Archives for December 2016

Tis the Season!

December 22, 2016 By Cari@MakingOurMemories 1 Comment

I can’t believe 2016 is almost over!!  The year has FLOWN by!

In a couple of days we will celebrate Christmas.  The girls will get up crazy early, tear open all the presents that I have yet to wrap and hopefully stay entertained long enough with new toys that I can relax a bit:)

This year I was determined to get our Christmas Cards out as early as possible so that I could share our new address with our family and friends.  Thanksgiving weekend had beautiful weather and I was able to take advantage of it and get some shots of the girls outside in their Christmas dresses (courtesy of Chasing Fireflies).

Some of our outtakes:)

And our Christmas Card (courtesy of Shutterfly).

From our family to yours….have a great holiday season and a happy new year!!

Wordless Wednesday – Montauk

December 21, 2016 By Cari@MakingOurMemories Leave a Comment

Before we were married, the hubby and I used to go camping with his family.  Recently, I was looking over my old photos and came across this.  We went to the lighthouse in Montauk, climbed to the top and I snapped this picture.  Love how blue the water looks! #imissthesummer

Happy WW!

Two years have flown by!  Faster with the second child!

I had planned a trip to Disney to celebrate Little Sisters second birthday (which was a few months ago).  I wasn’t going to ALSO have a party for her.  BUT….guilt set in and I eventually invited some family and friends for a little (and very simple) party.

I decided against a cake and instead went for 100 (Baked by Melissa) cupcakes that I “shaped” into a number “2”.  They were amazingly delicious!!

Last minute I decided to make something for all of our guests to sign since I had done the same for Big Sister’s 2nd birthday.  I melted some crayons on a blank canvas I had in my closet and had everyone sign with a sharpie!

We swam, had a pinata and ate!

 

She LOVED having everyone sing to her!

 

Wordless Wednesday – My favorite tree

I made a felt tree for Big Sister when she was about 2 and have put it up every year.  This year, our tree has a new home (since we moved in the summer) and another little girl who loves to decorate it!
