Christmas Baking Time

I love this time of year, being home baking Christmas cookies and candy and just relaxing with my crew! Our first batch of cookies are snowflakes and they turned out yummy! I made a glaze for them and the kiddos sprinkled them with colored sugars. Tomorrow we will start our gingerbread men cookies.. can't wait!

The finished product

Kindergarten Christmas Party

At Micayla's Christmas party it was the girls against the boys in putting a puzzle together and the girls won !! Yay Girls, they were so excited!

Then they did a book gift exchange and this is the book Micayla got

and finally, enjoying a Christmas cookie from Rick's bakery.. they were adorable

Merry Christmas

Branson/Silver Dollar City fun

We are standing in front of a gingerbread house inside our hotel

Micayla and Aca are sitting in a sleigh outside the hotel.. it was freezing but fun! We couldn't resist :)


Below, Micayla is on stage at the Frosty-the snowman show inside Silver Dollar City. Great show for kids if you're there. He comes to life.. It's a cute story.

Micayla's Cheering Debut

Micayla spent all week in cheer clinic with the Sr. High cheerleaders at Shiloh, and last night she got to cheer at the Sr. High playoff game against Dequeen, who we beat, by the way :).
Below she's holding her "C" sign that she made to go with part of a "SCS'' cheer that they did.

Waiting patiently on the sidelines for the Dequeen band to leave the field.

Micayla and her favorite cheerleader, Brooke.. sorry it blurred sissy :( (mommy needs a new camera for Christmas) ;)

Micayla's Thanksgiving Program

This was by far one of the best Thanksgiving programs I have ever attended! The kiddos sang so many songs and Micayla knew every song and motion, it was very cute. It amazes me how these little ones memorize so much, they are all very sweet. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!

My little Sunflower Daisy (her indian name)

Below is Micayla with her book that we had dedicated to her for the library.

Limo Ride

Today was the limo ride to Mad Pizza for the kiddos that sold a certain amount of cookie dough.
So thanks to all who bought cookie dough from Micayla and made this ride possible!! She had a great time.

Below , Micayla inside the limo. It wasn't her first time to be in one, but it was still just as fun!!

Homecoming 2009

This past Saturday was the Homecoming dance for Shiloh Christian. It was held at the old Malco theatre in the NWA Mall.
Hard to tell in this picture, but Deric is wearing a dark purple tie with black pen stripes.. his
date was wearing a dark purple dress..

Fall Carnival

This year Deric's class (the Juniors) put on the Carnival at school. Deric's booth was the ice booth and Micayla loved it!! She sat in ice at least 3 times .

Below was the Wheel of Fortune game.. what ever number you land on is how many pieces of candy you would get

Below Micayla and Aca raced on tricycles and bikes with training wheels, very funny! Overall it turned out to be a great carnival !!
