A Baby Changes Everything...........

I just heard this amazing song on CMT and I had to share it. I stopped what I was doing and had to listen to it.......I had to stop running around preparing for Christmas and stop and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Our Disney Trip

McKenna got an early Christmas present from Santa this year...........she got a trip to Disney World. We went with my cousin Nicole and her family. We had so much fun!! The Christmas decorations were amazing!! We were able to visit all 4 parks and McKenna rode every ride. She's my little dare devil and roller coasters are her favorite. We rode Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom........it's a pretty intense roller coaster for a 6 yr old but she loved it. She kept wanting to do it again! This was our second time visiting Disney and it was nice to go at Christmas but the crowds are way better in February!!

my child the future star..........

I'm a member of a website called www.gymborebel.com. If you have kids and love to talk about them then this is the site for you!! There are a lot of Gymboree addicts like myself and anytime a new line comes out we take pictures of our kids in the clothes to exchange outfit ideas and sizing info. Well tonight I got McKenna to do her "fashion show" as she calls it and this is what I got..........keep in mind all I said was smile pretty. My child definitely has a future in acting!!

it's so funny......

I can sew!!!!

So I've been dabbling a little here and there with my sewing machine and finally.......I get it!! I have been dying to make McKenna some of the outfits I've seen on etsy.com but have just been buying them instead. I bought a pattern and material months ago to make her a top to wear to Disney. We're leaving next Wednesday so I decided to give it a shot. I am so amazed at how well it turned out. I had to share the pictures!!

Here's the front......you can tell McKenna loves it!!

this is the back.......

Thanksgiving

This year was the first Thanksgiving that I spent without my family. My parents decided to go to Florida to be with my sister and Brannon's family went to their cabin. Unfortunately Brannon and I both had to work Friday so we were unable to go. We decided to do Thanksgiving at our house and invite some friends. It was my first time cooking an entire meal like that but I have to say I did pretty good.....thanks to the help of McKenna and Paul Deen. I hate that we were unable to spend the day with family but at least we were able to spend it with great friends!! Here's some pics I took of McKenna before everyone came over. I just got a new camera a month or so ago and I'm obsessed with taking pictures with it!! Sorry so many!!
