My sweet girl is 5!

I cannot believe Ivy is 5 years old! WOW! Like I reaaaally can't believe it! She is my little baby! Her turning 5 is bitter sweet. I love the young lady she is becoming but at the same time the thought of her going into school makes me crazy!

I always struggle with party planning with her birthday being so close to the holidays! I knew I was going to do a Mary Poppins theme but didn't allow any time to plan it....like I leterally did eveything the day before....which was ok because it was midweek and we had a very small guest count anyway I just hate being rushed.

Well it turned out very cute anyway so I was happy (=

and we had a very special guest.....

MARY POPPINS!!!!!! (=

The whole time we were in Disneyland Ivy kept asking for this Lady stuffed animal! I had to wait until she was sleeping to sneak and buy it!

loooooove this one!

my birthday princess!!!

Family photos!!!! (=

I hadn't done professionals of Ivy and I in an embarrassing amount of time! I was set on doing Christmas cards this year even though money and time were tight! My friend Dave who is the main photographer at the wedding chapel I work at shot these awesome pictures!!! I can't thank him enough! Poor Ivy was a little sick )= but they turned out so well (=

December!!!

December is my FAVORITE month!!!! I love the family time, the weather, the shopping, the feeling in the air...everything!!! We has a busy month!

Below are a few pictures from my work party. It was held at Frankie's Tiki Lounge and we all dressed to impress in our Hawaiian attire (= Perfect for Christmas right?

I love my co-workers!!!

The day after Christmas the fam left for DISNEYLAND! Brennan and I worked and went up 2 days after. Ivy got to go for 4 days! It was awesome of course!!! But the day I went it rained most of the day :/
