A fun visit

It was awesome to have mom & Mark come for a visit last week! Judah beat Papa at some racing games and we got lots of snuggle time with mum mum!

I made these yummy things for Paeton to take to school and hand out to her friends at lunch... I got the idea from Pintrist (a very addictive website)... you just put hershey kisses on small pretzels and bake at 275 for 3 minutes. As soon as you take them out, push a M&M onto the top... cool in the fridge to so the chocolate gets firm again. I think next time I'll use PB m&m's....

The Cake

It's been a few years since I made Paeton a birthday cake, so I decided there would be no store bought cake this year... I spent yesterday working on the perfect "Paeton" cake. She loved it. It was yummy too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAETON!

Paeton arrived home from school to find her mini-party awaiting her...

She ran next door and invited a friend to join her for cake...

blew out her candles...

And opened her presents.

Thanks Gma Carson for your gift!

Thanks Gma & Gpa Manning for your gift!

Thanks Gma & Gpa Vickers for the Smurf shirt and Amazon card!

And Judah got a sweet surprise from Gma& Gpa Vickers too! A SMURF Backpack! :)

Paeton got her very own KINDLE!!! Thanks MUM MUM & PAPA!!!

And a cool new tennis racket - she's had two lessons already and loves it!

Then all the kids were invited to sleep-over at Aunt Lindsay & Uncle Matt's. Another reason my sister is awesome! (you too, matt!)

A perfect end to a perfect party!

Birthday Party (Part 1)

We had a joint birthday party for Elle and Paeton (4th and 11th birthday's). There was face painting, necklace making, present opening, cupcake eating and so much more... :) My sister did an amazing job!
