Insta Joys

has this been the longest week or what??

it sure felt like friday was never going to get here.

when i went the computer this morning, i had the dreaded rainbow spiral on the screen. ugh!

after a little work my computer decided to cooperate.

so thankful to not have to fit in a trip to the genius bar before christmas.

here's a little glimpse at our week:

playing a new game in front of the tree

yahtzee flash

kid version of dice with buddies

fancy hair for the flower girl

waiting for pictures

during the wedding ceremony, mauryn kept asking "when are they going to kiss? i don't want to see it"

so when they were about to kiss she covered her eyes

so funny

her bestie came to the wedding

my pantry need an overhaul a little TLC

it was on my christmas break to do list but it just couldn't wait

so much better to open the door to clean/somewhat organized shelves

mauryn had a birthday party on saturday

they were going to be in a parade after the party was over

the theme was rocking around the christmas tree

mauryn went in the dress up box and pulled out one of morgan's old dance costumes that had a poodle skirt

after the birthday party, the parade, and getting landon to a party we stopped for a quick dinner out

the restaurant had self serve ice cream

this made someone VERY happy

the candy cane candy melts have been one of my favorite things to use this christmas season

they are also now nearly impossible to find

i have gone to michaels repeatedly and they were always out

i hit up the internet and found some online

for $14 a bag

seriously? 

who would pay that?

these candy melts are amazing but not THAT amazing

i stopped in to joann's and they had them

i may have squealed in the store

then proceeded to grab an armful of the candy melts

thank you joann's for saving the day!

working our hot chocolate stand with our friends

highlight of the week:

delivering hot chocolate to salvation army bell ringers

they were so surprised and excited!

{we need to do this more often!}

glow in the dark bath

highlight for the littles this week

there are some battles just not worth fighting

like pjs, tshirt, tennis shoes, and bed head while running errands

she was happy and rocking the i just crawled out of bed look

scholastic had a warehouse sale in our area this week

me + books = happy

you can never ever have too many books

this a great time to stock up both for our school needs and for kids fun reading

during my marathon baking day, i tried a new recipe

white chocolate peppermint cookies

so yummy!
