Christmas Parties and More

Both of the girls had Christmas parties at their schools last week. They were full of cookie decorating, book exchanges, and crafts. Maggie's, was especially fun, because right before her party, they did a cute Christmas performance with their whole school.

Our little reindeer spotted us! They had to take her bow out because it covered her reindeer antlers. HA!!!

We always say that she is a tiny thing, but she is actually one of the tallest in her class.

Just like Lily and her daddy, Maggie LOVES to perform.
Party time!

Working hard on that Christmas tree cone.

Nanny and PawPaw, came to join in on the festivities.


Now, time for Lily's party...

Decorating those cookies!!!

Book exchange with daddy by her side!
She was so funny the night before her party. She insisted that she MUST wear her Christmas dress, tights, dressy shoes, and of course a bow! Ha! I love that SHE still loves to be a precious little girl and hasn't wanted to grow up on us...just quite yet. I'll keep her this way for as long as she will let us.

Daddy is in full swing with the Christmas Eve services at church. So, we have been making the most of our days having friends over, to try and help the days go by faster. :) If you wanna come play, give us a call! We would love the company!!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!!
Hope you are having a blessed week!

So...

...it has begun!

This, That & Toothless

A couple of weeks ago, it snowed here in Houston. Well, it "sprinkled", as Maggie would say. It "sprinkled" snow on an off all day, but it never really stuck. So, here are some pictures of our snow day...or, our snow minutes. :)

If you look carefully, you can see it on the roof.

As soon as it hit the ground, it turned to water.
Me and the little man, waiting on Lily to get off the bus.
Fun memories!

A week later, Lily, pulled her very first tooth at school!

Also...Lily, was in her very first choir performance, at our church. She did such a great job. This is TOTALLY her thing. I hope she continues to love performing, just like her daddy.

They were the "sheep" in the Christmas story.

My girl, singing her little heart out!

This is a close-up on the big screen.
After wards, we attempted to get a family pic, next to the pretty Christmas trees in the foyer. This one cracked me up. I have no idea what the girls are doing. HA!

Cash's 1st Birthday Party

We finally celebrated, Cash's, 1st birthday! It was such a great time! I loved planning and decorating for a BOY party. I had never been able to do that, and it was so fun!!

With Cash being a one year old, it was sort of hard to figure out what "theme" to run with. He isn't really into a specific cartoon or character. BUT, he does love balls, remote controls and brooms. HA!! Well, since I really couldn't do 2 out of those 3, I went with the theme of balls! He LOVES all sorts of balls. Any kind will do. He has learned how to throw and kick. It is so cute to watch!

The bouncy is always a huge hit!
Here is the birthday boy just checking it all out.

We had "ball park" food for everyone to eat...hot dogs, nachos, cracker jacks, and cokes.
Cash loves him some hot dogs!
We are blessed to have so many sweet friends and family that love our boy!

Time for cake!!!! Mmmmmm....
Cash did not hold back!!! He got to business and knew exactly what to do. Not that we ever doubted. I mean, have you seen those yummy thighs of his?! HA!!!

Maggie decided to try out the party hat.

and...sometimes, the table center pieces, make the best party hats! I love this!!

Cash, had enough excitement, and took a power nap on Pappy's shoulder.

While Cash slept, his friends helped him open all of his wonderful gifts!

He finally woke up and checked out some of his goods. Oh, my gosh! How cute is this? Thank you, Lindsay!!

McWhorter parties are not complete without a Pinata!

For party favors, everyone got a bouncy ball, of course!

and...one of Nanny's yummy, adorable cookies!!!

Oh, how I love this big one year old! Thank you, Lord, for this precious gift!!

We love you, Cash Connlon! This year has been nothing but complete joy!!
