The Party Princess

Back again! Ariel is sleeping, so I shall take this time to update you all on our weekend of parties. On Saturday night it was our church's annual christmas banquet. Only this year it was held at the christian school because we are lacking a kitchen. Kinda a necessity for an eating event. It was decorated ever so lovely and the food.... oh man... I don't usually do seconds, but I did then. It was amazing!!! Ariel got to wear her new dress from Grammy Liz. Awe! Ken was stuck in traffic so we went with Nana. He arrived not too late, and was able to relax and enjoy the evening.

As usual, Ariel was a little darling. She was getting a little restless so I took her out to a bench in the hall so she could stretch out and kick. We got home around 10ish so it took us about an hour to get her into bed. It was hard on her to break with her regular routine, but once she was sleeping, it was smooth sailing till morning.

The next day was church and a chance to wear the penguin outfit again. Needed something comfy since we were on the go so much that day. After church, and second advent, it was lunch at Nana's with Mom's old school friend Brenda. Then on to our Bible study's christmas party in the afternoon. Ariel had a good time entertaining us, and the cat Minnie. We played some games, ate some goodies and had a really nice time. Since we got home right at dinner time, we decided to have some chinese food for a treat. Yum. Watched 7th Heaven's christmas episode, sooooooooo good, and then hit the hay.

This morning I was back at the dentist for the tiny filling I needed. I must say, after having an epidural, the dentist needle is NOTHING! Still unpleasant though since it took a long time to wear off. Nana came to watch Ariel, who was still in bed when I left. She never woke up while I was gone, she likes to sleep in like her daddy. Before Nana left, she let Ariel have a present early. Inside was a cute red winnie the pooh dress, a red sleeper with a cute kitty and a christmas bib. Awe. More fun christmas clothes, whee!

Speaking of clothes, the dress I got Ariel for Christmas eve, the one in her photo shoot, turns out Lesley's daughter Nicole got the same dress so we are going to get a picture of them together matching. TOO CUTE!

The remainder of the day has been pretty low key. Made a double batch of pumpkin muffins and made some sugar cookie dough for Ken and I to make cookies tonight. Hmmmm cookies..... hehe. We also finished the sock monkey's for Mike and Trudy's boys. I think Ariel likes sock monkeys. Don't you?

This week is slowly filling up, got a birthday party midweek for little Ellie who is turning 5. Thursday is Ariel's big 4 month old b-day and so we are going to the movies! They have a cool thing called Stars and Strollers where you can bring your baby and they keep the movie sound lower, lights not completely out and lots of other moms. TOO COOL. I am so excited. Its finally a chick flick showing. You'd think it be mostly chick flicks, but ever since I got the newsletter about it, every movie has been a shoot-em up. Blah.

Well, Ken is on his way home so I should start dinner. Bye!

Those sock monkeys are really cute, but not nearly as cute as Ariel! I've heard about Stars and Strollers before and thought it was a really good idea. What movie are they showing? Enjoy!
