The Adventures of Pinocchio (Elf on a Shelf)


Flying the My Little Pony Airplane...


Decorating a Christmas tree...


Whoops!  What a mess!


Giddy up!


Syrup is good!


Sweet tooth!


Girls night out!


Excuse me - privacy please!


Caught red handed!


Whee!!



Rolling our bathroom!


Busted.


Time to wrap some presents...


Naughty elf - it isn't nice to throw Olivia's underwear on the Christmas tree!


Olivia always said she wanted to be one of Santa's elves...


Relaxing before the big night...


Snow angels!


Happy Birthday Jesus!

Finally! The Good Picture of Olivia and Santa!


So very proud of her for overcoming her fear and sitting on Santa's lap!

Guess Who Sat on Santa's Lap this Year?


Not Lilly.  She was not a fan.


But Olivia finally found the courage to do so and loved him!  She handed him the letters we wrote and told him that she wanted a Thomas the Train set, a Doodle Bear, and the game Operation.  

Take a close look at this picture...bet you can't guess why we didn't buy it?  Still not sure?  Look closer at Olivia's finger...!!!!  I will hopefully post the better picture later once I fix my scanner but this one is certainly the funniest of the two!

Pinocchio wasn't going to be left out....


Pinocchio stole the pirate ship...


And looted the treasure chest!

Happy Birthday Daddy and Lilly!


Daddy turned 35 this year and we unfortunately weren't able to do much, but his favorite girls did bake him a homemade birthday cake...



The icing was a hit!


I promise they licked the spoons after we iced the cake...


Adding the sprinkles...


Voila!  Have you ever seen anything so pretty!?


For Lilly's 2nd Birthday we had a "Pink Pirate Party."  It was a BLAST!


Ashley made the girls special shirts and hair clips...


We made homemade cupcakes (that weren't that pretty so you won't see a close up of them)...


All the guests received a pirate hat, sword and eye patch...



And we had buried treasure with candy, jewels, tattoos and gold doubloons hidden around the house for the kids to find (Olivia was in charge of hiding the treasure chests - which was a problem since she went and found them for everyone rather than letting others hunt.  That girl cannot keep a secret...)



Aargh Mateys!



Pictures with the birthday girl!


Pink Pirate Cakepops courtesy of Christi Hayne - YUM!


A family of pirates!



Even Grammie and Grandpa got into the fun!




Sword fighting!





Finding the buried treasure...


Octopus for dinner anyone?



This girl loves to sing Happy Birthday and eat birthday cake!




She loved her presents - thanks everyone for coming!







So Thankful!

I am so thankful that God gave me my two crazy, wild and beautiful giggling girls!  Somewhere along the way I must have done something right!
