Continuing on with Taylor's 3rd bday celebrations. She loves to help me cook. It drives me nutty. I seriously detest cooking. So the added help from kids sends me over the edge! But I recognize that this is something that Taylor really loves and it's a great way for me to spend one on one time with her. Pretty much anything else we do, my kids are fighting for my attention, but Aubrey has inherited my feelings towards cooking and drifts out of the kitchen anytime a cooking project is begun. As part of her birthday day, I let Taylor help cook her cake. And stayed patient during the process :)

For her birthday dinner/party, Taylor wanted Dora, Mickey Mouse, and princesses. Classy :)

She is a timid one, I think the fire on her candles was scaring her here?

 Olive was loving the Happy Birthday song!

 Taylor's favorite present from the night. Oh Dora.

Such focus!

January 2013 - Taylor's 3rd Birthday - Painting Celebration!

I thought it appropriate that my first post in over two years be another painting party. But oh how things have changed! In the last post, Taylor was just over 1(and didn't get to paint), Aubrey was 3. We did this painting session to celebrate Taylor's THIRD birthday, as she loves to paint. So Aubrey is 5 here and then there is the new addition of Olive, but we will get to her later!

Painting Party!

Miss A and I have been wanting to have this painting party for a while now. She had a friend over the other day and I decided to go for it. I'm glad I didn't know in advance how messy things would get or how long it would take me to clean them and the house up...bc I probably wouldn't have done it! But I'm glad I did because they had so much fun and I got some darling pictures of them!

These crazy faces pretty much sum up my daughter - she is such a crazy little nut.
