I never win anything...but I DID!
I never, ever win anything. Okay, I won the 50-yard dash once on field day while I was in elementary school, was voted "Most Dependable" of my 8th grade class and was voted "Most Likely to Succeed" as a senior. But since then, really nothing. No lottery, no prizes...well I definitely won when I received my children so I guess I can never say never.
My point is...I entered a drawing on Denise's blog, There's Always Room for One More, and I actually won!
Denise has frequent giveaways on her blog and I always enter. This week she was giving away a hand-made scarf. If you won, you actually got to choose between a soft pink scarf or a hot pink scarf. I picked the softer one:
Denise's blog is hilarious and I read it often. THANK YOU Denise! I can't wait to receive the scarf!
I also want to thank April, the talent behind the scarf. Thanks April!! You can visit her blog here and her Etsy store here. Go check her out!

Benjamin Vedder comes home!
After we had been home with Macey for just a few short months, I fell in love with a little boy nicknamed Houston by the agency who was trying to place him. His special need is the same as Macey's and they have the exact same birthday. I asked Kevin if we could adopt him, but he was not willing to consider it. I was so sad.
A short time later, a sweet family in Port St. Lucie Florida was matched with him. I'm so happy for him!! The Vedders are leaving in the next couple of days to bring him home and I'm so happy for them all. They are naming him Benjamin. Here is the little cutie pie!
Follow the Vedder's trip here! I'm so happy he'll be home with his forever family before his 3rd bday.

I know, I know...I'm way behind. I haven't posted one Christmas pic. I'll do it very soon. In the meantime, I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

Girlies Visit Santa Claus
The girlies got to finally have their visit with Santa Claus last night. As expected, Macey has requested a helicopter toy and Lena asked for more Pixos. Luckily, we have these both covered!

Busy week of Christmas Festivities!
My, what a busy week we had!! Early in the week was spent getting ready for later in the week. There was baking to be done, gifts to wrap & bring to school, programs to be performed and lots of fun to be had.
The big deals were Thursday and Friday. Thursday afternoon at 4 was a primary school program. Macey was a reindeer and Lena was an angel. It was adorable!
When we got home from that, our neighborhood had a hayride. Lots of our neighbors have very nice Christmas light displays outside so this was an opportunity to ride around and see everything. It was a nice evening and we really enjoyed it. Not many pics from that since my camera doesn't take great night photos. I did get one decent one of Macey & Daddy as we waited to get going.
Friday was the last day of school before Christmas break (yippee!!) and both girls were having class parties. First we had Lena's party:
Then we had Macey's party:
Finally we came home and I was EXHAUSTED!
