Happy New Year!

Wow, it has been a long Holiday season. We had a great Christmas, and a very low key New Year. This was the first time in years that we did not have to travel. My family came here to FL. It was great! My sister was even here from Dallas, where she is in the National Guard. Bill and Andrea took the kids to Universal and they loved it, while Mommy stayed home with Allie Grace. There was no way I was going to walk around that park all day prego!!! Here are a few pictures from our Christmas. Oh yes, and thank you Mom for the black eyed peas and collards for New Years Day, they were wonderful! I love old southern traditions!

Sorry about these awful pictures, Santa must have forgotten that I wanted a Nikon D5000. Maybe he will remember on my birthday ;) This is the first year that I did not have my girls decked out in the same Christmas pj's. I guess it's the pregnant with baby #5 thing!!

Ashlyn's Christmas play at church. Her solo was AMAZING, and I am not just saying that because I am her Mommy! I am going to figure out how to put videos on here, and I will post it for you.

Merry Christmas!

Ashlyns tree

I just love that the girls have trees in their rooms! Looking at them just makes me smile!

Miss Ashlyn's tree

Mallory's Barney tree, that she has redecorated 100+times!

Madi's tree that she also decorated herself!

Our family tree

Allie Grace does not have one for obvious reasons. This is also why our tree in the den has lights and ribbons and an angel on top. That's it. She is worse than a cat when it comes to getting in the tree! Happy Holidays everyone!

Doughnuts and a deal!

Some people go to lunch after church, but because Allie Grace and Bill stayed home from church, we went to Krispy Kreme and got a doughnut! Yum!

I found this Potato Saks outfit on EBAY, new for $30! Go and search, there are tons!

Happy Birthday Madi

Wow, what a busy, but Wonderful Holiday! We had family here from Greenville and Atlanta, and I loved it. My brother in law fried the turkey, and although I was born and raised in South Carolina, this was my first fried turkey. Pretty darn good! My sweet Madi turned 5 on the 27th, along with my nephew Braden who turned 13, and my Mom turned @% on the 29th! My mom left on her Birthday to head back to Greenville, so I did not get any pictures, but I hate she spent the day on I-95! Sorry Mom, but I was so glad to have you here!

The Birthday loot! Braden is having a huge party with a DJ when he gets back to Atlanta, so that's why he has no gifts to unwrap, and we gave him $, so that's already in his pocket:)

My mom and I were there, even though there is no proof! :) Happy Birthday Mom, Braden and Madi Kate! I love you all!

Turkey Day

Mallory had her Thanksgiving Feast at preschool today, and they made the cutest headbands I have ever seen! They had turkey legs on each side made from paper bags! This was adorable! Here are some of the sweet pictures!

Allie Grace and Mallory

DaDa with 2 of his 4 girls!
Look at those precious headbands

Mallory giving thanks

Potato Saks

I had many of you ask me about Mallory's birthday outfit, and I have to say, this brand is one of my favorites! I have to admit, they are pricey, but I can get away with it, because I have 4 girls. That means, at least 3 of them will wear the outfit, so divided by 3, it is a great deal :) That is how I explain it to my husband anyway. I got it from Magic Windows in Charlotte, NC, but the brand is Potato Saks. To get a better deal, and better selection, check it out on EBAY. They have tons!! Beware, you will want one for every occasion!

Great job Ashlyn!

Ashlyn had a chorus program tonight, and she did AMAZING! We are so proud of you sweet girl!

Madi and big sis Ashlyn

What a great big sister!

No rules here!

Mallory's preschool teacher gave her a Birthday party at school today since she started 2 weeks after her actual B-day. I thought that was so sweet, and she was beyond excited!

Madi is officially off the waiting list, and now in Pre-K! We are all thrilled about that! :) Here she is on her first day!

The back of these pants are my favorite. Those pockets are just adorable. Sorry about the quality of my photos, I am searching for a new camera :)

I know my girls look like a bunch of spring chickens, but I have realized that when you live in Florida, all of the wardrobe rules go out the window!

Trick Or Treat

Here we have Miss Ashlyn as "The Butterfly Diva"

Complete with the Justice tote as her Trick or Treat bag! What happened to the cute little pumpkin head with her name on it from Lillian Vernon? Oh how they grow up so fast!

A very sticky Allie Grace, aka "The little Fairy"

Mallory as "Dorothy"

The little Fairy
(Allie Grace)

Here we have Madi as "Cinderella"

Bill and I walked into the kitchen, and this is what we found. Mallory was putting all of her candy in a line, so she could "count it"! It went through the entire house.

I hope you all had a great Halloween, and I can't wait to see all of the adorable pictures!
