We enjoyed little Jo's birthday this past week

She turned three, so cute to watch her try and hold up three fingers,

it's a lot of work!

She loved having all the attention on her, oh wait that happens everyday :)

Opening in the presents before dad left for work

Having sisters home all day because of teacher prep day

She loved her princess tunnel and fort

Princess blanket

Princess pop-out book

You get the idea

Cake for the celebration was going to be ice cream cake roll

When the cake crumbled into itty bitty pieces it turned into peanut butter cup truffle, yummy

Rockin' boots

I wish I could pull off moon boots like this little one can

Youv'e had a birthday

M & S turned 10 a few weeks back
10 as is double digits
I remember when they used to look like this...

and now they have grown into this...

big, girls
I'm not ready to call them tweens, they still like to pretend play and dress up dolls
I hope they always like to do those things :)
They were thrilled when they received ipods for their birthday gift
they had both asked for money to put into their ipod savings goal,
boy were they surprised :)

Hamflakes

We had the sister missionaries over for dinner last week and they were telling my girls how to make "hamflakes"

We substituted and made turkeyflakes, turned out pretty cute for lunch meat

Mad Face

I asked Jo to give me her "mad" face
It was hard not to laugh

A New Project

I have been working the past few months to get M & S "new" room put together
I found the shutters for free through freecycle
The great hubby built the rest for me





made this pillow out of my aunts old sweater

Braces, again

We are gearing up for S to possibly be getting her braces off
M went to the ortho this week and had braces put on
The ortho is going to be a revolving door for the next few years

Christmas Joy

A wonderful Christmas was enjoyed by all
Everyone received their wishes
Christmas Eve was spent at a friends home,
enjoying dinner and then singing to the elderly at a rest home
Christmas morning was at home
opening presents, squealing, jumping up and down and all that fun stuff

Jo has been putting the dolls on timeouts this past week,

bet you can't guess where she sits when she needs a moment :)
