Multicultural Monday

Bix learned all about Africa...

and loved it!

Fi learned a song about dinosaurs from her sister.

What Do You Do on the Weekend?

We do stuff like this...

Then we shift to more authentic music.

Parade Weekend in Shreveport

Started out just right...at the Oyster Bar.

When we got to CiCi's house, she surprised the girls with some Mardi Gras gear!

They couldn't wait to get it on.

KK got in on the fun too.

It rained all day Saturday, so the new umbrellas got some heavy use.

Those two wanted to start their own parade.

A trip to the Frozen Frog was in order.  Besides, KK  and Bix had some deep questions to discuss.

Fi was quite proud of her orange sorbet/vanilla with peanut M&Ms and gummy bear combo.

Chocolate with Skittles and gummy sharks was the order of the day for Bix.  Each girl ate every bit (even drinking the melted part). Personally, I think Mommy's peanut butter/chocolate swirl with Heath bits and Twix pieces was the best choice.

It was a rather wet and somewhat cold parade Saturday night, but we braved the elements (for awhile).

Everyone was glad to get inside, dry, and fill our bellies with Cane's.

Bix even nabbed a little of KK's and JB's pizza. Yum!

Those two really do love their JB.

Even though our bead-catching-time was cut short, we did have quite the haul.

Sun shining on Sunday...the family was ready to go again.

Great times!  What a group...what a fun weekend.

Happy Mardi Gras

From our family to yours...

Laissez les bons temps rouler

Bix is...5!!!

Boy, did we have a fun-filled week.  We have been so busy, I hardly had a chance to take photos.  There were of course, the requisite smiley-face cupcakes.

Berry Bitty Market from Grandmommy. (Just the beginning of the Strawberry Shortcake)

Happy faces on the way to the big party. The official theme was Strawberry Shortcake-Mardi Gras-Star Wars.

The twenty one kids were moving so fast, this was about the best we could do. (Yes, that is Bix in the pink leggings with aqua shirt and orange skirt)

There goes Fi!

Crazyfun!!!

Pizza...

The Strawberry Shortcake cake. We also had an amazing King Cake, and the birthday girl got the slice with the baby.

More presents than any one kid needs.

Fi could hardly contain herself, but she did.

Birthday Queen

Winding down with popcorn...and a Strawberry Shortcake movie.

Once it got dark the girls got into the Star Wars spirit with their new swords.

Thank you everyone who helped to make Bix the happiest 5-year-old on the planet.  We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family to share these special times with.

Happy Valentine's Day

From my Funny Valentines to you!

Look for updates

Fi Likes to Dance Too

There is music playing in the background...you can hear it if you turn up your volume.
