Advent Calendars Finally

We finally got our advent calendars on Dec 7th. We look for them at alot of stores but grandma Karen finally found them at Safeway. So now the kids want to eat all 7 chocolates they missed in one day. MMM... So I am thinking this year I will get them a real resuable advent house.

Violet's Birthday Party

Evan would not let Nana's attention go to anyone else. He was really missing her when she was on vacation. He won't let her get so far away next time.

Nana's yummy cupcakes. I actually had 2. Thanks Nana!!!

Violet liked eating the paper more then the presents, I think.

Thanks Violet for having a birthday.

Thanks Cheri for the wonderful party. Violet was so cute in Violet. The decorations were fabulous.
