Kids were here

Kids were here

So I was reading a friend's blog and I absolutely loved THIS idea and so now every Friday I am going to post one...or maybe more than one picture of images from around our house/"world." Finding little gems like this around the house as I clean (or don't clean...ha!) make me laugh, cry, or sometimes just smile and ponder on how GREAT these little ones are and how the special chaos that is having small children won't be here for very long. So enjoy and come back to visit every Friday if you want to see that "kids were here."

A song for the Holmes Family Memory Book:)

"There's a Wocket in my Pocket"

By Daddy/Dada

There's a Wocket in my pocket

And he likes to do a dance

When I close the door and lock it

He likes to wear my pants

There's a Wocket in my pocket

And he likes to yell and sing

There's a Wocket in my pocket

And he likes it when I dream

BEST. DAD. EVER!!!

T-Shirt Quilt is...DONE!!!

I added a little snuggle pillow at the end when I found one last t-shirt:)

I'm SEW excited!!! (I had to...ha!)

I'm making my first quilt out of my college dance team shirts and it really is bringing tears to my eyes. SO many wonderful memories! Oh how I love what it means to be on a team! There is a special memory behind each shirt and I'm so excited about having this in my home and as a part of my history. I can't wait to snuggle up on the couch with this quilt:).

Family Pictures 2011

My wonderful sister, April, took these awesome photos:). I'm in LOVE to say the least and can't stop looking at them.

It's Christmas time!!!

I LOVE this time of year:) I am especially excited about this year because the girls (well 2 out of 3) really know what's going on. We've done all sorts of fun things like decorating the tree, welcoming Frisbee baby (our elf on the shelf) back to our home, watching the Christmas tree lighting in downtown Greensboro, making reindeer "noses" and other treats for friends and family, and driving around town looking at Christmas lights!

Although all these things truly excite me about Christmas time, me and my family also remember the true meaning behind Christmas. This is the time of year we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He loved us enough to die for us and we remember him always. Merry Christmas!
