Yesterday was a great day!!

I do have to update all of the  wonderful things we did before Christmas but

before I need to scream from the roof tops that our mentally unstable, horribly 

mean and selfish (probably the most vindictive people I have ever met) 

neighbors have moved !!!!! YAY I was smiling ear to ear when I found out. I 

have

 to say that I do feel bad for their new neighbors that they will be preying on 

before you know...wish I could warn them actually!! I really am unable to 

express

just how hurtful and cruel these people have been to our entire neighborhood. 

Bullying  is not just between kids......but neighbors too apparently(grow up)!

 There were

 times when I almost got down to their level and wanted to

 do something like this

but we didn't.... and in the end we won!! 

and to them I say 

Wiedersehen

Adiós

Au revoir

good bye!!!

2012 is off to a great start already :0)

School concerts and Ugly sweaters

 Last Monday was Kaylah's school Christmas concert at the high school

They did a wonderful job and the little girls were excited to sing along. And I will admit that I got a little teary eyed seeing Kaylah up there...... She just seems so big now :0(

Then Wednesday Alivia stayed after school (again soo big) and had cookies with the Claus's. She got all dressed up and looked so sweet. She was so excited and nervous about this. She wanted to go but but unsure about getting her picture with Santa and Mrs Claus. But she did it...even the picture and was so proud to tell me when I picked her up!

When Alivia was getting ready for school Emma wanted in on the pics and brought down her dress and threw on her "Uggs"......I think she can pull it off ;0)

Friday was our Yankee Swap with our close family and friends. This year we threw in the ugly sweater part....which was fun. Especially seeing the guys in sweaters!

I made a few new recipes which turned out awesome! Some Santa sangria......

Some...not sure what these are called but they were easy and yummy

and saltine toffee which was amazing and super easy!

And a group shot of some really awesome/funny people that we are so lucky to have in our lives

Then Saturday we headed to My grandparents for an early Christmas. They left today for California for the week. 

Emma got this creepy little hedgehog (not sure what it is) that she fell in love with. I wish simple things made everyone so happy!

My grandmother made us girls some aprons so here we are showing them off and trying to get her to pose for the picture.

 So another awesome Christmas weekend down. Cant believe only 7 more sleeps!!! :0)

Weekend fun

It seems like we have so much Christmas stuff to fit in before Christmas Day. So Saturday we went to Middleboro to see Uncle Mack and his friend as Shepard's in the live Nativity. It was cute and they had hot chocolate and cookies for the kids and me ;)

It was FREEZING......

The girls really enjoyed it and it was nice for them to see the true meaning behind Christmas!

Then tonight we went to the festival of lights in Bridgewater. Kaylah brought her friends Mia and Courtney. We were almost there when I realized the battery in my camera was dead :( I am so bummed I wasn't able to take any pics. But it was fun and we got a preview of the girls Christmas concert songs on the way home. 

Merry Christmas

O Christmas Tree

 Friday night we went and picked up this beauty :0)

The kids were so excited and couldn't wait for Adam to get home so we could go

So we set it up and let it sit over night

Emma was so psyched. I just love how they light up over everything Christmas. 

And these two wanted to pose by the tree and have their pic taken!

Tonight we hung all the lights and decorations

We are down a few decorations that Iam hoping a glue gun will fix.....Em is still learning that they are not toys ;0)

Every year Santa brings a new ornament for each of our little ladies. I love that our tree is full of meaningful ornaments. Like family vacations and homemade ones from the past few years. Here are my favorite....The girls first Christmas ornaments.

 Kaylah"s

Alivia's

Emma's
