Happy Holidays!

Well, I probably won't be doing a lot of blogging since Christmas is literally 3 days away!! We'll be busy having different Christmases with different family members and all. And then right after Christmas is done it will be time to get ready for my cousin's wedding! And not too mention the bridal shower that is going to be here at my house -Jan. 1st- Eeek! I don't even know how I'm gonna have the house clean after all the Christmas mess?! And go figure that it seems like the kitchen cabinets are falling apart -1 of our drawers has been missing the front for awhile but, within the last week the hinge broke on the door we normally open for the trash, a knob fell off another door-etc. too-Oy! I told my husband that all he has to get me for Christmas is get all that fixed -He has looked for a replacement drawer;hinge but, so far no luck-Really hoping it can be fixed asap *crossing fingers*

Well, anyways so just a lot going on here-Whew!

But...I did want to say -Happy Holidays!! Whether it'd be a Happy Hanukkah,Kwanzaa,or a Merry Christmas your celebrating! :)

Daughter's Birthday/Party -I survived another 1 !

It's that time of year again my daughter's birthday!

Ever since we've lived in this house (about 4 yrs.) we've had her B-day party here at our house to help save on funds and all. Besides I happen to think we have a pretty nice yard and everything. But, after doing the same type of thing for a few years it all seems kinda-blah! I was thinking about going somewhere else -Yeah not slaving away to clean the house before and after does sound nice too ;) We thought about some kind of mini golf thing or something but, after realizing how expensive it would be and especially after our vacation we decided to have it here again. I always try to think of a different theme -I again felt kinda blah on that -We've done a Treasure hunt theme,Hawaiian Luau theme,Hannah Montana theme. (Good thing we did Hannah Montana last year-Cause like Duh! My daughter doesn't like her much anymore-since like forever-You know like a few weeks ago ;) Anyways, I like to start on a theme and go from there-I like the idea of doing a craft with the theme that the kids can take home -We've done a treasure chest to hold their treasures, Sand Art,a Backstage Pass. This year again I was getting kinda stumped -It's hard having a tween! Can't do anything too kiddish but still want to do something. Luckily my family helped me come up with a garden theme. My mind started going then...

So we had the party this past Saturday! - The gals painted a plant pot, I also got little kits that had a little plant already to go in a little pot-(Gotta love Target's Dollar Spot!) They seemed to enjoy doing that and just playing outside. Then of course we did the usual Presents,Cake-etc.

It all turned out pretty well! Check out the pics! If you notice my daughter and her BCF (Best Cousin Forever) even wore matching outfits :) And here's some of the finished products /decorations!
