Second Annual GIRLS ONLY Christmas Party!!!

Last year began our tradition - GIRLS ONLY Christmas Party - with 3 of my very close girlfriends and their beautiful daughters. You see, we all had girls within the same year, Lola and Jayla in February (the same day as a matter of fact), Camden in July, and Avery just made it in December! What a great excuse to get together with the mommies and girls for a little play time and gift exchange! I hope that we continue this party every year!

This year we switched it up a little bit, new house = new rules! Ok, not really, it just ended up that way. Susie and Jayla were the hostesses with the mostesses (not a word I know, but it is right now) today and we all brought one gift and drew names when we got there to see which gift we would be opening! Last year we said we were going to make the presents and that we had a whole year to put it together...well, a year came and went, and we didn't make anything! Life got busy - so we all bought our presents, maybe next year??? Anywho, Lola got new Vans shoes that she can't wait to start sporting! They are beyond cute! Thank you Avery!

All of the girls! Thank you Jearel for taking our picture before you snuck out of the house!

The Girls!!! This year they were serious! Wonderpets theme song popped into my mind as soon as I got done snapping pictures! We sang it afterwards!

Not feelin' the pictures this year - as you can see!

This one cracks me up - they all have their own agenda, and poor Camden is getting hit on the nose with Avery's toy wrench!



Mommy Candis and Camden

Mommy Camille and Avery

Mommy Susie and Jayla

Mommy Jenni (me) and Lola

Camden was the cup stealer of the day - think she tried drinking out of every cup! I caught her on camera with at least two!

Snackin'

Cheesin' it up with grapes in her mouth!

Jayla hasn't used a binky since she has been like 10 months old - Lola got her a special gift (as Susie and I like to think that they have a special little bond since they are born on the same day - maybe we secretly wish them to, either way...) one in which has a binky - Jayla wasted no time putting it in her mouth and pretending it was hers! It was so funny!

She was one of the only ones that would crack a smile while posing on the couch!

Lola seemed to have just wanted to chill and drink her water.

Wonder what Camden is thinking?

These two girls have the crazy hair of the group - Lola's is straight as a stick and Camden's is curly, however, both are CRAZY, but cute!

My little candy cane princess!

Avery takin' it all in!
Jayla and her pony baby (that is where the binky came from)!
Playing with Avery



Jayla's pink chair is very special to her and Lola loves it too! Before Lola comes over Jayla is usually telling her mommy and daddy, "No Lola chair!" or something to that effect. Not only did Jayla share her chair very well, but she also shared her pony baby with Lola too! Think they will make wonderful babysitters someday! It was really cute to watch them take care of their "babies"!
And with all of those cute pictures where everyone is so happy comes this - she can turn so quick lemme tell you! That, my blog friends, is my lovely Lolita! In NO WORDS at all, she was telling me that it was naptime, please mommy pack up our things, we need to go! HA!


Thank you Susie and Jayla for hosting our wonderful Christmas party this year! Thank you to all the girls for setting aside time in busy schedules (this I know) to get together and keep our tradition going! Lola and I had so much fun with you today! We love you ~ Merry Christmas!

PS - We call next year!!!

how fun! cute everybody had girls so close together. they all look so serious! those little antlers on lola are so cute. i'm still wondering where the hell i went wrong with kylee and her not allowing anything on her head... ever.

i think mama creel should be the hostesses with the mostesses next year, she'll have the baby of the group. a new little 4 month old. awwww.....

How cute...those girls are DARLING! And what a great idea to bring a gift and then draw names when you get there!

Looks like you have a great set of friends and Lola has a group of friends for life...such a blessing! :)

I loved the look-back (may have to copy that one) & love our tradition! I think we should keep it going like this year (draw names- that was perfect.) Thank you for bringing your camera & capturing some awesome memories. Love you!

By the way, Lola looked absolutely adorable in her little candy cane headband!

Looked fun.

Oh miss Jenni, you got some REALLY GOOD pictures. I LOVE the ones of Jay-Lo on the pink chair, and of course I love the ones of the girls (and us) on the couch. This is really such a fun tradition, and I think with every year it will only get better.

Thank you so much for Jayla's special gift before hand. Those two do have a special bond, and someday they will grow to appreciate it like we do ;)

I'm looking forward to you being the hostess with the mostest next year!!!
