Christmas Party Fun

Once again a week has almost past with out me updating. I could go on and on about how busy we are but frankly that would bore myself. Instead how about I show you what my sweet little Mad and I have been up to....


It was Freddy the cat 1st Birthday this week...Of course all celebrations are not complete without Sponge Bob Square Pants Birthday Hats.

I have been helping with the Needy Person Fund at the City Police Dept since I was pregnant with Madeline. It is a great organization that helps out local families during the holidays. Donations from the community help fund this organization. I decided last year Madeline was old enough to start going with me as we shopped. I am not sure how much she comprehended last year but this year she was all into it. I sat down and explained that some people had no money and needed help so we needed to go shop for them. I wanted to make sure that she knew that Christmas was more than getting things for herself. Yes, the real reason of Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, but it is also about helping others. How better than to share the love of Jesus than to be giving to others. She was more than happy to help "The little boy", so we headed to Wal-Mart.

We started off with a little energy kick off..





and of course we can't live on MnM Mc Flurry



After filling up on flurries and pretzels, we gathered up our buggy and headed to do some major shopping.






Of course we had to try out ALL the Boy Toys....



She needed to see what a "Boy bike with no girlies on it" rode..:)

I found out that my girlie likes to shop, but most of all that she also likes to help others. That makes her Mama very happy.

This weekend was filled with Christmas parties and programs. As a member of several fire departments Madeline was invited to a couple of kids Christmas parties. Not that she was complaining...

Party #1...Mountain Home Fire Dept....




I just LOVE the expression on her face....




Miss La La Loopsy has a big head so after she knocked herself out from trying to sit on her own, Ruldoph gave her a kiss...


Party #2....Etowah Fire Dept...



Do you see a "Chocolate Theme"?...She was in candy heaven.





Look at this sweet little boy...











Santa Claus was very good to her at both parties.





I have to say that this was my most favorite picture of the day.


Of course Ariel likes to sit on TOP of the police cruiser...Why wouldn't she

I want to say Thank-you to both fire departments for putting on wonderful parties for the kids. They absolutely had the best time.

I have had the opportunity to do several shoots this week, be on the look out for lots of sweet pictures coming up.

Want to see what happens to a 4 year old on a Chocolate,Santa and presents overload???


They dream of Sugar plums dancing in their heads.....
