hustle bustle 2014 edition

this year, kindin was let in on the big secret!  after crying incessently about wanting an elf on the shelf for the 3rd year in a row, we decided it was time to clue her in.  the devilish grin that immediately spread across her face was priceless but it was only 3 short days before she realized santa followed suit.

a day of tears following the ornament exchange with some of my most beloved and missed phoenix friends


a religious version of shake it off for the yw christmas party



stinky cast removal (it wasn't stinky- kindin just wanted to be prepared.)



it's practically a gingerbread factory around here: a party for k and 11 friends and a gingerbread event for the 1st graders

the longest date night we've had since newlywed dates with these most fun friends!

I really missed YOU at ornament exchange! It's been way too long. I really hope we can see each other soon! Your Christmas tree looked so beautiful! I wish I had space for that big of one. By the way, your ornament was super cute as always. I miss you and all your creative crafting!
