Kadence's Winter "Onederland"

Our youngest grandbabe turned one year old just a few days ago. Kadence Noelle was supposed to arrive on Christmas day -- but-- she came a few weeks early.  Please indulge this"gb" one more time and allow me to share a few more family photos of our babes at the birthday party and at Christmas~
(and--- there is a little surprise for you all at the end of this post!)

her Mama made her little "tu-tu"

for her winter Penguin themed party

well, let me just say

that she was NOT going to wear the bow

that matched her outfit!

when you are one year old

it's ok to have your name printed on your bottom!

(actually, it's pretty darn cute!)

taking a photo with her sitting still

was not easy!  

she's a girl on the move!

the clothes come off for the eating of

the birthday cake!

~

Now-- her big sister, Keri Beth

also had a cute little matching outfit to wear --

but -- she was NOT wearing that

because, she IS a Princess.

 it's tough trying to carry out

all of your Princess duties when you are

 3 years old!

this would be the 

"pouty face"

(can you say Diva?)

us "girls" before the party

(Keri Beth, Kadence Noelle, and Maddy girl)

(it only took about 40 tries to get this picture!)

Papaw is grabbing a little snuggle

before the party

My best vintage Goodwill find ever!

~

vintage solid wool with a pink satin lining

perfect condition with the original 

"ILGWU" tag in the back.

~

I paid $3 for this little coat at the

 Goodwill store!

My friend Shell

created this beautiful little

wintery, snowy, Princess crown

for "you know who".

nobody does "bling" better than Shell! 

~

this little Winter crown

was perfect for the Princess!

she never took it off and insisted on

wearing it the entire time of our

Christmas celebration~

~

(heaven help us all!)

 playing with her

Sophia the first princess doll

Kadence did not really understand

the whole Christmas thing --

she loved the paper

and she was intent on watching her big sister!

Our Christmas miracle--

getting this photo made

before one of them wiggled out of our arms!

A little surprise gift from me to you~

When I posted a photo of me wearing these gloves on my last post, I had NO idea that so many people would notice (or care!!)  Over 40 emails arrived within the next few days asking me about these beautiful felted gloves.  So~~~ I spoke with Aurelija, the designer of the gloves and she has agreed to offer a special discount to my readers. 

You can find the gloves here and if you purchase anything from her etsy shop between now and the month of January, you may use the discount code SALE15AURELIA   for a 15% discount on your purchase. Who loves you baby? (me!!)

Some updates~

~~we are winding down to the last few days to sign up for the

 Grow Your Blog party.  The deadline to enter is January 15 -- 

I am already beginning to load your blogs into place for the party.
As of right now we have almost 200 entries for the party -- its shaping up to be a very nice event.  You still have time to invite all of your blogging friends -- the more, the merrier, as the purpose is to meet lots of new people and grow your readership and FOLLOWERS!!

I wish you all a wonderful and blessed New Year. Every day is what we make it -- my goal for this day and every day to come is to make it count~ do something special for someone I love,(like all of you), and to enjoy and appreciate all the blessings that surround my life and those I love.
