BIRTHDAY GIRL

Our sweet girl is an official tween. We love her so much!

The day started off with being the only child with a March 5th birthday.

Later that night the team did pushups and sang to her.  Really funny!

 Her friends from the "hood" stayed the night and acted like they were kids, as they should since they are. They played with bubbles, music, danced and giggled…perfect night. Thanks to granny for watching the little sisters so Sofia could get some love.

 At some point I had to let in on the fun of trying on some "hipster shoes" as they called it. Loved them so much but love Lexina's calf muscle more.

 They ate hotdogs and drank Snapple instead of us treating them to a nice lunch. EASY! Tweleve…looks like I really like this age.

They are mature with beautiful hearts. I really stood back and just watched. I had a grateful heart knowing that we are in this neighborhood with great families trying to raise good kids.

 Happy birthday Fifi!

WINTER FEST 2013

 Pools everywhere were having tons of kids play there little heart out. We were right there cheering our CMAC co ed team who played 5 games over the weekend.

So proud of this team! 

V-day
Go heart yourself! That is what I heard from our not so quiet 4 year old. Valentines was a big hit this year. I guess everything is bigger and better as they get older. The girls helped Bella blow 35 eggs out, paint/glitter, roll a letter and individulally wrap each egg in its own box. The kids loved smashing the eggs on there head and getting her "eggtastic" note. 

 Bella made a mailbox to look like a cake. She had a total vision that had to be created which included ombre tissue paper. Tally's are in and she is hoping to win for most beautiful. I wish I had a picture of her that day. She wore a puffy pink dress and a big flower in her hair. She is one of the smallest fourth graders and she is so precious with her big heart. She said a lot of people asked why she was so fancy and she responded with "its a holiday, an excuse to wear a dress".  I love that girl.

 And the best part of all, we woke up to gift certificates and really sweet cards. They girls get to go to yogurt land on a date and I am getting a new bathing suit. This one to be exact.
