Yesterday, Olivia and I knocked off
another
Holiday Bucket List item when we hosted a Christmas Cone
Decorating Party! I'd saw this activity of sorts on
Pinterest and
knew the kids would just love it, so we invited over some friends,
accumulated a bunch of delicious candies and created our own waffle
cone Christmas trees that were as good to eat as they were fun to
make. My mother and sister in law both helped everything come
together and lent me their home to destroy, er, create stuff in,
which was a huge weight lifted seeing as my house would fit all of
nobody lol. Ok, I'm still exaggerating on the size of our house, but
I really couldn't have fit everyone as comfortably here as at their
house.
Unfortunately while we were in the
middle of decorating our cones, Jen, my sister in law, had a massive
seizure that had her and everyone else very frightened. I'd never had
to call 911 for an emergency like that before so I was kinda
freaking, but the ambulance showed up almost immediately and took her
to the hospital to get checked out. So far I've been told she's doing
alright, in for a CAT scan now and all those other 'fun' tests that
keep healthy people farrrrr from the doctors office when they can
help it. My heart really goes out to Jen and all the health issues
she's had these past years... I wish I could take it all away from
her so that she could live the life she deserves to too. Please, if
you're the praying type, send them her way for a quick recovery from
this and all the other ailments that plague her young self.
The kids seemed to really enjoy making
their Christmas trees minus that incident though, and they were all
proud to show off their awesome work! It was messy, loud and still a
bit crowded but we all had a great time and I really appreciate all
those who came and helped us pull off an item off our Bucket List :)
I've already updated y'all on my pregnancy recently, so I'll just
shut up and show ya the Project Life 2013 Recap goodness we all love.
I used papers and cards from a few
different kits I found on
pixelscrapper.com. I know I've said it
before, but if you haven't gotten around to checking that site out
yet you MUST for awesome daily freebies that will help you beautify
your PL so easily. I love all the colors so much and can't wait to
actually put all of the 2014 spreads together at the end of next year
into a beautiful book thanks to the generous designers from that site
and more. Thanks so much for reading...I may skip my mindless Monday
tomorrow if I get carried away with house crap, but will definitely
have an AWESOME craft tutorial all ready to go for Wednesday and more
awesome freebies for the following Friday. So, until next time!!
