Was your weekend like mine this:

I had big plans of accomplishment for my weekend, but this is how it really went down:

1. I did give this little lady a ride in a shopping cart while we got some groceries.

 2. I DID NOT put up my Christmas light on the house, because I am: a) a little afraid of being above the 6th or higher step on a ladder and b) Jordan was snowboarding with our cousins so he wasn't home to help

3. I DID NOT finish putting up my Christmas decorations...but what I do have up so far looks pretty funtastic and very candy-land-ish! CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW I MADE MY CANDYLAND WHITE WREATHS.

4. I DID  take pictures of the kids while they wrote letter to Santa at the store.

 Blake working hard to write that he wants Angry Birds toys and Alani has something about LA La Loopsie Dolls.

5. I DID NOT do all my laundry.

6. I DID have fun at my gramma's and we had a big dinner and games.

7. We DID make it to church.

8. And I DID make it into Sephora to see what they had to make my "CHRISMTAS BEAUTY WISHLIST MUST HAVE's"

9. The picture I took in SEPHORA did not come out...it was so blurry I could have said I was anywhere! ha ha ha ha

doing laundry, your kandee

You like these teeth and "the 2nd best":

I posted this last night on Instagram...it just cracks me up (it was a gift by the way)...she doesn't even like pacifiers and I'm pretty sure she doesn't like Hockey either. ha ha ha

This was my little cutey, who seems to be the only one that will sit in this old chair, becuase it's pretty much zero percent comfortable.

 Jordan, my oldest son, who's way taller than me now...said this is his second favorite outfit he's ever seen her in. ha ha ha

 If you might wanna guess, it was another cutey-wootie outfit from Gwen Stefani's mini harajuku line from good ol' Targetino!

 Awww my lil' cuddle bunny, I know I'm biased, but I just think she is so adorable!

THIS WEEKEND WE SHALL:
*or I shall, attempt to finish all my Christmas decorating.
*laundry- oh the fun!
*get some groceries
*try to film a video maybe, on my christmas decorating or some christmas DIY (hopefully)

Come see how I roll at Disneyland:

 Oh Disneyland...the happiest place on Earth! I used to want to figure out a way when I was little that I could sleep at Disneyland and somehow I (in my plan) all the rides and everything would be open and I'd have it all to my lil dreamin' self!
Just look at the Mickey Caramel Apples...
now I know I already blogged about our day at Disneyland...BUT!
What you don't know, is that I tried to film it too! SO last night I stayed up to edit this baby til' about 3:40-something AM! ha ha ha ha

 My favorite part, that I didn't film was Blake trying a Luigi's tire hat on in CARS LAND!
YES, I give you a tour of CARS LAND in the day then we went back at night to see how much, more, awesome it looked at night!!!

And our family tradition of taking pictures of someone taking a picture of you! ha ha ha My sister can be seen pretending she is my paparazzi!

Now sit back and enjoy my highly trained "vlog style" filming:

ALSO HERE'S SOME OF MY DISNEYLAND FAVORITES:

FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT:
The Mexican Place in Frontier Land (I don't know the name!)- the Enchiladas are amazing and you have to buy some of the Cinammon Sugar Tortilla Chips!

ANY PLACE in NEW ORLEANS SQUARE that sells the Monte Cristo Sandwiches- the are like a sandwich and dessert in one- your tastebuds will never be the same.

THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY PLACE- the restaurant in with the pink umbrellas right before you seel teh castle. The have the BEST fried chicken, and I don't even normally like fried chicken...and their strawberry shortcake dessert is yumtastic.

THE BBQ PLACE- near the petting zoo, right outside of Fantasyland, if you're looking at Dumbo's Ride, you'd go the left towards Frontier land- (again I don't know the name!) It's family style, and it has some of the best ribs! And they sing fun songs on stage while you eat, it feels like your at a chuckwagon dinner! I love it!

