A Treat for Daddy

Our little chef helped make cinnamon rolls today...

with a little rolling here

some stirring and sprinkling...
and they're ready to go in the oven.

Yum! Tomorrow morning Daddy will enjoy these with the girls
(while mommy is out of town on a retreat for the WHOLE weekend!)

My sweeties

I couldn't resist reposting some of my favorites in a sweet little collage.
This morning at church I told a friend that her little girl was precious and her reply was "I agree totally!" So, I was just looking through these sweet pictures and wanted to say how totally precious these girls are. I mean Come on! So cute!

Birthday Weekend...

Can you believe our girl is 3?!

Birthday morning

And birthday party...

We were so glad to have so many family and friends join us for a great day at the park...

We even had a cute little Easter Bunny...

Some hot dog eatin

And cupcakes of course

Laina wore a party hat...for a minute...with her hands held down

Cam wore some nice ribbons

Isn't he pretty?

And Audrey opened some very sweet presents.

We appreciated them all very much.

Friends looking on

And sissy taking a look as well

Then we had lots and lots of play time...

Look Mom, I'm flying!

(I think that saying applies to both the pic above and below)

Thank you everyone for helping to make Audrey's birthday so special.

She absolutely loved every minute.

So on Sunday (her actual birthday) after church I picked Audrey up at her class and she asked if we were going to have her birthday party now. So, we headed on over to McDonald's for some happy meals and play time there.

Then we spent the rest of our afternoon playing in the backyard.

The Holt kids gave Audrey a cool bubble gun and she had a ball playing with it...

(notice the nice patio that Troy just finished....work on the grass is next...

you can see the need for that also...)

What a great birthday weekend it was!

Dallas Blooms with Gia and Bapa

Today was a fabulous day in DFW so the girls and I decided to spend it with Gia and Bapa at the Dallas Arboretum.

It is "Dallas Blooms" time and the theme was "Fairy Tales."

Everything was gorgeous. We all loved it!

What a great day!

And what a start to Audrey's birthday weekend!
