A Rootin' Tootin' Good Time

Let's take a trip back to November, when Lillie wanted to have a cowgirl party for her birthday. I was happy to oblige! We found stick horses for each of the kids, made a stable out of a cardboard box, played pin the tail on the donkey, and had a special pinata shaped like a cowgirl boot! Whew! I think it was a successful party, with lot's of playing and running around. Lillie has already started making requests for next years party, with the top two being Cinderella and a pajama party. It will be fun to see what she decides!

Before everyone arrived, Lillie got a little tired of waiting...I mean, it started at 11...it was like waiting an entire week!

All the horsies in a row...

 Of course we had pom poms.

Inside the stables...the place to be during the party.

Getting the pinata ready, they were all so excited!

Lillie requested a Jessie ice cream cake (of course she did!) It was one of the easiest cakes I've ever made.

Quinn's 1st Birthday

We're going way back today to September when Quinn turned one. We had a small get together, just the four of us with Mamaw and Poppy Doc. Quinn was just like Lillie when it came to the cake, a little too dainty with not much mess at all. Boo! We still had fun and he loved his first taste of cake. (Oh, and if you couldn't tell, each cake has a Q on the top, although Quinn's looks like the duck might be swimming in it's own hot tub or something.)

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope you all had a great day and felt very loved. I know we did. Lillie and Quinn both got into the spirit of the day - so fun!

Love Letters

We're baaacck! We pulled out my old childhood typewriter from a box in storage and Lillie latched on to it immediately. She's been busy writing all sorts of letters, just in time for Valentine's Day!
