Happy Birthday Mommy



My girls made me a red velvet birthday cake today, with the help of their daddy! They love birthdays of course and they love baking and candles. Imagine their joy when they discovered we had a 4 and a 6 to put on the cake! Great memories!

Abby's Art Show



Today was Abby's "Gallery Night" for her art class she has been going to since the beginning of the year. Mrs. Angeli is her teacher and she goes to her house every Monday for an hour and has a blast. Today Mrs. Angeli had all the students art on display at her house for all friends and family to see! Nana, Popsie, Auntie and cousins joined us to take a look at all Abby has done this year. She was very proud and excited to show off her masterpieces!

Tea Party Talk!

One of the girls favorite things to do is have tea parties! For Olivia, the planning of the tea party is almost as fun as the tea party itself. The planning part really became fun after Abby discovered the Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. It has so many adorable ideas for tea parties, I had to buy it for Abby for Christmas.


An added bonus to their little tea parties is the precious tea set my mom bought them before Emily was born while travel in the northeast. Unfortunately it only serves two but it is so cute and the girls just love the little teapot with a princess painted on it. Definitely a toy we will keep forever and they can fight over it when the have little ones of their own.


Today Abby and Emily wanted to have a "special" tea party in their tee pee upstairs. Which normally we do not have tea parties upstairs on carpet with our breakable tea set and real food and tea. But today I decide what the hey.....we will put down a vinyl table cloth and if they spill no biggie.

Their menu request.....turkey roll ups, cucumbers, carrots, goldfish, strawberries and Abby wanted chocolate ice cream and Emily wanted vanilla ice cream and tea of course. They said their little Johnny Appleseed prayer and dug in! I wanted to leave the video camera rolling while they ate. I am sure the conversation would have been very entertaining.
