A Sophia The First Tea Party

 We watched the Sophia the First

Disney Movie and liked it

so much we decided to have a

Sophia the First

tea party.

 Grace decorated cupcakes while

Olivia sampled frosting.

 Aren't the cupcakes cute?

We carried this little plate strait to

the tea room. 

 Grace poured tea and then

both girls licked the frosting

off of their cupcakes.

I think cupcakes are simply

frosting dispensers.

Neither girl eats the cake.

Only the sprinkles and the frosting.

Hmmmm..... I wonder if we

should try just making

frosting cups?

 

Puppet Show Time

 I got a bunch of cool new puppets

for Christmas, so Grace gave me a

puppet show!

 Aren't these the cutest puppets?

 They were just perfect for a rainy afternoon!

 Olivia and I got to be the audience

while Grace performed!

Every so often Grace would look out

to make sure we were paying attention.

We were...

See Olivia laughing....

Grace performs a really funny puppet show!

See...

She made Brilyn's Barney

scare away a sting ray!

I think Olivia was just surprised

to see Barney.

He's not a puppet!

He's a dinosaur!

Two Girls In A Tent

 When Grace and Olivia were here they
played in this tent for hours.

It was a hide out....

A safe spot to hide from the Big Bad Bear!

The Big Bad Bear would eat you

if you didn't eat the antidote!

Or at least that's what Gracie told me!

And do you know what the antidote is?

It's Cookie Monster Cookies

AND

Strawberry Marshmallows.

(OR - whatever Grace happens to want at the time)

I think this was Grace's way of saying

she needed a snack. Or, she wanted a

snack. And Olivia just enjoyed

sharing it!

 

New Breakfast Trays

When Grace and Olivia are

here they like to have breakfast in

the living room in front of

the T.V.

The T.V. trays are great

for Grace, but they're a little

awkward so Olivia.

So, when I saw these, I had to

grab a couple.

PERFECT!

Now, Olivia can enjoy her breakfast

and watch her shows, too!



Photo Booth Fun

The Saturday Night before Brilyn's

Birthday Party

I took pictures at a

25th Anniversary Party and

we set up a Photo Booth. Grace watched

me edit some of the pictures and she

laughed and laughed.

The pictures were so silly!

Hilarious, actually!

Grace loved them. And after

Brilyn's party she and Olivia were

going through their goodie bags

and she saw these suckers.

She held the up to her head to

make Mickey Mouse ears and shouted

PHOTO BOOTH!

So, of course I grabbed my camera!

Isn't she just the cutest

thing with those ears on?

Brilyn's Mickey Mouse Party!

Brilyn had a Mickey Mouse Birthday

Party at her house!

 She has lots of family and friends

who wanted to come and

help her celebrate, so she celebrated

for an entire week!

She got lots of presents!

She shared her toys - and even gave

her guest a little ride!

 Grace and Olivia like her new play house!

And I think everyone liked her

new swing set!

Brilyn had a wonderful birthday week

and I'm happy for her.

She has been a wonderful blessing

to our family. She has a special way

of bringing smiles everyone's

faces and knowing just who

needs an extra hug.

Happy Birthday, Brilyn!

(and yes - it's party #3 - we like to celebrate!)

Happy Birthday, Billy!

 Today is my son, Billy's Birthday!

Billy is the adventurous one in our family.

He's played inline and ice hockey.

He's rode motor cross and rode bulls.

He rock climbs and rappels.

He's been a bull fighter and is now a firefighter.

And will do just about anything FUN!

 Here he is doing tricks on a four wheeler.

 A four wheeler that he can ride almost

as good backwards as he can

forward.

Billy has always been blessed with the

ability to do things. He can pretty much

do anything and do it well.

Happy Birthday, Billy!
