Music Box and Ornament Exchange



Madison has recently decided that she wants to be a princess, and her friend Brittlee shares her passion… as you can imagine, this leads to some pretty fun play dates! Last week I gave Madison my old jewelry box from when I was younger. It’s one of those that wind up and when you open it, the ballerina spins to “I could have danced all night”. Those girls were SO excited to play with it! They were actually really great about taking turns too; I never heard a single argument out of them over it (which if you know these girls is pretty hard to believe!!)! Since that day Madison is rarely without her new music box. She keeps it on her nightstand so she can listen to it when she goes to sleep and play with it first thing when she wakes up. Too funny!

This weekend we traveled back to visit family again, this time for an ornament exchange with our cousins. My ornaments turned out dang cute but were SUCH A PAIN TO MAKE!! Next year I'll go with a MUCH simpler idea! :0) It was a great evening (great food, great fun, great games, great ornaments, great prizes, great dessert… just you know, great!). I’m excited to keep the tradition up! Everyone’s ornaments turned out SO COOL! It was really fun seeing what everyone brought, and well, seeing everyone! We never get the chance to see that side of my family so that in itself was a treat!

Now knowing that Ryan is giving us his car, I paid close attention to it when we drove it! I know, I’m such a dork but I’m SO EXCITED!! Less than a month! WOOHOO!!

And finally, I took the time to capture Madison playing outside in the wind today and the pictures turned out so fun I wanted to share them. Enjoy!

Cute pictures :o). That's awesome that there was no fighting over that toy! and I'm sure it kept them busy al day!
Thanks so much for doing the ornament exchange. It was really fun and so nice to see all of your family again. I just love you and your sisters! Your bros too :o) We will definitely have to make this a tradition. We should switch off who is in charge of it so you guys don't have to stress about it every year.
Anyway, it was good to see you guys again!
