Long Day

Thursday was a fun packed day. We started with a trip to the doctors office for Leah's wellness check and she is doing very well. 13 pounds 8 ounces and 24 inches. 2 shots and 15 seconds of crying. She took them really well.

We then went up to our friend Kristen's pre-school to celebrate her 5th birthday with a cupcake project. We took cupcakes and iced them with white icing for snow. We topped the snow with 2 marshmallows held up by a pretzel for the body. 2 more pretzels made the arms. Chocolate chips made the eyes, candy corn for the nose. A piece of pull and eat licorice made a scarf while a chocolate covered cherry made the hat. Coconut flakes were there for some texture to the snow. The kids had a blast. Leah and her buddy Ryan hung out and watched all the action.

To end the day we were having the 'Stepford" Christmas bash. All the boys and all the girls of the hood got together to enjoy some time together. We did a little gift swapping and some serious eating ( i love homemade cookies yummy). Andrea was so sweet to get Derrick a coloring book, crayons and book to read. Derrick had to share it with Leah.

I think of Andrea often and receive frequent updates from my mother-in-law. If you're reading this, I'm praying for you Andrea!

Very creative way to decorate cupcakes.

So glad the shots went well!

It looks like a fun day! I'm glad everything went well for Leah at the doctor.

By the way... the kids presents will probably be late. They are going to the post office today. I always feel like we are going to see you before Christmas then get everything in the mail late! Sorry!
