Papa Murphy's pizza tradition...

Shirley Temple

Rest in peace.  Thank you for all the memories...

and inspiration. 

Olympic Birthday

With her 7th birthday falling on the same day as the Opening Ceremonies, of course Bix had to have an Olympics-themed party.

Chocolate-coin medals for everyone

A little gold to take home

Olympic rings decor

All-American paper goods...U-S-A!

Easy decorating with the new Olympic pictograms

I LOVE these!

Flag banner

Simple snacks

Hockey puck ding-dong anyone?

When the kids arrived, the each decorated their own flag (and mom glued a dowel to them for later)

The red, white, and blue Gatorade was a big hit with all the little olympians

After all the games and cake, we had medal presentations and a Parade of Nations (led by the birthday girl)

Then, of course, we had a snowball (marshmallow) fight!

The best part about the whole thing?  Wonderful friends...

 

And this guy...at the middle of it all:)

 

Bix said the party was "AWE-some!"

We had a lovely dinner, but this photo says it all...exhausted.

Sisters

So blessed that these to enjoy each other so much.

Sharing Sonic and the iphone after school.

Sharing a blanket on a cold morning.

Sharing their love of Mexican food.

They both love to use their imaginations.

Sister-love

Just hanging-out together is great.

They party together.

Conspire together.

 They have their moments when they don't get along, but for the most part...love.

Let's Ride

Bix got a new basket for her bike, and took RoRo for a ride.

Fiona used her princess carriage basket to take her new doll for a spin.

Happy New Year

Wishing you a 2014 full of fun, friends, family, and a multitude of blessings!!

Thankfulness

We had a full, long weekend of family and fun.  We are so very grateful for all we have.
