Princess Themed Birthday

The day started off on a very happy note - donuts and balloons delivered from Mawna :)  Of course, the birthday girl had one and so did a very happy little sister :)




Chloe's friend, Claire, has a birthday just two days away from Chloe's and was able to invite 2 friends to go to the zoo with her.  Chloe was invited and the zoo-date fell on her birthday! So, she got to go over, do crafts, and then go to the zoo -- she had the best time :)


Later that day, April had left for a sleepover at Mawna and Pap's (which she was quite happy about!) and the Birthday Girl had a dinner of: ham, mac-and-cheese, and cooked carrots.  Her 3 favorites :)  Then, she opened her gifts from us.  See this face? You'll see it again!


Then, we skyped with Aunt Chelle and opened the gift box that had come in the mail.  Ballet Shoes! and tights! and a leotard! Chloe is starting dance lessons next month.



Saturday was the day of her party and this beautiful arrangement came from Aunt Chelle and Uncle Tom - who were sad to be missing the party.




Look at that face!! :)  Angry Birds game from Uncle Mark and Aunt JungMin.  Has been played every day since the party :)

Cinderella shoes from Mawna and Pap.  She has longed for these shoes since seeing them ... and her wish came true!

Twenty one-dollar-bills from Mimi and Pop = very excited Chloe :)

Princess Legos from Mommom R.
She also received pajamas, a book, two skirts, a mosaic-craft kit, and a baseball tee.  Those pictures are blurry because she was so pleased and wiggly while opening her gifts ;)  I think she felt special and celebrated during her Princess-Party-Day! :)

Wedding!

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Martin! :) We attended Natalie and Dallas' wedding on Saturday and had a lovely time. We know both the bride and groom from college....and just happen to be great friends with the bride's parents as well (Hi Bill and Doreen!). Here is the new couple - Natalie looked beautiful, and Dallas looked pretty good too ;) Here I am with the bride - check out her BLUE shoes! No wedding is complete without a little dancing and singing....particularly to Livin on a Prayer....Steve, Jeff, and Kevin sang at the top of their lungs and performed an air guitar solo: even the bride joined in: We had a great time! I'm thinking of the honeymooners.....kind of wishing I was on a tropical island somewhere too! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h
