Matt, Addisyn, and I hosted our first "Ugly Christmas Sweater" party! Everyone had a really good time laughing over everyone's very stylish sweaters/shirts/vests! We just might have to make this an annual thing.

Matt's Company Christmas party and announcement about his promotion!

At Matt's Christmas company party they announced his promotion to director! I am so very proud of my hubby for all his hard work and dedication to his family and career. He takes great care of both and we can't be more proud of him for his accomplishment!

Addisyn loved writing her letter to Santa!

Addi worked so hard preparing her letter to Santa! :) When we were finished we took it to the post office where she thought it was pretty cool her letter was going to be personally delivered to the North Pole!

Have to brag on my niece and nephews! Just love these little ones and miss them like crazy!

Aren't they the cutest kiddos?! Mercedes is doing such a great job learning how to ice skate. I think she is an Olympian in the making! Hogan and Harper are such cute little boys (brothers)that I love going to OKC to visit...Harper and I have a special connection because I got to see him being delivered this past June. Then there is Ryder...there is no forgetting to mention this little monster! He is Mercedes' brother. I honestly hope that Keaton is just as full of the personality that Ryder is because he just cracks me up!

Keaton's Baby Shower!

My little, but growing family are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends. We were given a beautiful shower by dear friends-Micah, Debbie, Shelby, and Randi! Keaton is already being spoiled with all the nice gifts we received and continue to receive. Addi was also given some "Big Sister" gifts that she thought was pretty cool!

December 4th was a great kick-off to Christmas!

On Saturday morning, we met up with the Hazelwood family at the Sachse Fire Department for pancakes and pictures with Santa! We had a great time visiting with our friends over our great tasting pancakes and watching Addisyn visit with Santa. I also got to love on sweet Ashlyn...she is just so precious! Can't wait until her and Keaton get to meet.

Debbie, Ashlyn, and I went shopping afterwards and had a really good time! I have really missed my dear friend at work and was glad to get some time with her and sweet Ashlyn! Our day was not quite over at that point because after shopping and lunch we went to visit Santa (again!) in the Maxwell Creek neighborhood. We even got to see "real" reindeer! After that (!) we headed to the Wylie Christmas Parade with the Talley and Williams families. We topped off our day having dinner with them after the parade. Yes, after this full day we were tired!

Christmas Cards From Shutterfly!

Wow! Shutterfly has a great collection of Christmas Cards! We are about to have our Christmas taken so I began looking around the online picture ordering websites and Shutterfly was beyond a doubt the one we are going to use this year! I always struggle finding this good of a selection as well as the great pricing. This is our last year of it just being a family of three so I want the pictures to be very special for us! I love the fact that you can upload your own photos and use them on the cards! Shutterfly doesn't charge an upload fee like Vistaprint does!
I have used Shutterfly for several years. It goes beyond just printing pictures to have them delivered to your house. There are endless possibilities with Shutterfly...great gift ideas!
