Princess Tree Lighting Show

We went to the cutest Princess Tree Lighting Ceremony. They had four princesses to take pictures with, some crafts (wand and bell bracelets), snacks and then a concert where the princesses sang Christmas carols. Princess A and Princess G are holding their wands they made right before the singing started.

Here they are with Princess A's favorite princess.


Snow White.

Princess G's second favorite princess.

Daddy took a quick photo of me with the girls as we were leaving. Of course that is when the girls finally wanted to try the cookies, just in time to get green sugar all over the car.

The Princesses visted the Dentist Yesterday

The girls love going to the dentist as they have a big play area with a castle, train table, two arcade video games and of course a carousel.

We went 20 minutes early just to play but they saw us right away, which means we stayed over 30 minutes to play after they were done.
Princess G is all smile now but she did not want the Dentist is polish her teeth at all. As soon as she saw the chair she covered her mouth and said 'I don't want him to use it on my teeth!!" She let him exam and count her teeth very easily. The polishing and fluoride stuff was not very fun. It only last a minute or two but she was really mad!! She then was very concerned about getting her goodie bag. As soon as they gave her the coin (to get a prize from the vending machines) and her new toothbrush she was fine.

Building with Couch Cushions

What is it about couch cushions and kids playing with them? As a kid my siblings and I spent hours and hours building castles, boats, buildings and forts with couch cushions. I introduced the Princesses to the idea over the summer but only recently have they really been playing this way. Everyday we have the same conversation.

"Mommy, can we take the cushions off?"

"Is your room clean and your bed made?"

"But that will take forever!!"

"Well if you want to play with the cushions you better get started!"

Third Cake Decorating Class

Princess A was waiting up again when I got home from my third class. She was so excited and couldn't wait to have a cupcake even though she does not like the icing I use for class.

The Widow Clicquot

I was sent The Widow Clicquot to review I really enjoyed the whole book. I have been reading some fluff lately and this book reminded me why I love books that have some substance to them, especially one with history. The book is about the Widow Clicquot

The story of the visionary young widow who built a champagne empire, showed the world how to live with style, and emerged a legend

The book not only follows the life of an extrodinary woman it also is a book that explores what it was like for the middle class at that time in France. The book starts a few years before the French Revolution and follows the life of Barbe-Nicole as a child, getting married and eventually become a widow. That is when the story really takes off as the Widow Clicquot takes over the Champagne company that was struggling under her husbands command and creates and empire. You will have to read the book to find out what happens next.

Cake Decorating Class

My darling husband has been encouraging me to do something for me. Well I signed up for a cake decorating class. I had my second class and I decorated my first cake.

(The first class we just watched)

Princess A stayed up so she could have a slice of cake when I got home. She also wanted to help decorate so she added some stars and a mini rainbow.
