A "Magical" Idea

One of Lorelai's classmates gave her this Magic Reindeer Food and I thought the idea was too cute not to share.  The tag reads as follows:

 

"Be sure to take this magic reindeer food and sprinkle it on the lawn.

 On Christmas Santa's reindeer travel miles before the dawn.

 The smell of oats and glitter path will guide them on their way,

 And you'll wake up to Santa's gifts next morn on Christmas Day!"

 

The magical food bag contains dry oats and glitter.  How adorable!! 

Isabella's B-day Bash

The night before our big weekend in Atlanta, Lorelai helped one of her oldest friends, Isabella, celebrate her 6th birthday at Par-Tee Time in Easley.

 

 

Her pretty princess cake.

An Amazing Afternoon

Last Saturday we had a girls' day in Atlanta.  Lorelai, my mom, and I enjoyed a very special lunch at the American Girl store with some friends.  Lorelai brought her doll, Alestia, along for the ride and a fabulous time was had by all. 

 

 



Ashlyn and Molly.

Everyone got an appetizer to start off their meal.  Even the dolls had their own special seats and teacups.

The meal was concluded with mini-ice cream cones.

Headed to have their pictures made with "Rocky" from "Shake It Up." 

A Night at "The Nutcracker"

After Lorelai's exciting day on Saturday it was time to head to a special performance of "The Nutcracker" in which her friend Ashlyn had three different parts.  I was worried that she might get a little antsy as the ballet lasted late into the evening, but the first words out of her mouth when it was over were, "That was awesome!" 

 

She was very excited to get autographs and pose with some stars of the show after the performance.  Here she is with Clara.

She was totally smitten with the Mouse King.

Lorelai with Spanish and the Dew Drop Fairy, respectively.

Lorelai's hair went a little awry while having her picture made with the Arabian princess.

 Could not be more in love with this picture of Ashlyn and Lorelai.  They are the best of friends.

An Unexpected Surprise

On Saturday Lorelai, my mom, and I went to Atlanta for a special girls' weekend.  We had a special lunch (details to follow in a later post) and that evening we went to see her friend, Ashlyn, dance in "The Nutcracker."  While we were at the mall we saw that "Rocky" from Disney Channel's "Shake It Up" was going to be signing autographs.  Lorelai couldn't get in line fast enough to get her picture made with a real celebrity.  It was a weekend she won't soon forget!!

What's Cookin'?

These kiddos just LOVE getting dressed up to pretend to be chefs.

Miller's Big Move

This past weekend Dan built the rails for Miller's "big boy" bed so that he could transiton out of his toddler bed.  Here is the finished product, complete with the Spider-Man decor that Miller picked out himself.

Checking the sturdiness of Daddy's handiwork.

Sweet dreams, Miller Man.
