OATS BAGS!

MY Donna and her very talented sister Gail have created the most adorable little oat bags for Abbey and Michael. Gail is an expert quilter, stitcher, embroiderer, etc. and I didn't really know how talented Donna was at a sewing machine until just recently. Gail sent the cutest little embroidered unicorn and dump truck to Donna and then Donna created the oat bags for my children. YAY!

Check out how cute they are (and with a handy dandy handle to boot!)

Abbey and Michael LOVE them. Since getting them a week ago, not one night has passed without us all nuking them before bed. Toasty warm feet all night long! Soooo wonderful! Thanks Gail and Donna for sharing your "gifts" with us! It was so thoughtful of you and truly appreciated!!! xo

Beyonce Madness!

So, I'm getting VERY sick of "All the Single Ladies"...it plays over and over and over but I never get sick of watching Abbey and Michael dance! It's hilarious! If you can look passed Abbey's sporadic "Elaine-like" movements (Seinfeld), you can see Michael busting a move in the back with his maracas! He's really the one who steals the show! You can hear me laughing in the background too! Abbey doesn't like it when I laugh...she takes this dancing business VERY seriously! Enjoy!

P.S. Sorry Mary...another one for you to watch with Sophie! lol!

Twister!

Tanta Amanda and mon oncle Eric always spoil Abbey and Michael, whether it be for a special occasion or just for fun care packages. (Movie & Jiffy Pop was a recent fav!) This Christmas one of their presents was a Twister game. I hadn't played in ages but remembered how fun it truly was when we broke it open at grand-maman and grand-papa's house over the holidays.

Here's Steve, Michael and Abbey playing! What a fun family game! Thank for the awesome gift!

(and thanks for the peanut butter balls and sucre a creme! yummy! That's right Julie...a whole container of each for MOI!!! I know you are soooooooo jealous right now!)

Dancing Queen!!!

Here's Steve's daughter (ha!ha!) dancing her little heart out to Beyonce...still in her PJ's!!! Just another regular Sunday morning in the McAlpine household! I wonder where she gets it from?!?

My Holiday Honeys!

All dressed up for a night on the town! Love that Michael has his hand in his pocket. Cool Cat ha!ha! Now if we could have only got him looking AT the camera!!!!

Baby Henry!

On the 26th, we headed to Trenton to visit Steve's family. It would be the first time Abbey and Michael (and I) got to meet Henry Jeffery McAlpine (born Nov. 5th)We were all very excited. I was able to get some cute pictures of the newest addition to the McAlpine family.

Here are the three McAlpine grandchildren!

Caught Ya!

Only a grand-daughter could get away with playing like THIS on Grand-papa's pool table! lol!
