Lizzy's Barbielicious Birthday Bash

Sweet Lizzy turned 7 this month! Hard to believe my little one is getting so big!

She celebrated with some of her friends and a lot of Barbie.

We lucked out with beautiful weather! I put out a shop light and the kids bounced until 9:30 when the guy took it down. 

Pin the sunglasses on Barbie!

We also had a red carpet fashion show they got to strut their stuff.

Grandpa won in the beauty competition.

All the kids are totally obsessed with Gangnam style dance right now so when it came on the radio, they all started dancing.

Everyone loved the bounce house. Especially Theo.

These girls put on a special performance of Boyfriend by Justin Bieber, Lizzy's favorite singer.

2012 Christmas Decorations

2012 Christmas Decorations

Last year, our lights were a burnt out mess, so I tossed a bunch. So this year, we replaced many of them with LED lights. We are hoping to see a reduction in our power bill. We also added a sweet blow up bear. 

I couldn't find Theo and my stockings this year, so we aren't expecting a lot from Santa. But the kids and even Jackie are hoping for some goodies!

I found some battery operated LED lights for our chandelier. They make it look so much prettier than just with the greenery. If the batteries last a decent amount of time, I am excited to get some more to light up more areas without plugins!

One of my favorite Christmas decorations is this beautiful white Nativity I found at Good Will for $2! I also love this angel nativity. 

This year, even the car got in on the action. Why else would they put a plug-in in the car? 

Jackie is feeling Christmasy with her big red bow.
