Week in Review

Hello! I've been gone a week, but it feels longer. We've been so busy with a birthday, two snow days, a tea party, and Valentine's day. Emily started feeling sick Thursday evening and missed all the fun. After a trip to the doctor and a round of antibiotics she is finally feeling better. Here are a few scenes from this past week...

My handsome boy turned 9!

He requested a Dirt Cake (pudding and crushed oreos) and he decorated the top with cookies and gummy worms.

Lots of gummy worms!

His neighborhood friends came over to celebrate, eat hamburgers, and play in the snow.

On Saturday, Grace and I went to a Mother and Daughter Tea.

So, that is what we've been up to. I'm looking forward to a more healthy upcoming week!

this looks absolutely gorgeous, all those cups and egg holders. It is fabulous. I'm sure you had a wonderful time.
The goodie bags look great too, with the Eiffel tower on them. My daughter went to Paris with school last year. This year she's going to Venice. She is such a lucky girl !!!
