So these are a few pictures from the following week . . .

Then there was her concert . . . couldn't get any "great" pictures . . . ARGH!!

Last, but not least, the birthday girl . . .

We had a great time . . . she got super presents . . . and the cake was even pretty good, too!!

Christmas presents . . .

So I have been busily making Christmas presents this weekend!! I made 11 of the boxes this weekend. I have to decorate 10 of them still, but it's soo much fun!! The bottom pics are of a project that I'm making for my mom and my mother-in-law! I was totally inspired by the awesome scrapper, Danielle Flanders. She created a similar project and you can see it here:

She makes awesome things and for some reason this project of her's just cried to be lifted in my world! I have one done and I need to finish the other one. I hope that they like them!!

Other than the above, I got my haircut and colored . . . dark!! I love going to the salon! It's always so fun!! Emma is recovered, finally, from the 36 hour flu!! Argh. I hate it when the kiddos are sick!! Hopefully no one else will get sick now! Happy Sunday, Everyone!!
