Bag Balm

Lovely name for a product right? But, yes, it is supposed to be used on farm animals. However... I have found it to be the ONLY thing that cures dry, chapped hands from harsh, cold, Northeast winters, and I found it right at my local grocery store. I am sure it can also be found at a farm supply store too.

Christmas Card Rejects

These three pictures were cute, but not the winner.

So many people asked how I got the 3 girls to stay still, look at the camera, and smile at the same time. Pure Luck!

I got them all excited about putting on the red velvet Christmas coats, told them we were going outside for a photo shoot, and then clicked like a crazy woman for about 15 minutes.

Basement Project Update

Barefoot Dad's office is almost complete.

The concrete floors are polished, stained + finished. Painting is 99% complete + should be done tomorrow.

More pictures + details i.e. paint colors etc. to come. Just one last thought...do you know how hard it is to find a TRUE "barn red"?

Gingerbread House

From the minute Nana gave us the "create your own gingerbread house" kit, BP incessantly asked to do it. So after 1,000 times of asking the girls created this on Sunday afternoon. BP loved the whole artistic process. BB just liked sneaking the candy.

And After...

All done up...Our tree in all its glory!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

We are totally behind this year, but we are slowly checking things off our list. Such a fun, but crazy time of year. All 3 girls are loving both the fun + the craziness.

Chapel of the Holy Cross

Seeing this Frank Lloyd Wright design was another highlight for me of our trip to Sedona.

PHX Zoo

If you are ever in the Phoenix area you cannot miss this zoo.

Sedona

Sedona from a little red Bell helicopter was AMAZING! BP, BB, and I loved every second of it. BP kept saying "This is AWESOME!" and BB was obsessed with the microphone attached to the headset. The views were like nothing I had ever seen in my life and sharing it with my two big girls was so special.

A few pictures from our Thanksgiving holiday trip to Arizona. More to come...promise.
