Wow, what a big present!

I'm not sure we can hold off 3 more days! Can we open just ONE present? Well, this one is driving her crazy....she can't wait! Hmmmmm, I wonder if it's that smart car I've been wanting?

Yes, it's taking up a WHOLE lotta space in the living room!

Not much room for my poor little tree!

Look who's been good!

The Parr family has been very good this year! I think someone is watching us through the windown and we NEVER knew it! I don't think Scatter looks too happy though! I bet he don't get any goodies from Santa! LOL! Merry Christmas...

Homemade Caramel.....

Thank you Pintrest for the recipe...It is great on sliced apples, but I'm gonna try it on cheesecake next! YUMMY! I can't wait!

Christmas Ornaments for 2011

I thank Pintrest for so many ideals I get and LOVE that website.
I thought these would be fun and easy to make.

So, I made these initial ornaments for Bobby, Ariel and myself. I thought they needed the cute bow (even though I could have left it off Bobby's, but thought it needed it-LOL)

I also dated the back in stitching with 2011. They are now finished and hung on the tree! SIMPLE!

Ariel and her BFF!

These girls, these girls! They are just too funny but get along and play SO well together.
Ariel went with her last weekend for her Birthday to stay the night at the Gaylord. They enjoyed the Ice room and decorations and getting to eat. (how fun can that be! )
So, Anna gave Ariel the sock monkey scarf and hat for Christmas and Ariel gave Anna the colored socks (Ariel has the matching colored socks-mixed matched is the style now I guess) and a Christmas ornament that says "best friend"!
So SWEET!

School Christmas Party! Friday December 16th, 2011

They had a PIZZA party for 4th grade winning the can food drive. It was quiet and quite boring to say the least!
Sorry, just stating the facts here!

Does it get any better? Only time will tell.

At least we FINALLY found out that Ariel finished 6th in UIL for Poetry Reading (not sure that is exactly what it's called).

I DID it! Finally, a new MAC computer!

So, I've been trying to get this since last Christmas! And, when my computer died Thanksgiving weekend, I knew what to do!
We bought a MAC! I am so excited about it. I've already locked myself out of it, because I changed some settings and didn't reboot it! Ahhhhhh....
Next I've got to change my software so I can use it for my embroidery work! But, I must say, so far I like it! But I really don't know much about using it!

4th Grade field trip...San Antonio

This is just 9 out of 32 kids that went. We had a certain number of kids we were responsible for to each adult chaperone.
This is standing in front of the Alamo.

And this was taken at the San Jose Mission on Saturday. There was ENDLESS, beautiful places to take photos. Beautiful place.

Bed bugs, MAYBE???

Ariel woke up Saturday morning at the hotel with these bites on her. She thought there was a mosqito in the room and I thought they looked like flea bites. Needless to say, they were itching like crazy.
Treated her with itch cream and Benadryl on the way home and by Sunday, still no better.
I treated her with a gel I used for poison ivy, cause I knew it would dry them up (or it did my poison ivy) and help with the itching.
She had these on ONLY her feet and hands. Anyway, my self treatment must have done the trick, b/c by Monday after she came in from school, they are looking better.
Needless to say, it still creeps me out as to WHAT it was!
