december maddness

this was the best christmas I remember having as an adult we had lots of family time, fun food and really got to enjoy teaching Gracie about baby Jesus. This has really been an incredible month and here is a massive update! For christmas my mother in law gave me a book "hello, cupcake" this was my first try to make cute cupcakes and i was pretty excited to show them off i don't very oftem doing creative baking so this was a blast!

Christmas was a blast we spent the day with my family doing a big "dinner" at 2:00 but the rest of the day the kids played with their toys we watched the barbie movie gracie got 3 times and just enjoyed family time it was amazing!!

Christmas this year was a blast christmas eve we spent playing in the snow then we came in to get ready to go to ryan's parents house for dinner then home to wait for santa!

Fin is crawling all over the house he loves his freedom but i am constantly chasing him trying to keep up with is curiousity is a full time job and yes he is eating the soap, what can i say at least he isn't a picky eater.... She loves the snow ans loves to play in it i am convinced that she just doesn't mind the cold at all (she definately gets that from her dad I am a huge wimp)

I love watching her get ready and with so many haloiday parties she was in girly heaven!!

Every year i want to try and get a picture in front of the tree this was our first year and i love it!

we celebrated ryan's 27th birthday this month is was so much fun and with Gracie going through such a princess phase she insisted on either this crown cake or a castle cake for his birthday and then was my big helper making it. Side note she is wearing her princess ariel dress that her grandma made her for halloween, she really wanted to be a mermaid so ry's mom made her this princess dress with a purple top and aqua bottom and she still wears it at least once everyday!!!
