Goody Goody Gumdrops

This past Saturday we set out for a local gingerbread workshop....




Now this is my idea of fun...




All the happy memories with zero clean up...




The girls both whipped up a couple of masterpieces.  First up Emme's candy concoction...




Carter's was carefully constructed...




It was a great time with the whole fam (doing our best to get everyone in the shot here)...




I also lucked out later that day when my trusty little sidekick helped assemble our Christmas cards...




They should have made their way to most of our sweet family and friends mailboxes and I would love to share it with you!  I used a new company called Pinhole Press and I'm in love with the results.  Two of the things I love most in life, paper and photos, coming together for one fun trifold card...




To be honest I cannot get over how very excited I am to have photos that I love of our whole family.  It was the best Christmas gift!  We met up with the sweet Savannah of Savannah Leigh Photography (Click here to see her post on our shoot) and she did a FABULOUS job.  I'm going to do a post with all of them sometime soon.  Right now my eyelids are fighting the urge to close so I'm gonna leave ya' with this, my sweet little Carter in anticipation of hanging out with Mr. Clause...




And Emme was all smiles too...




Until she found herself on Santa's lap (don't worry we promptly snatched her back up in .5 seconds flat)...




I was thinking things might be a little different than last year...




But I think it's safe to say she's still not a fan.  You know what she is a fan of?  Brushing teeth (specifically brushing Elmo's teeth)...




Making early morning runs to Target with her mama...




Jammies required...




Double the Binky fun...




BIG kisses (she is really good at those)...




And last but not least (she's totally going to kill me for this one when she's 16) "practicing" on the potty (don't forget to pause the music at the bottom)...

In case you missed it she said it "splashes the poo poo."  I die.  This kid may very well have a comedic future.  Speaking of comedy check this little video out.  The girls have taken quite a liking to my Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred video.  So much in fact that they sometimes do it for fun...

Hey exercise is exercise!  Carter has also found another indoor activity to keep her occupied the good ol' fashioned hula hoop.  It's pretty impressive if you ask me (Emme is quite a fan too and cheers her on with "YAY Sissy!")...

And with that this has officially become the most random post ever.  See what happens when I'm practically falling asleep while typing?!  Night!

my kids always seem to have more fun doing the workout videos as well:) my new favorite of jillian's is "Ripped in 30". It is really good- short 20 minute workouts like the 30 day shred.

I hopped over to check out your photo session and LOVED it! It makes me want to fly halfway across the world to have her capture my family! What a blessing to have such talented people in your life :)
