Thankful

I have so much to be thankful for.  I sit here this morning, just got home from working out, thinking about all the packing I need to get done, laundry I need to finish and beds that need to be made, but really I just need to reflect on how thankful I am first.  I have my health, an amazing family, two incredible kids, a husband that I adore more than anything and a house that we've made our own.  Before the hustle and bustle starts today, I am thankful.

For these two.  They make everyday special and I am so lucky God chose me to be their mom.  These two are my biggest accomplishment in life.  

For homemade arts.  I don't ever want to forget how little these hands and feet were and how proud they were of their work they bring home.

For wine after long days... 

For Christmas coming and how excited my little ones are about this... 

For Scott.  He is the love of my life.  We are such a good team and I couldn't imagine life without him.  He not only is the best husband, but he is an incredible daddy.

For our little family... 

Happy Thanksgiving!!! XXOO

Frozen Princess Tea Party

 We always said we were going to let Ireland discover what she loves.  If it was trucks and Ninja Turtles like her brother, or princesses and babies like her friends, we didn't care.  I swear there is a switch in her brain that told her she is a little girl and only loves princesses and baby dolls.  She is a little girl through and through.  She loves shoes and clothes and taking care of baby dolls and cooking food in her kitchen and anything and everything princesses, especially Frozen.  

Back in May, Betsy and I took Sofia and Ireland to Cinderella's Royal Tea Party.  The girls were in awe.  Betsy and I were so excited to take the girls to the Frozen Tea Party.  Ireland had and Anna and Elsa dress, but lately she is so in to dressing up that she had worn these out.  This meant GramMo got her a new dress for her Tea Party, complete with an Elsa silver cardigan.  To say she was excited was an understatement.  Baby girl was telling strangers she was going to a Frozen Tea party to meet princesses.   

I'm sad I didn't get tons of pictures of the place settings.  They were adorable and each table had castles and treats for every little girl.  Ireland was excited to have her cousin, Avery, there too!!!  

Ireland got to meet lots of different princesses!  She started with meeting Cinderella.  Cinderella gave the little girls a lesson on different waves and how to curtsy.  Ireland took this very seriously.   

Next, she got to meet Elsa and Anna.  She was literally shaking she was so excited.  This almost made me tear up.  I love her love of princesses!!   

She had a balloon animal made for her too. 

The girls liked meeting the princesses, but LOVED to dance!!! 

Each princess rotated to each table to meet the girls.  They gave each girl a bead to add to a bracelet they were given.  Ireland could have cared less about the beads, but she loved meeting them all.  

Belle... 

Snow White... 

 Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland...

Olaf... 

Jasmine... 

Dance break... 

Peter Pan... 

She was in awe... 

Rapunzel... 

The girls got Rapunzel to dance with them...

Tinkerbell, who gave pixie dust on their girls' foreheads instead of a bead...

Merida... 

Arielle...

Tiana... 

Alice in Wonderland... 

Then Anna and Elsa took the girls on a walk so they could sing on stage... 

She took her singing and dancing very seriously...

After the Tea Party, we met Scott and Cohan for dinner.  He was so sweet and asked them all about their party.  These three crack me up!!
