Big Girl Bed

Aida is in a big girl bed now which means we had to do some re-arranging which led to re-doing their room. It all started with the quilts Lani and I made over the coarse of 2010, we had so much fun getting together every month to work on them. This was my first pieced quilt and it sure was a lot of work, but totally worth it. Thankfully I only had to do one of them.



















That led to making "PollyAnna" Raggedy Ann dolls for the girls for Christmas. They have loved them so much they've even put chapstick on their cute little faces, you can still see the remains.




























I thought I could stop there, but no such luck. Curtains, jewelry boxes, dust ruffles, pillows, an old window to help a new reader, and a runner for the dresser and now I am done

The girls love it and I can't help but stop and stand in the doorway when I walk by.

The Dinosaur Museum

Hailey went to the Dinosaur Museum with her class a couple of weeks ago, it was so much fun. She has been learning about dinosaurs in school. it was great to see that she remembered a lot about them. Her favorite part is the dark room with the stars, she loves to run through it.

Matt Made a yummy chocolate cake for desert last night. Aida loved it so much she said yum the whole time she was eating and she had to have several helpings.

Today I was folding laundry and it was suspisciously quiet, I went to find Aida and she had pulled a chair over to the counter and was devouring what was left of the cake. I guess she likes chocolate!

Carousel

Today we went to get Aida's two year old pictures taken. She is getting so big, I can't wait to get the pictures, they turned out great! I promised the girls a ride on the Carousel if they were good, and they were PERFECT!

Lani came with us to help with the pictures, she took this picture of us on the carousel. Both of the girls loved it. My girls are so blessed to have so many wonderful Great Aunts/Uncles and Great Grandparents who they know and love!
