Fall Pictures

This weekend we took adavantage of the WONDERFUL weather we've been having and we took some fall pictures. The weather was perfect - maybe even a little warm for the sweaters the kids were dressed in. We had a fun time and the kids loved walking around the park.

Happy Birthday Claire

Claire turned 5 years old today. We had a family celebration, ate some cake and opened presents. It was a fun day, hopefully fun for my little girl. It just doesn't seem possible that she is already 5.

we gave her this ribbon wand that she loved to wave around.

Owen also loved the ribbon wand, but couldn't figure out how to wave it around without hitting Amelia on the head.

Here is Amelia trying to hit herself on the head with the wand - I think she got hit with it so many times she figured that's what it was for.

Every year on their birthdays, I write down a list of their favorites. Here's Claire's from this year:

• color: pink
• movie: Barbie Diamond Castle and Enchanted
• food: pizza and Alfredo sauce with noodles
• song: I Love to See the Temple
• watching Word Girl on PBS
• playing Word Girl games on the computer
• going to gymnastics
• and, of course, Sprinkles (her little stuffed giraffe she has loved since she was about 4 months old)

Happy Birthday, Claire.

we love you SOOOO much
