Ambra's Glitter and Glam Spa Party!!!

My little Ambra is SIX!!! We had sooooo much fun at her party! Her invitations were these sleeping masks that she and I made. All the girls thought these were pretty cool. She invited every girl in her kindergarten class (only 9 girls) and all her church friends. They were to come in their jammies, robes and slippers.

Here is Miss Ambra before her little friends showed up.

Doesn't she look so grown up. I can't belieive it. She is so pretty. This was by far the favorite gift of the season. She got a makeup kit from grandma and grandpa. Lots of sparkles, lip gloss, polish and eye shadow. She totally loves it and uses it every day.

Look at these beautiful girls! This was part of their fashion photo shoot after they were pampered. They each got to switch between three stations: One - we made body glitter. They got to choose what color they wanted and then got to take a bottle home. Two- they had pedicures and manicures - color of choice of course. Three - they got their hair done with sparkles and curly ribbon and got lip stick. They of course thought this was great. We ended with our photo shoot and then did buffet table and presents. They were each to make a bracelet to wear also. They were so cute and Ambra got spoiled rotten. It was SOOO fun.!

All Dressed Up!

Well here are my little darlings and thier Christmas clothes. My mother was so kind as to get these for the children this year. Isn't that the nicest ever! They look so beautiful (handsome in Cole's case.) I love Christmas dresses. They are so pretty.

My little ham. Anytime she sees a camera on or off, she gives me the biggest cheeser. She is such a doll, and we enjoy her so much.

My handsome little Colie. I will share some funny things he has said to me lately:

He was listening to that song by New Song the Christmas Shoes (for those of you that don't know it is about a little boy that wants to by his mom a new pair of shoes because she is about to die and he wants her to look nice for Jesus. He doesn't have enough money and a stranger pays for the difference - depressing yes). Well, he was listening to this song and suddenly he says to me "Mom, if you get really really sick..... Your just going to have to wear socks!"

The other day he came home with a candy cane and shared it with Ambra. I asked him why he didn't eat it and he said, "Mom, I am not going to eat candy anymore. I am really trying to eat healthier. Actually, I am trying to grow bigger so I can ride the mouse next year at Lagoon!"f

Tonight at a Christmas Party, there was a 13 year old boy there, Cole asked him how old he was and then said, "Wow, that is alot of years... So your trying to be a man huh?"

My pretty little girl is going to be six in two days! AAAAAHHHHH. It is breaking my heart that they are growing up so fast. I love them so much and want them under my wings forever! She loves kindergarten and has so many friends. She is definitley a leader and is so grown up in so many ways.

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth!

Ambra and some of her cute little friends put together a performance to Alvin and the Chickmunks song, "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth." They were the cutest ever! They performed at our ward party and at our Relief Society party. They had a song and dance and totally stole the show on both accounts. I wish I knew how to get sound on my video on my camera (help all you camera video people). Anyway the cutest part about it is that most of them are missing there two front teeth. (Ambra is missing her entire two top and two bottom!)

Am I a terrible mother?

A wonderful thing has happened! The children can officially build a snowman by themselves! Yay! This is something I should enjoy to do with them, but I will tell you I enjoy it alot more when I get to go outside and check it out after it is all done with no help! (Am I a terrible mother?) I love to do other things like baking, sledding, craft projects, reading, etc., but I am very excited about this new development. Isn't it the cuteset little snowman ever??? I just think it is darling, and even more darling because it was done all by thier cute little selves!

We got to go to St. George for the Thanksgiving Holiday. It was so fun. It was filled with too much food, hiking, games and laying around. Perfect vacation! Here we are up on the Dixie Red Rocks doing a little hiking. This is such a great spot for kids. Lots of neat places to explore. The kids werel looking for the Cave of Wonders.

Adam and I made all the pies from scratch with his mom directing us. This was a great learning experience. I really haven't done homeade pies before.

We made apple turkeys to put by our plates on Thanksgiving.

Lots of Turkey Bowl.

Grandma loves to play the piano with the kids. She has a player piano and the kids all love to sit and sing with her.

Learning to make pies. Doesn't Adam look cute?

Thanks Grandma for a wonderful holiday! It was so fun to be with the entire family and be taken care of so well!
