Christmas Par-tay

Christmas Eve eve, Sherrie invited a bunch of families over for a par-tay. It was super fun. We ate Café Rio tacos and had some yummy desserts. We did a gift exchange, As Seen on TV style, and the kids ran around and played like there was no tomorrow!
Good friends. Good food. Good times!

What would a party be without picture taking?


This was my Christmas gift to my friends. Since we just ended the Health Challenge a few days before, and have been trying to eat healthier, and have been bombarded by cookie plates and homemade treats, I thought….tis the season to be healthy. Hummus and baby carrots. Yum!

What’s Café Rio without homemade tortillas?

Do you know how hard it is to take a decent picture? Seriously?

Don’t let Miss Parleigh fool you. She was a pill. With a capital P. But, I don’t blame her. She was having a rough week fromeating dairy. She only let me hold her…and she cried and cried and cried if anyone even thought of holding her. Oh well, she’s back to her happy self—all dairy out of her system. Remind me NOT to introduce dairy when we have parties planned!


Gift exchange. I got a battery-powered fly swatter, an alarm for my door, and some benderoos!

I love this girl. She is too.much.fun!



Parker apparently had a loose tooth. He’s wiggling it. About ready it yank it out, or so it looks! What’s up with my boys losing teeth? It fell out the next day!


This, my friend, was Parleigh’s mood for the past weekend. I think I captured it pretty well, if I say so myself. Talk about a cranky, needy, baby. I’ve never ever heard her cry so much. Darn you dairy products! Darn you!

Annnnnddd….if you made it through this far…here’s what I made for Parker’s teachers. I thought about doing a gift card…but I’m a homemade type of girl!
