Lola's 8th Birthday

Lola and her super chocolaty cake. Double layer of chocolate cake with Kit-Kats mixed into chocolate icing in the middle of the layers, then iced with chocolate icing, then Kit-Kats stuck to sides and finally covered with M&M's. WOW!

Teacher Lola

Aunt Cindy made Lola a "Teacher Kit" for one of her Christmas presents.  She spent hours last night teaching her babies.  The big ones were in one classroom, because they are older, and the little ones were in a different class room.  She was a busy teacher.  

 She did have to get on to one of her students because they showed up to school with no clothes on.  When she sent her home (to the couch) to do her homework she told her when she came back she needed to be dressed.  

Thank you Aunt Cindy!

Happy Holiday 2011

CHRISTMAS EVE 

Shane got Mer-Ken as his Dirty Santa Gift!  HAHAHAHA

Lola was torn between the Ken doll and a super sparkly water  bottle.  She made a good choice because Shane ended up giving her the Ken when it was all said and done.  Well played Lola, well played.

Chas selecting his gift....what's it going to be???

SOCKS - YIPPEE!

Shane got a consolation prize of socks too.

Sam and Sophie traded and both were happy.  Sam got a doggie printed fleece blanket and Soph got 2 pairs of fuzzy slipper socks.

CHRISTMAS MORNING

Soph got several xBox games.  

(Good for Mommy - I was getting bored with the ones we already had!)

Lola opening her gifts.

Oh my! She got the Red Ryder BB Gun she hoped for!

Never in a million years would I think that I would let my child have a gun...let alone my 7 year old daughter!

at Nana & Poppy's house for more presents

Sophie got lots of cute clothes!

Lola wanted a BOY baby doll.  Not as easy to find as you would expect.  She ended up with 3 baby dolls all together...2 of which were boys.

Our bookworm and her new Kindle.

Sophie got Poppy to put on her new Panda hat from Justice.

Lola couldn't wait to go outside and try out her new gun.  GOOD NEWS - She DIDN'T shoot her eye out!

Lola got a Zombie Lab.  Its a disgusting looking laboratory where you can make edible items such as brains, bugs, snot and barf.  YUMMY!

Tonight we made the brains and some bugs.  They were kinda neat looking but not yummy by any means.

I got a super cute Owl Clock from Tommye.  I love it. It has a pendulum....very neat.
