An Early Christmas & The Polar Express

I've been on the look out for a pink tree for Ry's room and I finally found one that I LOVE at Michael's, on sale for $14.99

Sunday we took the girls to the Polar Express in Grapevine and they got to wear their Christmas jammies.
Here the girls are making Christmas tree ornaments.

There was a really corny 30 min. show put on before the train ride that consisted of four 13 year olds dressed up like elves singing Christmas songs to karaoke. We were all about to die, but Ry enjoyed it, that's what matters right?!

Waiting for the train!

Luckily we sat in bench seats across from Chris, Chrissy and the girls. The best part of the ride was Berkley saying, " I want to get off this bus." Hilarious, she didn't even believe we were on a train, so cute!

All 3 of us on the train.

The next morning I was cleaning and my phone rang. I went to get it and when I came back, Ry had swiped my dusting cloth and wouldn't give it back. Here she was cleaning the floor.

The refrigerator...

The window seal....

The table...

Ry LOVES these window stickers! I highly suggest getting some if you haven't, they kept her occupied for a good 30 min. while I did some baking!

Red velvet cake batter.....yummy!

Monday night Grandma Truncale, Aunt Dee Dee & Aunt Jo Jo came over to bring Ry presents since we won't see them on Christmas.

Ry got an adorable doll from Aunt Jo Jo that has her name embroidered on her dress.

A cute sweat outfit from Grandma

A cool musical Elmo book from Aunt Dee Dee

Ry helping Grandma open her shutterfly calendar we made her.

All my hard baking, Oreo cake balls and red velvet cake balls dipped in choc. & white choc. DELICIOUS!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Just a BIG Scare!

We took Rylee to a specialist Monday morning, and after doing another round of x-rays, found out that her wrist was not fractured! Apparently the first x-ray she got done at the E.R. clinic weren't that great, the doctor said that there was only one view on the c.d. and he said maybe they saw something that wasn't there....REALLY! I really wish the nurses at the E.R. would have said, "it's really hard to tell, but we'll put her in a splint until she can see a specialist," NOT just, "it's fractured."

So after being totally freaked out and worrying all day and night, she was fine! I kept thinking to myself, either she is a lot tougher than I thought or it's not as bad as we think. After getting home and her nap, she acted like nothing was wrong, besides wanting the splint off. As much as I tried to limit the use of her left arm/hand, it was near impossible. She would climb on the couch, pick stuff up, put pressure on it (like shutting a door or crawling on the floor), she slept through the night too!

Thank goodness everything was fine, because she would have had to get a cast all the way up to her shoulder to keep her from being able to pull it off...thank goodness!!!

These are pictures from Sunday night. Daddy even bought her new jammies and cut one of the arms off...poor baby!

Happy as can be!

Rylee has now mastered the spoon!

Rylee's new hair do!

Looking ADORABLE!


Rylee enjoyed painting a picture for Poppie today. He had a minor surgery yesterday and is doing great!

(she got a little carried away)

Our First Trip to the E.R. =(

Our poor baby fractured her wrist today! Our little climber climbed up onto one of the kitchen chairs, stood up and tipped the whole chair over backwards. We new something was wrong from how she was crying and her wrist just didn't look right, so off to the E.R. we headed. She did so good while getting her x-ray and even did well while they wrapped her arm. She did cry some and kept saying," off." Broke my heart, we were both crying! First thing tomorrow I have to call a specialist to find out if and when she will need a cast =( Stinks so bad this had to happen right before Christmas!

Rylee and I both fell asleep together on the couch and once I woke up I was able to sneak this picture. Please keep our sweet girl in your prayers for a fast recovery!!!

The Elf, Besties & My Little Artist

We decided to start the Elf on The Shelf this year with Rylee. This was the Elf's first special spot! The next morning, Rylee was on the hunt to find him, she found him right away(little stinker)

Rylee ready to go see Santa!

Rylee did so good, despite the look on her face =)

My sweet friend Michelle and Ry's B.F.F. Addie met us for lunch afterwards. Michelle made this adorable dress for Ry and I asked her to put Addie in hers, so I could get picks of them together in them. Aren't they the cutest little girls ever?!

So sweet, holding hands and dancing to Christmas music.

Nice pose Rylee boo, LOVE it!

I LOVE this girl, sweetest face ever!

This morning I painted Ry's toes and fingers! I've painted her toes before, but not her fingers, she did so good! I tried to get a picture of her sitting all still, but when I tried she wanted to wiggle around.

I know I'm a nerd for taking these pics, but I had too ;)

Rylee painted some reindeer this morning and I am so excited how it turned out!

Later, I was cleaning up the kitchen from painting and lunch and couldn't find Rylee.

This is where I found her.......
