Double the fun

Another busy (but yummy) week. With different Christmas get-togethers going on, I baked 15 dozen cookies, 2 dozen cupcakes, and made two trifles. And I have two more Cookie parties this coming week!
I sewed this little skirt for Ava. More info here.
I took pictures of these cute people:
Our wonderful friends Lyndsey and Brandon spread Christmas cheer our way on Saturday and watched the kids all night while we saw Australia. I really enjoyed it. Casey thought it was "good". It's very long (3 hours). But Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman work well together, there's drama, comedy, and action (something for everybody), it was cool to see Baz Luhrman do something a little different than Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliette, and bascially, all the shots are beautiful and amazing like this:
On Sunday we had a double birthday party for Owen and his sweet cousin Ava, who share the same birthday. Since Owen turned Uno, we went with the classic card game theme for the party. I made him this fun shirt and pants. More info here.
Camille decorated the table with colorful balloons, bright fabric and UNO cards:
For dessert, UNO cupcakes:
and a Wow Wow Wubbzy cake. Laura did a great job decorating and Ava loved it:
The kids were real funny with the presents and mostly enjoyed the bags and tissue paper that the gifts came in. And of course Lucy thought everything was for her. She's really going to enjoy Christmas this year.
Ava got a coloring book from Aunt Karen and the two girls sat on the table to try it out:We sang Happy Birthday to the two kiddos and gave Owen a whirl with a cupcake. He was NOT interested:
The whole group:The girls discovered Gram's Christmas village and had fun for a 1/2 hour. Thankfully nothing was broken:And of course we finished the night with a round of Speed Uno. Yes, Meredith has pink hair. And yes, Bryan and Dad are making the same face.Fun night and busy week! The Christmas fun has only just begun...
