Happy Birthday, Hope!

 We celebrated Hope today with her favorites: frozen yogurt and a movie.

 The boys went to a different movie, and I took the girls to Hotel Transylvania 2.

Since she opened her presents earlier this week, she got to celebrate without presents, but we sure had fun.  I'm so grateful for Hope, and I can't believe she is 5.  She loves to do crafts, paint nails, be fancy and sing.  Sure love her.

More Football

 Spent the afternoon watching another football game and cheering for James.

We bring the best cheerleaders.

Recycling at its Best

 I had been looking and looking for something to make a doll house for American Girl dolls.  The problem is the dolls are so tall that it's hard to find something wide enough to fit their furniture.  When I saw this old entertainment center on free-cycle I knew I had found the perfect house.  I put in a floating shelf and pole for the second story.  I painted the inside and added the contact paper and voila! Now these dolls have a home.  The best part is you can shut the door and hide it all.

 I gave this to Faith and Hope for their birthdays this week.  They got the kitchen and couch as well as the dressing table for their birthdays.  I don't know who loves it more, me or them.

Party Time

 Today Faith had her party for her friends.  She chose a rainbow unicorn party.  It was awesome.

 The girls painted a unicorn painting, made necklaces and played games.

This party was a success!

Happy Birthday, Faith!

 To celebrate Faith's first day as a seven-year-old, we brought lunch to her from McDonald's.

 I ran Hope over for her preschool open house to meet her teachers after lunch. Hope starts preschool next week and she is so excited.

 After school we spent the afternoon at our favorite fall festival, Cox Farms.

 The only reason the boys came with us is because they got out of school early to come with us.  They spent a lot of time in the penny search.

 After Cox Farms we went to dinner at Wendy's and then the girls opened presents.

 They got a lot of American Girl doll stuff.

 Happy Birthday, Faith!  Faith makes our lives better in every way.  She has so much spunk and energy.  We are blessed to have her in our family.
