McKenley's first Gingerbread house!

Our fabulous Mommy Group had a party last week to decorate Gingerbread houses, so of course, McKenley and I were there!! We had so much fun & believe it or not, she actually helped quite a bit!!! Oh... and she also ate a TON of candy!!! Here are some pics of the festivities...

One of the amazing moms made ALL of these house for us!! They were all ready for us to load with candy and icing!!

The house McKenley "picked"

 She was VERY serious about putting the M&Ms on the roof!

 And she would get SO excited when she would "accidentally" get icing on her finger and had to lick it off... just like her momma :)

 

 She also helped me with the windows, the snowflakes on the front, and the snowman!!

 The finished product!!! ... this is her "cheese"... yea, we're working on it!! haha

 And then it was candy time!! It was her first time to try candy canes, jelly beans (her favorite), Twizzlers, and Snowman Peeps... can you say sugar high?!?!!

 She is sooo proud of her "ginger house" as she refers to it & it is proudly displayed at our house!

Can't wait to do more fun Christmas activities like this with her... its been such a fun December already and I know there's more fun to come :)

OKLAHOMA!!! 2 weekends in a row!

The past 2 weekends we have hit the road northbound 35 to the great town of Norman!! Even MORE exciting, it was princess's FIRST trip (of many) to Sooner-land!

Decked out and ready to go!!!

The first weekend we went to get family pictures taken on campus!! Thank you Misty Cate for the AMAZING pictures!

Our first stop upon arrival to Norman, was some lunch at Pita Pit... I think she loved it!!

Then it was off to visit the Sigma Chi House Mom!! Sooooo sweet :)

After our visit we got changed and headed to campus for our photo shoot :)  And of course, we had to take a few of our own!!

Haha! We were just tryin to do our part!!

First visit to the stadium. BOOMER!!!

 The next day we did a bit of shopping on Campus Corner and had some fun with some of the things we found!!

Loves the Gnome almost as much as her dad!!

Wish this had fit better, haha!

Already a #1 Fan!!

 And of course we had to take a picture in one of the telephone booths!!

The second weekend in Norman we went sans baby! Our FIRST weekend away! We had the pleasure of traveling with Joel and Lezlee (also their first weekend away), even though they are Raider fans :)
We had a great time tailgating, braving the rainy & cold weather, and even though the Sooners lost a FANTASTIC weekend!

Trip to the Dallas Arboretum!!

Today McKenley and I took a trip down to the Dallas Arboretum with a group of moms and other precious little ones!! I got to take lots of pictures and with all the pumpkins they turned out AMAZING!!
