Oliver's 2nd Birthday!

Oliver's second birthday was so much fun, especially because Nana and Grandpa were visiting from Seattle!  Add the awesome cake that Anjanette made and it was perfect.  Seriously I lucked out with an awesome friend who makes amazing cakes (and so much more!!!)  Really the day was a hit because of the ball ballon.  It is the best of both worlds for this kid!  I think 2 is such a fun age, especially when the finally figure out how to blow out candles and that they get presents!  It took a while for him to figure out how to blow, his lower lip was pointing up so he was blowing up his nose which was hilarious!  Thanks for all the fun presents from the family :)

Lily's straight hair

One day before church Lily saw me straightening my hair and wanted hers done too.  Luckily we had enough time and that she is old enough to sit still.  It takes a while to fight the curls and she is ending up with thick hair like me :)  Now if I could just get her to smile nicely for the camera!  I like the extra effect with her stealing my sunglasses.  This girl is a hoot and I love her sassy sparkly personality! She also says she likes her hair like this because she looks like Ginny Weasley!  

Snow is falling all around

It was one of those pretty days, warm (considering it has been a quite cold winter) and giant snowflakes which are my favorite.  We got home late and put Oliver down for a nap and discovered that Mason and Lily never came inside, and never got any of their winter gear on.  That didn't stop them especially Mason who kept throwing snowballs at me and Lily who tried to build a snowman with her bare hands, I kept offering her gloves I promise I am not too neglectful!
