Teenage Room Makeover

After over a year of begging and complaining, we finally painted Buttercup's room.  We tried to get by with a little clean out and rearranging last spring, but we finally gave in and painted her room. She wanted to get rid of the little girl pink and polka dots.  I have to admit, it does look very nice.  She picked the color.  It is called "Quiet Rain".  Buttercup also finally got to hang up the posters she got for Christmas. 

Look at that adorable fluffy "pillow pet" posing in the photo.

Happy 14th Birthday!

My little girl turned 14 today!  It is an exciting year for Buttercup.  High school here we come!  We had a quiet celebration at home with her new favorite, red velvet cake.  She celebrated her birthday twice in Cincinnati with the family!  Happy birthday, Buttercup!

Christmas Blessings

We were blessed with another wonderful Christmas.  We enjoyed time relaxing at home together, went to Christmas Eve Mass at Holy Rosary, and then commenced with the annual Christmas Eve traditions.  We also enjoyed our trip to Cincinnati to spend time with the family.  We couldn't ask for a better Christmas!
