On Friday, Addi and I had a self proclaimed PJ day. I had several activities lined up for us to do and we had a blast! I've been stocking up at Hobby Lobby on these little crafts and right now everything is 50% off so you can get these craft packs for a few dollars and buy yourself some precious memory making time. This one was a color your own gingerbread village kit.
Addi's favorite thing is to bring me my coffee. Once it's cool of course. :)
Pretty gingerbread things!
I was so impressed with her attempts to color inside the lines!
And this one too!
Addi didn't nap this day so I decided we needed another activity to do. We made cupcakes!
We made enchiladas for dinner and I have a little tip! If you boil your chicken, you know how long it takes to shred chicken to put in casseroles or whatever? I saw this idea on Pinterest, but you put the chicken immediately into your mixer with the paddle attachment and it makes perfectly shredded chicken in seconds. It works!
Saturday, we went and ate lunch at Milford, then Addi and I went to Niki's cookie exchange party! It was super fun and we had a blast. Niki had such a beautiful food table set up and all the cookies were so delicious.
Silly hat fun.
Ryanne joins in on the hat fun.
And of course, my daughter always ends up on some table at every party we go to. Sigh. :)
Maybe it is fun!
We have decided to switch Addi to the older classroom at church, so today she came and sat with us in big church until it was time for the kids to be dismissed to go to children's church. She did really good! She LOVED the singing, but when it came time for prayer or other quiet times, she was a little talkative. Haha! It was a good first attempt and I'm going to bring a quiet bag with us next time. The kids today got to do a fun stocking stuffer thing with crafts and even Santa was there! Addi was pretty indifferent until she sat in his lap. I'm pretty sure she would have sat there all day if she could have.
Giving Santa an M&M.
After church, we headed to Searcy for lunch and then to take our Christmas card picture.
A little sneak peek!
I ordered our cards tonight, so I'm excited to check that one off my list!
