The Girls Christmas Wishlist 2012 and Giveaway! CLOSED

Emma is in love  obsessed with Cinderella and the color blue so she has asked for anything Cinderella for Christmas.   Funny thing is, she's never seen the movie.   I'm super excited, we got her the movie as a stocking stuffer. It's a good thing she can't read otherwise she'd know one of her presents.  Here are a few things she's been asking us for Christmas.

1: My Little Pony Castle 
  Lately all Emma wants to watch is My Little Pony.  So what would be more perfect for her? A complete castle and ponies to play with.

2: Cinderella and Toddler Dress Up Set 
 We've seen this at Target for awhile and every time Emma sees it she begs us for this doll.

3: Elf On A Shelf
 I think getting this early on will keep miss sassy pants from being so sassy ;-) I can hope, right?
  
4: Mermaid Puppet
 This hand puppet from Melissa & Doug is so cute!  Recently Emma has been doing sock puppet shows or shadow puppets for us.  

5: Cinderella Nightgown 
 This nightgown is from Target and Emma found it one day when we were looking for clothes to try on.  


Addi is super easy to shop for.  Mainly because she likes just about everything Emma likes.  But there are a few things that she loves that isn't the same as Emma.  One thing is Blue's Clues.  She'll even sing the song when she wants to watch it.  So I think for Christmas a Blue's Clues stuffed animal is a must.  Here are a few things she seems to be interested in:

1: Belle and Toddler Dress Set
 I know that if Emma gets a new doll Addi will HAVE to have want one and she always points out Belle when we're reading Princess books.

2: Blue's Clues Stuffed Animal 
  Like I said, she needs Blue and I found her on Amazon!

3: Blue's Clues Book 
 While searching for Blue I found this book and it's perfect for her: A Blue's Clues Holiday.

4: Brave DVD
   This is one movie that the four of us have wanted to see for awhile.

5: Whittle World Wooden School Bus
 I'm in love with Melissa & Doug's toys especially their wooden toys.  The girls get excited whenever they see a school bus drive by so basically this is a perfect toy for both.

6: Animal Rescue Shape Sorting Truck  WIN THIS!!
  Again, love Melissa & Doug.  This toy is perfect for an almost 2year old and since she likes animals it will encourage her to perfect her sorting skills.

My Christmas Wishlist 2012

1: New Outfit 
 I love everything about this outfit!  I think since having kids I've my personal style has gone downhill.  I've been slowly adding pieces to my wardrobe but it's hard to find things that fit right or that I really like.   
  
2: Mom's necklace
  A friend of mine makes these and I love this one.  Picture it with an E and an A and nothing on the bird, super cute!

3: Fuel Band 
 I've had my eye on one of these for awhile and think it will help me lose the lbs and keep up on my progress.      

4: Fur Vest
 This vest is amazing and would be a great addition to my wardrobe.

5: Yoga Pants 
 Since I LOVE working out, it's almost time for new yoga/running pants and these are perfect!

6: Apron
 Since most of my days are spent cooking it's time momma has her own apron.  I love this style!

7: Riding Boots
 Do I really need to say how amazing these boots are?  They would go great with just about everything.

8: Watch
Since Addi thought mom's everyday watch should go swimming in the toilet it's time for a new watch.  I love the different colored numbers and the white band.  

Wordless Wednesday: Thankful

With Thanksgiving coming up we've pulled out our Turkey feet and I even put turkeys on our pumpkin pancakes.

I really can't believe it's fall and Thanksgiving is right around the corner and right around the next corner is Christmas!  Now it's the time of the year that I start getting my addresses put together and pick out the perfect Christmas Cards.  Once we start receiving our holiday cards I'll hang them up again.  Oh, I can't wait to see our house decorated for Christmas and I think it all begins with our cards. This was our card wall last year, by the end of the holidays this wall was over flowing.  I'm so excited for this year!

 I fell in love with Tiny Prints last year when I ordered our Christmas cards.  To be honest I'll probably pull out last years card and hang it again this year it is just too cute.

Halloween 2012

This Halloween was by far the best!  The girls are old enough that they know what to do and love going door to door trick or treating.  My sister in law and brother in law and their kids came over and the 10 of us went trick or treating.  Emma had so much fun keeping up with the boys and Addi tried to keep up.  She actually did a great job staying with them her little legs just slowed her down hut didn't stop her.  There was even a point towards the end that I was carrying her and figured we'd skip a house.  Yeah, she didn't like that idea and looked at me and yelled "go!" She was determined to hit every house.  Even though Emma was complaining that her feet were hurting and wanted to be carried she still came running down each driveway ready to go to the next house.  By the end of the night we were all pooped and ready for bed.  The girls weren't happy about going to bed because they wanted to eat candy. 

Here are some pictures from our night.  I didn't get any good ones of them together because Addi wanted to go out instead of letting me take pictures. 

How was your Halloween?  Did you take your kids out? 

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Halloween

We went to a pumpkin patch on Sunday and had a blast.  It was a little chilly that morning but it didn't stop us.  We were smart and got there early because by the time we left it was getting busy. 

Wrangling some cattle (Addi wasn't a fan)

The girls got their faces painted.

My new favorite family picture

I said I'd post a picture of my hair cut. So here it is curly and I love it!!
