Grandma Campbell's Christmas Party

Every year on the sunday before Christmas, my Grandma Campbell does a party for her entire posterity. There are probably 75 people in her basement and tons of food. This year my mom came to help with the festivities. Here are my favorite pictures from the event:

My little artist

Emily is my budding artist. She painted with watercolors for a good portion if the afternoon. The result was a messy table but a lot of great paintings. When asked what the "painting"on the table was called she replied:

Mess.

And so here you have it folks....

"Mess" by Emily.
Medium: watercolors

Goal Achieved

As a mom, I have come to celebrate the seemingly "little" successes throughout my day to feel like I actually did accomplish something.

Y'know...besides keeping four human beings and two cats fed and alive....

Anyway, today was a monumental day because....

(big breath...)

I SORTED, STARTED, WASHED, DRIED, FOLDED, PUT AWAY, AND HUNG UP ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THE DIRTY LAUNDRY HAMPERS AND FOLDED ALL OF THE SOCKS FROM THIS WEEK AND LAST WEEK AND PUT THEM ALL AWAY TOO.... ALL OF THIS ALL IN ONE DAY! TODAY! AND I'M FEELING REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF!

Phew. Glad I got that off my chest.

Some of you Supermom's out there may think this is ridiculously simple and can do this with no problem, probably every week, but for me, it has probably happened once. Ever.

Well, TWICE now!

So, today, I celebrate! Hurrah!

And to celebrate, I believe I shall go put myself to bed.

Good night.
