Happy 5th Birthday, Snapdragon!

Snapdragon had a week of celebration!  On Sunday, Feb. 5 with celebrated her birthday as a family and opened all of her family gifts.  We made cupcakes and a special cake.  On Tuesday, Feb. 7 (her real birthday) she took her special cupcakes to school and shared them with her friends.  Last night, we had a double party with her friend Gracen and invited all of their classmates.  The party was at The Little Gym and everyone had a great time tumbling, running, climbing, jumping and playing!

I can't believe my baby is already five. Many fun years to ahead!  Kindergarten here we come!

Love you, Snapdragon!

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!

 Where's Santa now?

Christmas Cookie Time!

I love this day!  It was time to make annual Christmas cookies for Santa.  Nothing is better than spending a day with the girls.  We declared this day a pajama day.  We watched movies, baked our cookies, and then Snapdragon helped me clean out my closet and her closet.  We also cleaned up the playroom to get ready for all of those toys Santa is bringing!

 Hard at work!

 Twinkies!  Buttercup's is red and mine is green!

The masterpiece collection!  Yummy!
