Love MAC!! I usually shoot for a light pinkish color-nude.

Congratulations!  Let me know ASAP what the name of the color is you want.  I will be back  blogging starting the first of the year.  XOXO

{Merry Christmas}

Frosty and Rudolph Necklace

 This was a perfect last minute craft to do with the kids.  Get a few bells and just add the embellishments as well as a string.  Perfect necklace, and my kids could not have been more excited.

{Giveaway} MAC Lipstick

I am excited to be giving away, what I think, is what every girl wants. A tube of MAC lipstick.

I have used MAC every since I was able to wear lipstick, and since, I have become addicted. Whoever does win will have to tell me what color of lipstick they want which CANNOT be exchanged for a different color or refunded. Some of my favorite colors are:
Creme D'nude
Frou
Hue
Lady Bug (a great red)
Pretty Please
Not only is MAC's lipstick to die for, the entire make-up collection has made me a total make up snob! So here is the deal PLEASE leave 3 separate comments for each thing you are able to do. If you just do one of the entries then just post one comment {up to 3 entries}:
1~Tell me what color you would want.
2~Follow my blog
3~Re-tweet, Facebook it, Blog it, just do something to it ;)

I am leaving this giveaway open til Friday night at midnight MST. Winner will be chosen Christmas Eve and will get a sweet little present for themselves or someone else the following week

Santa Claus is coming to town

O what difference a year makes. Every year we go to Oakridge as well as Little America Brunch {thanks dad}, and this year our kids were very much aware of who Santa was. The twinners have gone back and forth on who likes them on what day, but as you will see below Paisley has made up her mind that she officially does not like Santa and she will tell you she does not like him.

How much more fun is it to enjoy Holidays with your own kids? I love it!

And the winner is...

Congratulations Kathryn. I have emailed you so please let me respond asap. If I don't hear from you in two business days a new winner will be drawn. This winner was chosen via random.org Thank you for everyone that participated in my giveaway. I will be doing plenty more, but my blog will not be taken over by giveaways. If you would like to submit something to be given away please contact me at daniellecarroll59{at}gmail{dot}com. It needs to fit the criteria of my blog and be something that I would use or be passionate about.

Look for an awesome new giveaway, hopefully tonight or tomorrow. It is something fabulous that many of you said you would buy with the $50.00 gift certificate from Nordstrom. If that doesn't make you excited I am not sure what will. Maybe a little love from our friends at MAC make-up?

Gifts for Him

I always have such a hard time trying to buy for David. I don't know if it is because he really does not want anything or if he just doesn't want me spending anymore money {whoops}. But every year I always enjoy a good list of what is in or what could be useful to get for a husband, boyfriend, dad, or brother. Here is what I came up with:

Public Opinion Trim Fit V-Neck T-Shirt $22.00 Nordstrom

The North Face 'GTO' Rib Knit Visor Beanie $25.00 Nordstrom

Fossil 'Gage' Magnetic Card Holder$25.00 Nordstrom

Junk Food 'NFL' Regular Fit Crewneck T-Shirt$42.00 Nordstrom

Versace pour Homme Deluxe Gift Set ($194 Value)$98.00 Nordstrom
{I got this for Dave for Father's Day I believe. OOOOO it is so yummy}

Nixon 'The Player' Men's Watch$200.00 Nordstrom

Jordan Core Thermal Shirt $45.00 Nike

PLAID FITTED COTTON SHIRT $45.43 Today only Express

Express Graphic Tee $24.43 TODAY only

Don't forget that today is Free Shipping Friday and most store are offering free shipping on everything! Hope this helps for any last minute shoppers.
XOXO

{Deck the Halls}

For whatever reason today I am not in the Christmas mood. It has been a {rough} day at our house and I felt like I needed a time out. {does anyone else ever wish you could put yourself in time out?} After looking around I realized how lucky I am and I needed to be more Christmas~y. So if anyone else if having a little rough day here is my attempt to make you a little more festive?

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Potty Training Twins

I was not planning on potty training the twins this early. They kind of decided that it was time to potty train. Dave and I decided that we were finally ready because we didn't have much other choice. That night after Paisley had gone once in the to-to I told her I would get her a prize. With both of their big girl panties on off to Target we went. I was really nervous to take Presley in her unders because she still had not gone at home. We got to target, they picked out their prize, and Paisley informed me that she had just went "pee-pee". PERFECT. We bought the prize they chose out which was a doll sized potty and we went back home. The next morning was a little rough but as soon as the afternoon hit they were pros. They have done amazing. They know not to go in their little panties and it helps when there is a little peer pressure to tell you the truth. I was so nervous to potty train twins and it has been amazing. Thank goodness we are down to just 1 in diapers. 6 months ago we had 4 in diapers. Imagine the happy face this momma has on, and imagine the green left in our wallet :) Happy Day

Disneyland for Christmas

Here are some of the pictures from our recent trip to Disneyland. It has taken me forever to get them up with the holiday season. We had such a great time and Cole still wants to go on the Monorail. In fact he is asking Santa for the red monorail at Disneyland.
