Merry Christmas from Giggles & Grins!

Merry Christmas!

Sorry this post is so late!

I have literally been working on this

for 3 days! Blogger wouldn't let me upload

multiple pictures at once!

So, it has taken FOREVER to upload each picture!

Anyhow, here is our Christmas Party day!

Before Santa came, I read a book

about the original Christmas story.

It is VERY important to me that these kids

know the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas.

I was very proud that after the story.

I asked the kids some questions we had

been working on all week and they

TOTALLY delivered!

Great job, guys!

I think we impressed the folks!

The above pictures are of when Santa first came.

We had been rehearsing a special song for him.

So, we sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

just for Santa!

He loved it!

Then it was time for our special time with Santa:

 After Santa left,

it was time for PRESENTS!

There is only one word to describe it:

CRAZINESS!

If I didn't get a picture of your child opening presents,

I am so sorry!

I was just trying to survive!

lol! 

 The kids were so pleased with all their gifts.

Thank you so much for participating!

And a BIG thank you to the parents that were

at the party! You all just jumped right in

and helped! Thanks so much!

Thursday afternoon,

we had a birthday party for Jesus!

 And we had to celebrate Roper's birthday too!

He was born on Christmas Day, 4 years ago!

We made sure everyone had their Santa pictures before

Christmas, so I uploaded all the pictures to Wal-Mart Photo

and Misti ran over and got them!

Kathy cut out picture frames until her fingers were bleeding

(not really, but it was a job!).

And I, thanks to my wonderful Cricut,

cut out snowflakes for the bottom.

We put these together during nap time,

complete with a magnet on the back for your fridge!

For those who had left after the party that morning,

we mailed them that afternoon, so you

could have it in time for Christmas!

We had a wonderful day!

I feel so blessed and loved with all your cards and gifts.

Above any gift, I truly feel blessed that you

trust ME and my staff with your most precious gifts.

You are a true blessing. 

With Love,

Ms Melea

Happy Birthday, Roper!

Happy Birthday to one sweet little boy!

I told him today that I used to change his dirty diapers!

He thought that was hilarious.

I also told him that he was obsessed with vacuums!

If you wanted to settle him down,

you got out the vacuum.

No need in turning it on.

He just wanted to play with hose.

He thought that was pretty funny, too!

Oh, Roper Cade, how you have grown!

You are as sweet as you are cute.

We love you so much.

You are so stinking smart.

I am so proud of you!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday!

By the way,

check out his cupcake cake!

Isn't it adorable?

It is so you, Roper!

With Love,

Ms Melea

Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree!

We have had a whirl wind of a day!

We are so excited for Christmas to be here!

We had a super special surprise!

Kasen's mommy out did herself again!

Check out this beautiful cupcake cake:

Jealous, aren't you?

You should be!

Let me tell you,

they are DELISH!

Look at this sweet grin!

He was so proud of his cupcakes!

Thank you so much for always being so thoughtful!

I am so blessed to have great parents!

What was so neat is I had already had

an ornament craft planned that was a

Christmas Tree!

Crazy, huh?

Turned out perfect!

We had so much fun making them! 

Thanks to my Cricut cutting machine,

I had the trees and stars already cut out.

So the craft was super easy!

The babies worked really hard too!

Beware of soggy ornaments on their trees, though!

They kept wanting to put the pom poms in their mouth!

lol.

Sweet boys.

I think these will look great on your trees!

Tomorrow is the big day!

SANTA will be here!

Woot!

I can't wait.

I love the kids' faces when he enters the room.

Im sure I will have pictures GALORE!

Have a blessed evening!

With Love, Ms Melea
