Random Post Catch-up

My neighbor brings me food all the time and has amazing presentation.  It was sooooo good too.  I love her hummus!!!

This is the girls playing dress up one day...I just had to get a picture.  I love the scarves and how it enhances the use of their imagination.  They can be just about anything.

Sam, Madison's best friend who moved away, came to visit and they had so much fun playing together again.

We celebrated Madison's birthday as a family.  Abby gave her a baby with a stroller and Grandma gave her the elephant.

Abby got her four year old shots today...all four of them in her arms.  She couldn't move her arms very well that night, hence the tears even with ice cream:-(

Madison and Daddy eating her birthday ice cream with an oreo.

I made these mint brownies for teacher appreciation and they turned out pretty nice.  I love having mint grow everywhere here...

Madison got her snowflake put up in the school in a picture frame.  There was one other kid from her class that had his up.  There are only 6 displayed at a time, so it was an honor for Madison to have hers up there.  She loves to do art and takes her time with anything that is crafty.  She was really into origami for a while there and now draws roses and flowers everywhere.  She is also doing poetry.  I'll try and post one of her poems:-)

The combined birthday party.  Sorry for so little pictures...we were a bit preoccupied with the and 20 kids:-) pinata

 Here is a picture of the barbie cake the girls demanded having.  It's made with marshmallow fondant and has the barbie in the center.

 So sad, some of these friends will be moving all the way to Florida next month.  We do weekly play dates with them and will miss K., A., and E. so much when they are gone and I will miss J. terribly.

 Today at school was wacky hair day...well, this is what it looked like...then Abby had to have hers done the same way, so we did hers too.
