Holiday Parties - WARNING: Picture Overload

If you are looking for my giveaway, you can find that here.

It is that time of year again! The kids all had their holiday parties on the same day so Troy and I had to split up. I was bummed to not be able to make Ethan's so no pictures to share from his.

Mollee's was first. Can I just say that I love her teacher? She is very observant and on top of things. But the best thing is that she is a lot of fun and good with the kids. One of the mom's in Mollee's class put together some Texas styled snowballs (flour in pantyhose). The whole class headed outside to the basketball courts and had a lot of fun time pounding each other with these homemade snowballs. And Mollee's teacher did not leave unscathed. She was the first person they all took off after. She was such a good sport. Mollee got a few good shots to the head/hair. We ended up having to hose her down with the air hose when we got home. It didn't help that her dear, sweet teacher used her as a shield. LOL! Soooooo much fun and a memory she will remember for a long time!! Be sure and click on the individual pictures to make them larger.

Some of their holiday projects included a few new ornaments made by the kids.

Mollee and her fantastic teacher!

Unfortunately, we will not be fitting in this outfit next year. :(

I even remembered to get a shot of Mollee and I. Can you tell she had her mouth full of some kind of goody?

And now on to my other little lady.....Baylee's party was much more low key. But let me tell you, the moms of this class sure know how to fill your bellies with good stuff. They had peppermint bark and chocolate rice crispy treats (my two faves), every kind of cookie imaginable, candy, sandwiches and other sugary goodness. The kids played a few games of bingo and won some great prizes. Overall, the kids had a blast.

And last but not least, a pic of my girls together.

Sorry for the picture overload. Believe it or not, I did only share just a few. Hope everyone else had fun holiday parties as well!

Merry Christmas from the Priddys

Every year at Thanksgiving my sister-in-law and her family head down our way for a week. During this visit, we always try and get pictures of my kids plus my two nephews for Christmas cards. This year was no different. It turned into a mini-photo shoot and below are a few pictures from that day. it was fun and the kids were really cooperative (THANK GOODNESS). I am not sure which one of us I will be using. There were several that turned out really good! OH! And you can click on the pictures to make them larger.

The whole crew including my nephews' dog, Scruffy.

This one turned out better than I thought. Just wish I would not have so many dark and bright spots.

During this holiday season, we would like to wish you and yours a safe, healthy and happy holiday!! Remember the reason behind the celebration and enjoy!! I hope the rest of 2009 leaves you with lots of great memories!

P.S. I am taking the remainder of this week to work on some personal projects as well as new stuff for my shop. Stay tuned next week for some new listings.

Holiday Cheer - WARNING: Picture Overload

Just a warning......there are LOTS of pictures! I had a hard time picking which pics to share. I took a TON! This is post one of my holiday goodness. I haven't even downloaded Christmas Eve and Christmas morning pics. I really love this time of year. I love decorating, Christmas music, all the yummy food and especially the quality time with friends and family. This is our first Christmas without my grandma and she was extremely missed. She always made Christmas extra special. We made it through and still managed to have a wonderful holiday. I hope all of you did too.

First, as stated in a previous post, I got to visit with one of my very best friends, Sarah, and her son, Kaiman, who happens to be my godchild. Man, he really has grown up! It makes me feel old. LOL! He will be 17 in March and DRIVES! UGH! Where does the time go???



Kaiman and I. Just for reference, I am 5'8. Isn't he a handsome monster?



This is Sarah. I have known her since middle school and is also Mollee's godmother.




Sarah and her baby (SNIFF).



Ethan, Aunt Sarah and Sarah's nephew sweet baby B! Wish he would have been looking at the camera. He is a cutie!



Aunt Sarah and Baylee being festive!

Now on the school parties. We had three parties in two days. Whew did they wear us out! The kids had a lot of fun though and I am thrilled that all three kids have wonderful teachers and are really enjoying the school year.



Me & Bay.

Next, we have our annual Prioux family Christmas party. This party consists of German Chocolate cake for my dad's birthday, Popeye's Chicken, LOTS of sweet, a little liquor, some gift exchanging and LOTS of laughs! This year was no exception.

And finally.....Dad blowing out the candles.

Like I said.....GREAT times! Looking forward to doing it again next year!

If you are still looking/reading, thanks for sticking with me! I will be back in a day or two with more pics.

Have a great weekend!
