

Our Cinderella had a BALL! Mikayla's first day of celebration started with her getting to wear her costume to school on Friday for her costume parade and then her party in the afternoon, then we had a big party to go to on Friday night at my in-laws house, there were over 112 people at their house!! WOW big party!!! Then Saturday we went back over to go trick-or-treating with them. It was sooooooo nice, the weather was great, most importantly our princess had a blast!!

Pumpkin decorating was a huge hit!

Trick or Treat

Is it a Cinderella or a swamp monster?

Both......LOL
