Catherine's Birthday

Catherine had a sweet and relaxing birthday. She requested BLTs for dinner and lemon cake, lemon ice cream, and lemonade. Yellow is her favorite color so I think that is where the theme came from. Cat is such a joy to have in my life. She takes such joy from being a helper to Mom and by being nice to everyone. We love her so much and it was so good to celebrate her for an entire day.

The Girl's Birthday Party Part One

This year we did really low-key birthday parties for the girls. They had a friend party with friends from church and the neighborhood and then we did our family party that evening. We played Wii and Kinect and board games and then ate cupcakes and had a treasure hunt. It was nice to relax and have a good time.

Tulips

I found these beautiful tulips at Fry's and had to have them for Sarah's birthday. They were only $4.99 for 20 stems, so I bought two. They are so gorgeous, and have lasted so well.

Sarah Ann Thomason, age 5

My gorgeous little fiesty Sarah girl has turned 5 years old! I cannot believe it! My sweet little Bellie is not a baby anymore. It is so weird to think that my baby is so big. I can't even call her a little girl, without her telling me that she is a big girl. She is so excited to go to Eagleridge; the other day she looked at me in suprise and said, "Mom, I'm 5, am I going to school with Cat tomorrow"? I tried not to laugh and explained that she will go in the fall. Sarah just is ready to be grown up and on her own. I am thankful that she has so much stubborness in her because she will need it to make it in the world we live in, but sometimes it is hard to channel her energy for good, not evil. She can be so naughty when she wants to be, and then turn around and be so sweet and obedient. We love Sarah so much and are so thankful for her. Happy Birthday Sarah!
