Merry Christmas To All!!

The Catapult

Last week, Briana brought a baggie home from school with popsicle sticks, rubber bands, clay and a plastic spoon.
"We get to make a catapult for a science project!" she told me. She was super excited about this project and her and Mike put a lot of time into making it. The project was completed Monday night, and she was catapulting marshmallows clear across the kitchen! It was amazing. She got to present her catapult to her class Tuesday morning. Also very exciting. After her presentation, we brought her catapult home for her to keep forever. It's a good thing too, because it provided much entertainment this afternoon.

P.S. They were catapulting cheerios into each other's mouths.

Candy Cane Pizza

For dinner tonight, I made candy cane and Christmas tree pizzas. They turned out really cute and they were so yummy.

I got the idea for these from this blog. On the tree pizza, I used her recipe for the white sauce. I do not normally like any type of white sauce on pizza. I'm a red sauce gal. But, you have got to try this white sauce. It is seriously so, so good. And easy! Even Briana liked it.

Here are the cooked pizzas.

Yum!

The tooth fairy is comin to town!

Look what happened to Sydney at Spaghetti Works today!

We had just gotten there and were waiting for our table, when out popped Sydney's tooth! It was a very, very exciting moment!!

Briana had her annual Christmas dance recital yesterday. It was super cute! This year, she was only allowed to bring two guests to watch (grr!), so I made sure to record her dance and share it with everyone.

All She Wants For Christmas Is....

Orbeez!!
