Our "tea" party

Baylor wanted to have a Belle party. We decided it would be fun to have a little tea party with her little girlfriends all dressed up in their princess clothes. We invited everyone to our "castle" on Saturday, January 9th.

Mrs. Teapot was part of the decor and I made an Enchanted Rose

The royal table

with a place card for each princess

Gigi's cupcakes

Here we are waiting on our friends to arrive

Everyone was able to color a Belle or Belle and the Beast picture as they came in

KayKay gave out princess tattoos

We played musical chairs (very funny to watch)

and I read a princess story

All our beautiful Princess'

Top Row (R-L): Ruby, Macy, Harper, Lila, Fenley and Avery
Bottom Row (R-L): Caroline, Baylor, Evy, Becca and Natalie

What birthday would be complete without your best friend?

The birthday girl w/ her cupcake and "tea" (apple juice)

near the end of the party we turned on some princess music and the girls just danced. I think they had the most fun during this unplanned portion of the party than anything else:)

Faith was a little camera shy and wouldn't get in our group pic, but I had to have proof she was there:)

KayKay, Nana and the birthday girl

In one of the games everyone got a prize w/ 3 little rings and press on earrings--here's what Baylor decided to do with hers...

Our 4 year old

Is she gorgeous or what?!?! Here is my big 4 year old on the morning of her birthday. She wanted pancakes for breakfast...yum

After breakfast she helped make a cake for that night

This girl loves to help in the kitchen, so her and daddy made her favorite food for dinner-PIZZA

and here she is w/ her pink cake. And yes, we stayed in our PJ's the whole day. It was snowy, cold and windy so we snuggled up and watched movies:)

Family Wii Night

The night before Mim headed back home we decided to have a family night at our house. Jeff made some of his yummy chili and we all played the Wii that Santa left for our family.

Doing a little singing...

guitar playing...

(the one taking all the pics rarely gets in one, so I had to throw this one in)

and drumming

We even got KayKay to try before the night was over

Predators Game

We went to the game because our neighbor and good friend Bailey was scheduled to skate with his team in between periods. Christian was excited about the game, but even more so to see his friend down there too.

Above are Robby and Lori and below is sweet Cooper

all the little hockey players

our Bailey

This was my first game of the season and it was fun to be there w/ my boys

Baylor had her own night of fun...Mim took her to see "The Princess and the Frog" for her birthday. She said she really liked it and I guarantee she had more fun there than she would have had at the hockey game

New Years at Mam-ma's

We ended the year with lunch at Mam-ma and Pap-pa's house. We normally try and go right after Christmas, but that didn't work into peoples schedules this year. We enjoyed a big lunch and of course some yummy desserts...Baylor is showing off her chocolate mouth.

The kids had a couple presents waiting for them

Mam-ma picked out some cool stuff, so she deserved a big hug

It doesn't take much to see where we get our youthful faces from:)
