catching up

i feel like i haven't blogged in forever.
we've been having too much fun and have been far too busy to be blogging!
sadly, i haven't been documenting our fun in pictures.
sometimes i just don't want to bring out the camera--i just want to enjoy the moment.

the first week of mck's winter break we went to waco to visit everyone.
i didn't get one picture of the time we spent with chris' mom and dad :(
mckinlee got to spend one night with brooke and i didn't get a picture of them either :(

i did take a few pictures at danielle's on "craft day". we didn't want to spend a lot of money shopping or even be at the crowded stores, so one morning we went to hobby lobby and got all the supplies we needed to make the cutest necklaces.
(for more fun things we did check out danielle's blog--she was better at taking pictures!)

here mom and mck are working away:

sadie found some eyelet lace under the table and had a fun time with that!

sadie watching mck craft and stuffing green beans into her mouth as fast as she can!

the necklace almost finished

danielle wearing her necklace and sadie wearing the little eyelet hair clip d made for her

mck and i watched sadie one morning while mom and danielle showed a house.
here she is at lunchtime.
this girl can eat! see the avocado--she actually fusses if she runs out of avocado!

here's part of her lunch--half of an avocado and half a turkey/cheese sandwich

this face...i never get tired of looking at her!

when we got home, the weather had changed and it was cold!
this is cosmo's favorite spot in the house--on a quilt right next to the fire.

we had julie and amber over and we scrapbooked, made cards and ate all day!
mck & amber got the scrapbook room:

julie & i sat at the breakfast table (nearer to the fireplace and the food!)
i worked on my project life and i finally have 2009 done! (i'm always a year behind because i compile the previous year with a new kit and then take daily pictures for the current year.)

if you want to start project life--the new kits are now available on amazon and they are so pretty! go here to becky higgins blog to get more info.

we have lots of fun things planned for this week--and i must take pictures!
