BIRTHDAY PART 2...............THE PARTY

On Friday evening we had Caroline's birthday party with some friends and family.  We called it a dessert party and had some cake, maple snickerdoodles, cake pops, ice cream bar, and raspberry tea.  The theme of the party was dragonflies and ladybugs.  (only Caroline!!)  She thought of this about the time her last birthday was over with and has not deviated from it one time!!!  This girl knows what she wants.  We think Papa Ed has been talking with her from heaven about the dragonflies.  Nanno made a dragonfly cake and I tried to throw in the ladybugs with the cake pops.  Her decorations and color scheme matched her dress.  Did I over do it????  Maybe.  Jeremiah made the best slideshow yet.  I am so grateful to him for doing these every birthday for our babies.  After the party we had a slumber party with Taylor and Ashlee, her little friends that she has been in daycare with since day 1.  It was a wild night.  I wish I had half the energy they do.  Miss Brittany stayed all night with us.  Thank you soooooooooo much Brittany.  You have no idea how much you helped me out.  We had lots of screaming, dressing up, popcorn spills, bickering, and best of all, lots of laughter and memories!!!!  Happy Birthday Sweet Caroline.  I still can't quite grasp that you're 4.

BIRTHDAY PART 1............TANGLED

Wednesday the 24th was Jeremiah's and Caroline's actual birthdays.  We happened to be out of school that day for Thanksgiving break so the two of them plus Papa got treated to a movie in bricktown.  They went to see Tangled.  Caroline was so excited.  I really wanted to go, but Caroline's slideshow kept getting deleted so I stayed home to work on that.  They all really liked the movie and they said they have never seen her so quiet.  She got to open a couple of presents first.  Jeremiah got her a Rapunzel doll which she has taken everywhere since!!!!  I gave her the Vintage Baby dress and bow to wear for her party. 
New Bow
Rapunzel.  She LOVES her!!!
We had some fun with Rapunzel's extension!!! 
Look what they got in to while I was cleaning the rest of the kitchen. 
Caroline decided that they could build a castle from food!!!  Guess who got to clean it all up?????
Who needs a dollhouse when you can make one from the food in the pantry!!!

HALLOWEEN 2010: WIZARD OF OZ

Halloween this year was on Sunday, but around here it was recognized on Saturday.  On Friday, Caroline and Carter dressed up for their school parties, so they got to be in character twice!!  Our theme stemmed from me wanting Carter to wear Caroline's scarecrow outfit from 2 years ago.  Nanno made it and it has to be one of the cutest costumes I have ever seen!!!  From there, we decided Caroline would be Dorothy.  Nanno made her dress and we found some sparkly red shoes.   Were they ever cute!!!!!!!!!!!  We went to Trunk or Treat at Choctaw Baptist Church and then on to Jones for some trick or treating.  We had so much fun and it was a beautiful evening.  Here are the pictures..................
