Birthday #3!

The Carrie Ella woke up to snow!

After getting a closer look at the snow we turned to the table of gifts. Wow! So spoiled by her family. Lucky girl.

Shopkins from Mommy, a big hit! (She also got a new hoodie, footless fleece tights and socks.)

She was very good about opening the cards until we got to Aunt Cynsie's singing card. (She's not a fan of surprises). 

Love this from Mammi!

And this from Aunt Cynsie! So awesome! 

Thanks to the Gorman clan for the Thomas walkie talkies too. ("He's my favorite engine.") 

Thanks to Aunt Debbie and the Grossman's for the beautiful card and mag formers. Fun!

Thanks to Aunt Dizzy and the Takacs's for the box of fun! 

And thank you to Grandpa Tom and Grandma CC for the new clothes. She wore some of the items today! 

And last but not least, from Daddy, a Duplo lego set! Huge hit! 

After presents we headed out to the park to see the snow. It was freezing!

Brrrr....so cold! Waiting for dumplings. 

On our way to PlayDate.

Had a blast at PlayDate!

Popcorn, sweet tarts and nerds while watching Frozen. 

We made and decorated her birthday cakes with frosting, sprinkles, sweet tarts and nerds.

Daddy made California rolls for dinner. 

Cupcake with a shot of Tylenol. (Running a 101 temp). Sigh...

I think that's (just about) a perfect birthday!

Love and thanks to all the family who sent gifts, cards and your birthday wishes! xo

Gobble Gobble

Hard boiled egg and soy sauce. Happy Thanksgiving!

Fresh air

Visiting Viva and Shazam.

My girls.

Wiggle Works

We went to a party at Wiggle Works last night. CE had a blast. 

Couldn't leave without a ride...

The Princess Who Did Not Laugh

One of my old books...

Legos

Couldn't get CE to leave school yesterday. I think we got the right birthday gift. 

 A year ago all she could talk about was the Elmo train she found on YouTube. 

Lately...

I finally got around to uploading photos from our camera.  Here's some shots from Halloween.  

Right as CE was getting her costume on Char's grandparents showed up and CE got shy....she was pretty stoked before that.

CE was Tinkerbell, I was the mouse Cheese (from the movies), Sean was a tree and Sally was a bear/pumpkin....

 The Wasse's were characters from My Little Pony.

Sister snuggles from Spiderwoman.

 Veterans day bundling.  Man we've had an unseasonable cold streak....

Aunt Lizzie

Aunt Lizzie came to meet Sally but it seemed to me like she officially got to meet Carrie Ella.  It was great to see them together.  I wish I didn't live so far from my big sister.  Thank you for coming to visit us. xo
