Allison's Birthday Party

This Birthday Girl is 7!!

 She wanted to have a pajama party so here she is in her new nightgown waiting for the party to start.

 As the girls started arriving, gymnastics was first on the list.  Back bends for every one!!!

 All those gymnastic classes are paying off...

 Even the boys had to get in on it. 

 After back bends they were famished so pizza, chips and strawberries it is...

 There was no more room around the table to poor Jonathan had to sit on the floor in kitchen...

 This is what he thought about having so many girls over.....

 Every body wanted each hand a different color

 Allison wanted and ice cream cake this year.  So I made it layered with brownie on the bottom, cookie and cream ice creams, hot fudge and whip cream.  It's so yummy!

 She also wanted Oreo's in the cake but it wouldn't fit so they each got an Oreo on top of their piece.

 Once again Jonathan had to sit on the floor in the kitchen.  Although he didn't seem to mind as long as he had food.

 She is telling a very important story. haha!

 

 She is my mini me, no doubt!!

 ALWAYS have to have a silly pic!

 

 Wrapping up the evening with a treat

I'm pretty confident in saying every one had a good time.  There was lot's of squeals and screams and running away from Andrew.  That is when they weren't dancing, getting their nails done or doing cartwheels and back bends.  The noise level in the house a was deafening a few times! That's a sign of a good party!

 

At 7 yr old Allison is in first grade, takes gymnastics every week and just got her own room for the first time.  She is so fun loving and is always trying to do nice things for people to "fill their bucket".  All of her shyness has gone away and she was chat up any one! She loves playing with her My Little Pony's, dollhouse, Equestria dolls and now Ever After High dolls.  She likes make up and shoes. She always loves cuddles and big hugs which I'm always more then happy to oblige. She is also a big help with her little brother and likes playing with him.  She darling girl has brought so much sunshine to our home with her sweet spirit and bright smile.  LOVE her SO much!!

January 2015

So this little guy likes to play in the sink with a pot, a spoon, a cup and lots of water. This will keep him entertained for hours!

 

 

At the end of the month Andrew had his first Pinewood Derby!  He picked the design and colors for his car and did a lot of the sanding.  Some of the work needed to be done by an adult so daddy stepped in.

Jonathan had so much fun watching all the cars and tried to get his hands on them.  He was by Andrew's side most of night, just hanging with the boys!

Andrew had a great time and learned a few things about how to build his car.  Next year he wants to try some tips to make it faster. 

Halloween Part 3: Class Parties and Halloween Night

We stopped in the see Allison first.  Jonathan wore his costume too at request of his brother and sister.

All the kids in Andrew's class had to sit in a circle on the floor.  Jonathan didn't know what they were doing but he wanted to be part of it.

Getting ready for a big night of trick or treating.  He loves this part!

I couldn't believe how well he kept up with the big kids. He was out running from house to house with them for a really long time.  But those little legs needed a break every now and then so he would sit in the wagon and have some candy.  Once he was recharged he would get out and starting running again.  A&A kept running ahead so there's not many (if any) pictures of them trick or treating.

It took him about .5 seconds to catch on.  He would go up to the door, hold his bucket out and when he saw the candy go in he was off to the next house!

On our way home we stopped at a neighbors house to warm up.  (I babysit this little girl) He loved this car!  He played with it the whole time we were there.  Christmas present maybe??

I think everyone had a great time but we were all glad to be home by the end.  It was a really cold night!