AND AND PLACE you SEE on MAINSTREET  that sells the APPLE PIE CARAMEL APPLES- I don't even really like caramel apples but I buy like 3 of these every time I go!


holla holla holidays, kandee

My "candyland" Christmas Tree Before and After:

Here's good ol' "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" tree....

We got her at Target I think....she's not new.

She lives in the garage when it's not Christmas time. She likes it there.

And this is after many Christmas songs were played, many candy canes were eaten...and there was lots of glitter that needed to be vacuumed and

we got used all our "candy ornaments (again, from good ol Targie) and my fun collection of cupcake

and lollipop ornaments.

 And Alani pretended she was a present under the tree! ha ha ha ha ha

 and yes, tree decorating is usually fueled by mugs of hot chocolate.....
I just love this muggy: CLICK HERE TO SEE MY WHOLE POST ABOUT HIM AND MY YUMMY CANDY CANE-WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE RECIPE.

 

Let me know on facebook, twitter, or instagram if you guys want me to do a video of my Christmas house tour of my decorations again!

I really feel like I'm living in "kandeeland" now..hee hee hee

glitter and candy canes, your Kandee Caniest of them all!

Ps. New video is on it's way on my youtube channel.

How to put the fancy on for a light parade:

#1. This is what Ellie helped pick out to wear....

she insisted on the faux fur jacket.

Yes, we may be going to a lil' old town style, Christmas light parade...but she was going glam!

 #2. This is how you pose, like a boss.

 #3. This is how Alani poses, like a boss.



AND THENNNNNNNNNNN.....

#4. This is how to go to a light parade, like a boss: that's going to be fired... take your camera phone and make sure not to charge it before you go so it dies  when you get to said parade...and then you've got no good pictures of you drinking multiple cups of hot chocolate, the "chocolate mustaches" that were decorating our faces, or Ellie dancing to the marching band.

#5. It was cold. We ate lots of cookies. Drank too much hot chocolate. Scratch that, you can never have enough hot chocolate (maybe Buddy the Elf said that, but I agree).

#6. As we made the walk to the cars (which was a few streets away) we sang Christmas songs...only to realize we sang loud enough that when we stopped, the group of people behind us continued on singing another chorus of the song! Ha ha ha So we started singing again with them...it was like "Christmas Caroling" with people we don't know- but-they-had-some-little-hot-chocolate-mustaches-too! ha ha ha

#7. Then we had a yummy dinner at one of our favorite places that makes the best bread and soup!

typing from my partially, Christmas-decorated living room while drinking my Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea, your kandee kande (yes, I just called myself that)

See what's the goods are today on my other blog, KANDEEJ by CLICKING RIGHT HERE.

Did you see my latest YOUTUBE video?!? IF not, CLICK THIS BAD BOY.

sweet evidence and the best of morning hair:

This is perhaps the best morning hair our house has to offer.

Which is only matched by the awesomeness of the face, Ellie is making.

And last night, I saw Blakey sneek out of the pantry, real quick and give me a funny little smile.

NOTE: funny little smiles usually translate into: "heh heh heh, I didn't just do something"

I later went into the pantry to get some of my new fav, SUGAR COOKIE SLEIGH RIDE tea (I didn't even need to put anything to sweeten it- and you know how much I LOVE me some sweetness!) from Celestial Seasonings- yes I blogged a picture of it here.

 

 anyway....as I walked into to make me a cup of tea, while I edit a new video (that will be up on my Youtube today!)....I saw the "candy scene" above:
A pair of scissors (which were used to open the giant dot candies, you see above)
The opened Giant Dot (AKA paper button candies) Candy Package, which I thought I had hid on the top shelf, because I bought them to do a "candy make-up look".
I like how he found my good fabric scissors and that he stuck them in a lunch bag, for safe keeping. You want to be careful with the "good" scissors! ha ha ha ha

And we're out like the candies from their packaging, kandee, morning hair Ellie, and Blake the sneakey candy-opener
