Disneyland Day 1

Disneyland is more fun as a parent of little kids. Everything is amazing to them. They loved almost every ride they went on and wanted to go again and again. They couldn’t comprehend that there were many more things to do and see. We did dumbo twice, teacups 4-5 times, Jackson did Autopia 4 times and Toy Story Midway twice. When we asked him what is favorite was though it was Soarin California where he got to fly! Lacey loved meeting princesses and especially Cinderella. She’s her favorite.
Here are some highlights.

Little Hair cut

Lacey’s hair had grown so long… but only in the back, so we decided it was time for Lacey’s first hair cut to even things out a little. We took her down to Jackson’s favorite place, where they give you a dum-dum after they’re done. She sat very still and was very good. Jackson was able to get his hair cut too in the chair right next to Lacey and they both liked that. Then at the end, they chose their suckers and we were on our way!  Here are the best before and after shots I could get of Lacey:


p.s. – don’t worry, we didn’t lose the curls, she just doesn’t like to spend that much time on her hair.

Projects

I told you I’d update you when I finished a few more projects… well, I’ve had so much fun getting things ready for Christmas this year. This is what I’ve been up to:

JOY plaques – Thanks to Micah for helping cut the wood and doing some of the spray painting for me! It really was a joint effort.

Christmas Jars – I think I’ll make some of these for myself and fill them with something I can keep up year round. I was a little disappointed with the jars I found, but I still think they turned out pretty good.

And Finally…

This little doll. I learned a lot on this one. I’m not great at sewing or reading patterns, but I just decided to go for it anyways.  It’s definitely not perfect but I was happy with the results, and my kids were pretty impressed (that’s all that really matters… right?).

It was so fun to see the progress as each of these came together! I’m loving this hobby, but I’m thinking its going to have to take a back burner for a few months in about 9-10 weeks. I’m getting excited!

Merry Christmas!

I thought doing a Christmas card would be a good idea this year… little did I know, the store we ordered from had other things in mind for us this year! After many, many attempts to make it happen, we came out with just enough to send a hard copy to some family, so I’ve decided to post our well wishes to the blog! Oh well –  We still hope you have a Merry Christmas, and know we were thinking of you as we  tried to print and send out cards!

Yuba City Trip

We visited Micah’s family for Thanksgiving. The kids were great travelers in the car, and although the drive was long, it was really quite nice. While there we had a great Thanksgiving dinner, played a lot with cousins, had a fun after-thanksgiving turkey trot, went to Tristan’s baptism,
