RECENT LAYOUTS

Here are a few recent layouts that I completed on my weekend trip to Arbor Oaks. A couple of them still need a few embellishments added to make them sparkle.

Anna's 3rd Birthday Party

 Ryan and Evan playing dolls!

Christmas at my dad's house. I have added some ribbon and bling to the empty blue spot on page two since I took this picture.

 "A Meow Christmas" - We gave my mother-in-law a Furr Real cat for Christmas as a prank b/c she is very afraid of cats. Come to find out she is afraid of fake cats too.

JR BETA CEREMONY

Madilyn had her Jr. Beta ceremony yesterday at school. I'm so proud of my little girl. She is growing up way too fast though. Before I know I will be attending her graduation.

ARBOR OAKS WEEKEND

Here are a few pics from this past weekend at Arbor Oaks. We had so much fun. The best thing about staying here is you can do whatever you want. If I wanted to read I could read. If I wanted to sleep I could sleep. If I wanted to shop I could shop. If I wanted to scrapbook I could scrapbook. This was my first trip to Arbor Oaks but definitely not my last. I will be going back in March.

 My Fair Lady Room

My favorite color is Red so I just had to stay in this room.

I was so lucky to have my mom come with us for the weekend. She made an 8x8 album and got an early start on her Christmas cards for this year.

Sonic had a short supply of cups by the time our group left Lake Charles. I'm pretty sure there was a Sonic run at least 2 times a day with 7 drinks. If you are good at math that is 14 cups per day times 3 days = 42!

Christmas Morning

Madilyn wanted her bathroom re-decorated for Christmas this year in Zebra. She is sitting on one of the rugs for her new bathroom. Even though Santa is not what Santa use to be (she is a non-believer now)  in our house he still visited her leaving special presents under the tree.

This is her new shower curtan that she picked out on Black Friday that she insisted I get while she was with me.

New Vera accessories of course!

New Decorated Bathroom! Still have some extra special decorations to hang on the walls!



Christmas Eve Festivities

Every Christmas Eve my in-laws, my mom & stepdad and sometimes others get together for a Christmas celebration. This year we added an event to the agenda. ROCKBAND! It was hilarious to see everyone trying to play the drums, guitars and / or sing.

Brooke was actually very good on the drums.

 Madilyn and Brooke got the cutest gingerbread man aprons from their granny to make cookies in. By the end of the cookie decorating Brooke definitely needed her apron.



Ryan said the hell with eating sprinkles on the cookies they are good straight out of the jar. Needless to say I didn't stop him b/c Brooke was going home with her mommy and daddy that night.

Holiday Pics

Saturday morning Willie and I took Madilyn and Evan to Bass Pro to get their picture taken with Santa. While we were there I was able to get some cute pics in front of their huge Christmas tree. I wish I could fit a tree that big in my living room.

HO HO HO

HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS! I just love hearing that phrase coming from Santa. Karen, Paula and I went to a crop in New Orleans this past weekend and there was a special visit from Santa. We even had our pictures taken with him.

Charlene had a cute two page Christmas layout for us to complete to put our Santa pics on. You get so many goodies at this crop. I have still have to take a pic of my Christmas centerpiece I received.
