Wordless Wednesday

Last Thursday, we had a storm with strong straight line winds. We actually were attending a swim meet and came home to find this. Thank goodness the damage is minor!

 

Wordless Wednesday Square Foot Garden

We finished with most of the planting last Friday evening. I ended up purchasing most of the plants as only cucumbers grew from the seeds we planted!

LIly stuffing her bear. One of the rules was that the Birthday Girl always went first. Lily bear also has 7 hearts one from each of her friends.

Washing the bear was fun for everyone.

Zach picked this Camo bear by himself and named it “Monster”

Everyone had fun and by far the easiest party I have ever given!!!!

Visit with Santa

We were excited to visit with Santa at Bronner’s as well. The system that they used was so nice and made the day much easier. First, an adult, regristered each child that wanted to see Santa. Next they were provided with a name tag, each tag had a different symbol. Ours was a gingerbread cookie, others included a santa hat and holly. We continued to shop Bronner’s until the overhead page announcing that Santa was now seeing kids with the gingerbread cookie was heard, approximately 45 minutes after we regristered.  Next we stood in a very short line for approximately 5 minute before seeing Santa. Lily had already been questioning me if this was the “real” Santa and Zach even checked his beard to make sure. Santa spent lots of time talking with the kids and even shared a secret about Rundolph. Here are a couple of pictures.

Bronners 2012

Most people know that Matt introduced me to this awesome store on our first trip to Michigian, 9 years ago. I still love wandering through it today as much as I did that very first time. I am also so very impressed with their customer service! Enjoy a couple of other pictures from Bronner’s today and check back tommorow for our awesome visit with Santa.

Huge Santa outside. This is becoming a traditional shot for us each time we visit
