Baili's song

A song by Baili Rose Elber. Enjoy!

S-no-W Fun

On Christmas Eve the girls and I have Aunt Shavonne, baby Sam and Aunt Aimee over for a Christmas eve brunch. We made crapes with strawberries and bananas and peaches and yogurt, bacon, and muffin tin egg omelets, and of course OJ. It was so fun to have them over. While they were here it started snowing (the snow here has been uh not so here this winter, which I am not complaining about by any means, just saying). The snow flakes were like sheets of paper. They were huge. I love it when it snows like that. Its like real snow in my opinion. Anyways, the girls wanted to go out and play in it, I was holding Sam so I sent them on their way with Aimee. They tried to catch the flakes in their mouths. It was fun to watch. Once they all got out there they realized they all had on the fuzzy hooded coats, and Aimee had to get a picture. It was not easy to get a pic because their hats were so Fuphy (is that a word?) that it was hard to get all three of them in the shot. I was standing at the door watching with Sam, so Aimee got a picture of me doing that as well.
Anyways, here are the pictures from that day. It was fun, and will be a memory I will have forever.

Being crafty

So a couple years ago (years?!!!) my good friend and her son were living with me and moved out. When they moved she asked me if I wanted an old dresser that she was going to just be getting rid of. I said yes thinking that I would fix it up and give it a little TLC. Well two years later I finally did it. Here are some before and after pictures of it. I got the idea on pintrest on what to do with it. I found some scrapbook paper that I really liked and it went well with my bedroom colors that I have got going on. So I spray painted the dresser brown and then I cut and mod poged the paper to the drawers. I went to Lowe's and got some new knobs and Walla! I think it turned out pretty nice if you ask me. And it was super easy to do.

Holiday Festivities

Yesterday we made some gingerbread houses. We make them using graham crackers, and as you can see from he pictures LOTS of candy. We had John and his kids come over and make them with us. We had a lot of fun making them, and the girls were on a sugar high for a while after that. They both were very excited about how theirs turned out.

Last weekend was Baili and Kristen's primary program. They both wore the dresses that Grandma and Grandpa Weber got them for their birthdays. They are so pretty. The program went off well. They both said their parts well and sang so pretty. Baili's part was "Repentance brings forgiveness" and Kristen's part was "Reverence is love and respect for God." I love the primary program and I look forward to it every year. All the kids are so cute and fun to watch, and their sweet little voices just make me melt.

Enjoy the pictures!

Make-up or warrior paint?

There is a young woman in my ward who is my "usual" baby-sitter for the girls. She is so sweet and my girls love her. Over the last two years our families have gotten somewhat close and my girls just love their sitter. She spoils them too, which I think may be one reason why they love her so. Well last Saturday at our ward Christmas breakfast, my girls were talking with their sitter and she asked them what they wanted to Christmas. Kristen stated she wanted a licence plate (aka drivers licence) and Baili wanted a make-up set. Well last night she stopped by baring gifts. My girls were ecstatic. She gave Kristen a decorated with beads licence plate and gave Baili a nice little make-up set.

Well over the last two days they girls have decided that their rooms should become "play rooms" (imagine that concept). I was/am all for this idea and I lovingly encouraged this idea. I support them in keeping their toys in their playroom, and using their sweet imaginations in their playroom forts they build and other such activities that they do in their playrooms. I support them because, well I would not want to be the mother who wouldn't let her own kids have fun in their playroom, and because I'm cool like that. Am I right?

Anyways, tonight after dinner they decided to go play makeover in their playroom. At first they came upstairs with some eye shadow on. And if you ask me it was done pretty well for a 7 year old. But then they got a little carried away and this was the result...
