snuggle bug christmas party!

SB has a fun Christmas Party every year...potluck style!  Those are my fav!  I signed up to bring a type of dip!  There was NONE left to take home so I assume it was a hit...it always is!

{1 box of cream cheese, 1/2 a block of velveeta, one day of rotel, 1 lb. of cooked sausage meat;  combine in crock pot to cook and serve}

I made reindeer food for all the kiddos! They seemed to love it, and R loved handing it out to them!

Singing their songs....he was into it! I just love all his little friends, they are all so sweet and so are their parents!  We are truly BLESSED to be apart of Snuggle Bug!

 Their present that they made for us...he was excited can you tell!!  I loved getting a little ornament of his handprint--something I have always wanted to do, just never got around to it!

 SELFIE!!!

 Ryder & Eli--they exchanged gifts with each other last year and this year!

Santa even made a visit to see everybody!  R said, "Hey Santa!!  Do you remember me from last year?!"  Ha!

Then we got another gift from R's teachers...how precious is this?  There were many many tears involved in that room when we all opened our gift!  This is something I will cherish FOREVER!

Back to Squeak...he was feeling a lil crazy one night!  :P

I made reindeer pancakes (or waffles) for Mom, R & G on Christmas Eve morning (Poppy was at work)--this is something new for us, but I hope to continue in the years to come!

This was our Christmas card this year!  

camryn's horse party!

A sweet little girl at R's school had her birthday party at a new horse arena here in town.  We hadn't been to see it yet (it also had a restaurant)...so when R got his invitation he couldn't wait to go!  

We had to dress appropriately for the occasion of course! ;)

Ryder with Grace & the birthday girl Camryn!

Ryder literally KILLED that piñata.  Poor fella...he waked his legs across the room!  Ha!

The cutest little cake!--I think it was done done by Patti Cakes here in town.

Ryder & Dexter...

Horse riding time!!  R was pumped!

Sweet little Abigail!  She used to be the littlest Snuggle Bug--but she has grown up so much over the past year!  I love seeing her every day when I pick R up!

We are so thankful for the friendships Ryder has gained from going to Snuggle Bug and all the sweet parents that we get to share fun things with!  So thankful for that place!

a shower for campbell!

A couple of weekends ago, some pledge sisters of mine threw a wonderful shower for our sweet pledge sister's baby girl, Campbell, who will be here towards the end of the year!  It was a fabulous shower and so good to see every one!  Hope you enjoy!  

While shopping for a baby gift at Target...I ran across the "formula Kuerig" OH MY has baby stuff come a long way in four years!!  I am all for breastfeeding, but I know it doesn't always work out for everybody like they have planned...and this thing would be amazing! 

R's Birthday Party @ Mama D's

When I first started planning Ryder's birthday party early this year I asked him where he wanted to have his party & he said without hesitation "Mama D's house..."  Okay--well...!  So I called Mama D to tell her because I knew it would mean so much to her!  Not that we were going to have his party there, but I wanted her to know that he said that!  Well after his Sonshine party with friends & his family party & Mimi's AND his party at Snuggle Bug with all his classmates, Mama D wanted to have a party for him at her house, just like he requested!  :P  It was just me & my parents & R...& of course MacKenzie & Morgan!  We had a big time!  Mama D made some DELICIOUS Louisiana gumbo and oh my worrrd...SO good!

Little man got his favorite meal...mac and cheese and hot dog & a juice box!  ;)

He is crazy about his MacKenzie!

Toy Story plate set! SO cute! 

R got a little taste of his first ice cream cake!  He was so excited!

Thank you Mama D for loving my lil man like he's your own grandson!  We are so thankful for you & all you do for us!  =)
