Princess Briana cracks me up sometimes!

So the other day we were downstairs watching tv and she asked if she could go upstairs and watch a movie. I told her she could go upstairs but that she didn't need the tv on yet, that I would turn it on later. So she goes upstairs and I stay downstairs. I thought I heard her hollering for me a couple of times, but she never came out of her room to get me so I didn't really think anything of it.

Then, I hear her door open. I mute the tv to see if I can hear what she's doing....you know, kids have a knack for getting into trouble so I was alert and ready for it.

Then I hear this....















"Mom! What is going on with you?" come from the top of the stairs.

Um whut? LOL!

She comes downstairs and I say "What do you mean what's going on with me?"

And she says, all exasperated like, "Can I watch my movie now?"

I still don't know why I thought this was so funny. And I'm sure you don't find it funny, but I laughed for a good 5 minutes after that.

Oh to be a 4 year old again!

It's been awhile since I've updated, sorry about that. Sometimes life just gets in the way.

I really hope that everyone had a great holiday season and that 2010 has started off great for everyone.

I have just a brief recap of our Christmas for you so enjoy!

Santa was pretty good to Princess Briana this year!

The look on her face when she saw her kitchen was priceless!

She was super excited about the Spongebob, Patrick, and Bullseye that Santa put in her stocking!

She was a mad woman when she was unwrapping her presents! She didn't waste any time!
My little chef! The chef's hat that came with the apron didn't fit...it was too small! :( Oh well, she is still cute in just the apron! And she loves her kitchen!

My sister came to town so we went to my parents' house for most of the day!

She got a sleeping bag from mommy and Andy and a tent from Andy's parents so we let her sleep in her new sleeping bag in the tent for the night! She loved it and was super sad when we took the tent down the next day!

This is how she finished what couldn't have been a better Christmas!

Thank you Santa!

So Princess Briana and I went to Target on Sunday to get replacement light bulbs for our outside lights and to get a rolling pin for when we start our Christmas baking. We were walking by the cards on our way to get the rolling pin and this is how our conversation went...

Briana: "Mommy, we need to get a thank you card."

Me: "Oh we do huh? For who?"

Briana: "For Santa!"

Awwwww.....isn't that just the sweetest thing? She wants to get a thank you card to give to Santa after he brings her presents.

I seriously love this kid!

Prayers and Thanksgiving

One of my friends, Aimee, and her husband, Mike, will be spending Thanksgiving in the hospital. Mike is ill and won't be released for a few more days. Mike's parents are also in town for the holiday. We do not want them to have to cook or to endure hospital food for Thanksgiving. We have set up a paypal account for donations to order them a Thanksgiving meal from Mimi's (http://www.mimiscafe.com/PDF/HolidayFeast.pdf). If you would like to donate money, please click the button below.

I would also like to request that you all say a prayer for Aimee and Mike for a speedy recovery!

Thank you all so much and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas is a comin'!

I know it's been awhile since I've posted an update....I apologize! We have been very busy with life in general. Briana started ballet and is the cutest ballerina I've ever seen, but then, I'm a little biased!

It's that time of year again. You know, that time of year when every commercial that come on the tv results in a chorus of "Mom, I want that for Christmas!", or "Mom, you should get that for me for Christmas!", or "Mom, I love that movie! You should get it for me for Christmas!". Little does she know that I only have two more things to get her for Christmas, along with her stocking stuffers... and all of what I got her isn't anything that she has said she wants. But I'm 100% sure she is going to love what I got her!

Yesterday, we went to Portrait Innovations to get our Christmas pictures taken. For those of you that don't know about our history of taking pictures at Sears, let me just take you on a short little picture montage trip of how our picture sessions at Sears unually end up.

We always take the group pictures first. And as you can see, my little angel is happy and smiling just perfectly!

Then we do the pictures of her and me together. She also does quite well with these too.

Then come the pictures of Briana by herself. The first one always has to be a picture where we catch her off guard. Not to shabby right?

Then we get the "I'm not quite sure if I should cry or not" picture.

Then she finally decides that yes, she should, in fact, be crying. So she does. And so ends our picture sessions.

Now for our picture session at Portrait Innovations. Like always, we started with the group pictures. She did great with these ones like always!

Then we took the pictures of her and I. Once again, she did great with these!

Now, I will let the following photo montage do the rest of the talking. You can be the judge of how the rest of the shoot went!

I don't know about you, but I think we will be taking all future pictures at Portrait Innovations!

I Love You!

So Briana has been in bed for 25 minutes now. About 10 minutes ago she hollered at me so I went up to her room to see what she wanted. This is how the conversation went.

Me: "What baby?"

Briana: "I love you."

Me: "Is that all you wanted?"

Briana: "Yes."

Me: "I love you too. Good night boo."

Briana: "Good night mommy."

My heart melted right then and there!

Hide and Seek

Briana: "Let's play hide and seek. I'll go hide under Pepa's covers!"

Me: Laughing too hard to comment.

I love this kid!
