Valentine's Bunco!

I REALLY LOVE hosting bunco! My Mom and I always have fun shopping for decorations together. We have such an awesome group of girls who play bunco, so it's always a blast! Obviously, I had to decorate for Valentine's Day this time. I ordered Olive Garden's salad, bread sticks and lasagna....yum. Then we had chocolate fondue with strawberries, pineapple, raspberries, pound cake, rice crispy treats and marshmallows to dip it in!

Remember Mad Libs? I found a Valentine's one online and printed it and had all the girls fill it out. It was hilarious!

The feather boa was "traveler", so whoever had traveler got to wear it!

The girls enjoying some chocolate!

I hosted two days after my 30th bday, so they surprised me with gorgeous flowers, cupcakes, a gift card to MiMi's and sang to me! So sweet!

Spending Time at Grandma's!

Right before Christmas, we were able to go visit Grandma and see the new baby horses. We always have such a good time out there! We don't get to see Elaine often enough. I love this first picture of her and Jocelyn holding hands. So sweet!

This is such a cute picture of the horses, unfortunately we had the camera set on manual mode so some of these are blurry. Bummer.

One of the three colts. I can't remember all their names though.

The Pledge of Allegiance

"Mom, today our principal forgot to say The Pledge of Allegiance, so when I went outside and saw the flag, I just said it myself!"


Isn't that adorable?!?! I could just squeeze her!!!!

Next year for Christmas...

Jocelyn: "Grandpa, I know what I'm going to have to ask Santa for Christmas next year. Well, he brought me a bunch of pencils in my stocking and now I need a pencil sharpener. I know it's not very exciting, BUT sometimes you just have to ask for something you NEED."

I just love this girl. I bet we can find her a pencil sharpener before next Christmas!

I had to add this....My Dad told me while he was on the phone with Jocelyn, she said, "Grandpa, I know what you should get Michelle for Christmas. A dime-in-a-ring. They are beautiful!"

Thanksgiving and Christmas activities.

Thanksgiving dinner and some crazy little girl! haha.

I need to get more pictures next year!!

My beautiful Willow Tree Nativity.

Enjoying her treat!

Hot chocolate while we drive around and look at Christmas lights!

Not our house, but proof we went to look at lights. :)

You can still find us here EVERY Saturday morning. Bright and early! She loves it.

Jocelyn's Birthday

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, JOCELYN!

Jewelry box with jewelry making beads.

She has wanted her own alarm clock for awhile. The first morning, the alarm went off like she wanted it to, but she couldn't remember how to turn it off. So I went in there and she said, "MOM! The thing won't BE QUIET!" The next morning, we went in and it was unplugged! HA!

Her favorite breakfast. Daddy's pancakes and bacon.

Ready for school.

Arts and crafts.

Her best friend, Jessica.
