King of Christmas + A Giveaway

Christmas 2010

 I was looking back at photos and this was the first Christmas Gus and I spent together. He came and spent it with my family in Atlanta and it snowed!!! It was the first year it had snowed on Christmas in Atlanta since the 1800's!!! talk about crazy! It was such a good one though! 

It seems like Christmas comes earlier every year. I really feel bad for Thanksgiving! But who doesn't love Christmas!! It really is the best time of the year! So much goes on but I think one of my favorite parts is decorating and making our home "feel" like Christmas! 

 King of Christmas  is a Christmas online store that I have recently discovered with some fabulous Christmas decor, prelit and unlit artificial Christmas trees at amazing prices. I love the variety of products they have in stock! 

If you haven't checked them out I would certainly do so!! 

They are having a great giveaway which you can find here . The first place prize is a 7 foot artificial Christmas Tree ( a $249 value)  and the second place prize is $100 gift certificate to their store. Those are two pretty fantastic prizes if you ask me!! 

Check back later this week as I am going to start my Holiday Gift Guides, complete with links, for those of you that are early shoppers!!! 

Happy Monday!!

Halloween Re-cap + Daylight Savings Hangover

Our Halloween was so much fun this year and very exhausting for this little lady, as hauling around two toddlers in costume is not the easiest thing in the world. I also, tend to want to everything for the holidays and overwhelm myself. I love to be festive and make goodies for family, friends and even my husbands office co-workers. 

So Friday started out great! We headed to drop Gus off at pre-school and Olivia and I stayed for all of the Halloween festivities. They always put on a Costume parade with the little ones all dressed up in their costumes and then they have their class parties. 

They had such a blast and I am so blessed I was able to enjoy Gus and his classmates. I do feel fortunate I have the opportunity to be present for all of Gus and Olivia's milestones. 

After the class party we came home the kidds napped and then we headed out to meet some mommy friends and their little ones for a Halloween event, one of our local malls was hosting. Gus made crafts, they trick or treated a bit and got goody bags. 

We came home and met Gus and jumped in the car for another Halloween party some other friends of ours invited us to and trick or treating. 

Let's just say Saturday we did a whole lot of nothing. We were completely worn out from all the sugar rushes, trick or treating and the late night. 

Can we please talk about how it's Wednesday and we are still hungover from Daylight Savings on Sunday?! ummm my little ones have been getting up at the crack of dawn since Sunday AM and we are all discombobulated. There's been a lot of early mornings, no napping, temper tantrums...i think you get the point. Hoping we all get adjusted very soon. I don't remember the time change being this difficult last year. Has the time change been difficult on your little ones?

{Halloween Pajama Party}

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a great weekend! We did! It was busy but it was a good one! The kids FINALLY decided what they were going to be Halloween so we picked up their costumes! We took Olivia to the Disney store and walked straight to Sofia. no questions asked. no second thoughts. thats what she wanted. (oh and btw-- all the costumes are 40% off at the Disney store just in case, you want to stock up on princess costumes for Christmas gifts. I totally would if I were you ;)). 

Gus, on the other hand, didnt react to anything at the Disney Store so we made our way over to Toys R us and he jumped at Thomas! Totally a surprise! We had been looking at costumes online for quite some time now and he had been sticking to Lightning McQueen. But hey, toddlers are unpredictable! You never know what and how they will react to. 

Today kicks off the week of Halloween and I am joining some other fabulous mommy bloggers for a virtual pajama party for our little ones!! eeekkk, yay!! We had so much fun snapping these yesterday!! We looove parties! woohoo!! And there's no better way to have a party when other blogger are all over the country!! 

Well here we go...are you ready?!?! 

As you can tell Gus was such in a great mood for picture taking! This is on the rare side...he normally isnt a fan of having his pictures taken ;) 

Thank you to all of these lovely ladies for hosting this pajama party! This was so much fun! Can't wait for the next one!!
