In Stitches

So you'd think by this picture we mean metaphorically as in laughing....not so much. This is actually a picture of Syd in the ER waiting for the Doctor to "fix her owie" and by that I mean REAL stitches . She slipped and fell on a shampoo bottle while getting out of the tub, a shampoo bottle can you believe that! Anyway she is a real trooper after a quick scream and a few minutes of tears she was all smiles again and ready to hit the ER (that actually made 2 trips for me in the last 2 weeks, Tat had to go on the 3rd because she passed out due to dehydration because of Strep throat). 4 stitches later she was wanting McDonalds when we left the hospital at 11:30pm, and did she get it...of course :) (wouldn't you)
And lot's of fun special Band-aids

Mickey Mouse Rockin' Roadshow

Mickey's Rockin' Roadshow made a stop at the new Citizen's Bank Arena which is right down the street from us so we decided Sydney would totally love to go and boy were we right!! It was a fun show with a bunch of Disney friends and how they are trying to find acts for Mickeys talent show, some of the acts were , Buzz and Woody, Tigger, and of course Cinderella.We had great seats too!

Bouncing to Tigger's song.


The Grand Finale
and Syd loved Donald's big KaBoom at the end

In Daddy's Shoes

Sydney loves to be just like her daddy (and boy is she in soo many ways).

Stay at Home Mom (just for this week)

It's been a great week!! I love that I have off this week , I was actually able to play "stay at home mom", and we did all kinds of things like hit up another movie (this time Syd was in big girl panties and stayed dry the whole time) The Chipmunk movie (super cute), did a little shopping, lunched with the girls, and even tried Pump It Up. Syd (and Tat) really had a blast. Grammy even came for a visit and then took Syd for an overnight, (god I love that woman). It has been a wonderful break and will be over all too soon. Tat & Syd going down the BIG slide.

Playing a little basketball with grammy

Christmas Day

Wow another Christmas gone already, this year was a truly fun one Sydney was super excited that Santa came a left a ton of "princess" presents for her, though she was a little bummed she didn't get the chance to see him. She was quickly soothed by her 3 doll houses (actually 2 doll houses and a pet shop) and all the furniture that goes along with it.

Tatiana didn't do to bad either she loved her new camera (now maybe she'll leave mine alone ) and a slew of other teenage stuff.

Daddy loved his new boots, too bad they were 2 right feet..lol ...and he had to return one and get a lefty the next day.

and I was super excited about my new Wii game (anyone wanna have a Band Hero Party!!)

and now that all is said and done and all the princess are in a row, we hope everyone had as wonderful a christmas as we did.

2nd Annual Cookie Party

We had our 2nd annual cookie party. This year we made 8 diffrent types of cookies. It was so much fun we even had my nicece Mikayla over this year and she was a baking queen. It was also nice to have a much bigger kitchen (even if we also took over the entry way for sugar cookie decorating) I can't wait until next year after the kitchen remodel.

mom's not a baker so she took over clean up duty and did a great job making sure we all had clean pans and anything else we needed.

Syd had her own little work station complete with sprinkles.

Decorating, time to get creative.

the final product. Everyone ended up with at least 7 containers of cookies each! That's alot of baking.

Now to find room for all the leftover supplies ???

Christmas at the Erwins
