One of the gang

Lula made some friends last night.

Lula

Lula got a hold of the sequin pillow, which is all the rage lately, and spelled her name out.

Crazy hair

Today Lula was found in the bathroom sporting her crazy hair.

Get it?

Lula brought the girls Ginger Bread Houses today, clever Lula, clever.

My Little Sweatheart

I love this picture of Hailey, my little sweatheart.  

That's better!

Now that's more like it!

Once again, when they couldn't find Lula this morning you could see the defeat starting to take over their moods.  Once Hailey gave in decided it was time to eat, she opened the pantry and immediately started calling for her sister.  "Hannah come look at Lula!  Mom!  Look!"

Ball Pit

They definitely enjoyed this one this morning!

Foiled again

The girls weren't too fooled by this one.  They saw what she did, giggled a little bit and then unwrapped them and headed off to school.  Lula- you are going to have to try harder if you want to impress these girls these days.

JMG Peanut Butter

Another JMG project- this time one of the options was to make homemade peanut butter.

Once you are done with the project a parent just needs to sign in the book that it was completed.  Hannah always insists that we take pictures to send to her teacher.

Nighty Night

Two nights ago we found her in Hailey's bed and last night was Hannah's bed.  Anytime the girls are gone, Lula takes advantage of getting some shut eye in their comfy beds.

Q-Tip me

Tonight is the annual Christmas party at Vicki's.  This year we had to make something using a Q-Tip.

I made this tree in a snow globe.

One of Elizabeth's girls made wine charms - very creative!

 

Bear Skin Hat...?

I have heard of a bear skin rug but a bear skin hat?  That's a new one.

Lists and ummm....ops

The girls started to make their Christmas lists for this year.  Surprise, surprise, they want slime stuff.

Couldn't help but smile when reading Hannah's list and seeing that she wants separate money to donate to charity.  

Hailey's list is also pretty predictable- markers, colored pencils, a pet and glue.  

Yep- that about sums these girls up right now.

Ummm...what on earth Lula?!?!  I am pretty sure she meant to just show us that was hanging over the toilet and not falling in but that pose- lol, a little too much maybe?

All Tangled Up

Ouch!  Someone was playing with the toys last night and she must have gotten stuck.

Storytime

How sweet- this morning we found Lula reading to two very large gummy bears.  They were reading the book Daddy's Girl which was one of our favorites.

Egg-cellent idea

Nice one Lula!

This morning the girls spent a few minutes looking around the house for her and then sat down at the island to start asking me where they should look next.  I opened the fridge to start breakfast and Hailey spotted her right away!

Peek!

Such a cutie this Lula is!

Today we found her in the Christmas tree, pretty camouflaged

 but it sure didn't take the girls too long to spot her!

Jo-Jo Xmas

Hailey has been super into Jo-Jo bows this year.  Jo Jo Siwa is a preteen dancer/pop singer who wears the biggest bows you have ever seen on her head and the girls of America can not get enough!

This year along with her signature bows, she has launched a clothing line.

Amazing to think such a young child can have such a country-wide presence.

She certainly is talented and from what I have seen she seems to be a decent role model for the kids so more power to her.  You just have to hope that fame and fortune don't get to her like it does for so many others.  

Lula Kicks off 2017

Just like clock work Lula showed up at our house this morning, like she does after Thanksgiving every year.  The girls are always excited to wake up and see her here.  For the last few days they started talking about her and always ask the same things "Do you think Lula will come back this year?"  "When does she come again?"  "What do you think she will do this year?"

Happy Thanksgiving

The year always goes by so fast.  Once school starts back up we have birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving and then Christmas.  

Sure is special to have another little guy hanging out with us for the holidays! 

 Could he be any cuter?!

Poor Grandma, these busy holidays get harder and harder for her to stay awake.  You really can't blame her though, there's so much action and noise that it's exhausting trying to follow it all.

When I went to bed tonight I found this sweet note from my Hailey.

I love when she leaves us little messages.
