Christmas Morning

I've been so busy the last two months that I haven't kept up with my blog. So here is my attempt to catch everyone up.
This was Christmas morning with the girls and Nana. We had such a great day, really enjoyed each other and RELAXED all day.

Birthday (last one)

The concept of presents is still new to Campbell, but Mackenzie was sure to
help explain how it works.
We couldn't get her to dive into the cupcakes, but she has found a new favorite candy... Gumdrops! Later this week we were decorating Gingerbread men and she dove over the table for the bowl of gumdrops.




All the kids loved the music and was so happy to help teach Campbell how to "shake shake shake her silly's out"!









Birthday (part 2)

I don't think any of the kids had fun, it sure doesn't look like it!

We also had a music teacher come and sing some songs and play some music games with the kids. Everyone was so jumping and singing to the music. Campbell was mesmerized by the music. She clapped her hands, beat the drums and had a great time being with all of her friends.




I thought this was so cute, Campbell and Mackenzie drawing together.



Finally Campbell meets Reilly, soon they can have a play date the really involves playing.




I'm One, I'm One (part 1)

Yes, my second little girl is already 1!! I really can't believe it, this time last year we were in and out of the hospital trying to get her to gain weight. Well, I guess we did a good job at that one, have you seen the rolls on her legs?
We had such a great time at her party, There was edible play dough, and finger paint for the little ones, and as you can see above Campbell was not interested in painting more eating.


There really wasn't a theme but we had the Blue and Purple colors going on.






"Happy 1st Wish", these were the banners I made for her birthday. I hope she can use them in years to come.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am not sure if the Turkey made her sleepy, or the excitment of playing with her cousins.

Gotcha! Caught with the cookie BEFORE dinner. Little sneak.
Happy Holidays to everyone, we love you and miss seeing you more often. It was great getting to see my family even if it was for a short time.


I love that they love each other so much!! It's so sweet.




Princess Tea Party

Service Please! Mackenzie was invited to her friend Mary "Mac's" Birthday Tea Party.
This was right up her alley, Prince Andrew sereved all the girls some tea, and deviled eggs. I think Mackenzie has a crush on Andrew.

They had fun coloring and making their own special princess crowns.




Campbell had fun too, she really just wanted the cake!!



The girls looked so cute all dressed in their favorite costumes. Thank you Mary Mclean for a great party!



Grandpa's Visit

The weekend before Thanksgiving we celebrated the holidays with Grandpa and Grandma Duke and Aunt Amanda. They came from Newnan, GA to play with the girls.
They decorated a Rice Krispy house, Yummy!





And we got to open LOTS of presents. I think Santa snuck in a few here there were so many.



But the most favorite of all was Mackenzie's own special Christmas Tree for her room.
It's white with pink and purple bubles and a beautiful pokadot bow on top. Everynight we have to let her fall asleep with her tree lights sparkling in her eyes.
And on that note, She now gave up her pull ups and sleeps in panties!!! Hooray.
