Can You Believe It?

What a great day!  We got the cutest pictures taken of Cambree, bought balloons (of course), went to Shayla's award ceremony, watched Finding Nemo, made a cake, open presents and even had the best surprise of all, a visit from the Thueson's.

Can you believe it?  Cambree is ...........

Shayla is so happy for Cambree to have a birthday.

Of course it had to be a puppy cake!

Cambree was so excited to see the puppy!

Just not so excited to see the fire.

But it tasted good.

Then came the loot!

What fun to hear the doorbell ring right as we were getting ready to start presents.  We were so surprised to see cousins!!! standing at the door wanting to join the party.  That's dedication to drive all the way from Idaho, just for our little party.

I think Shayla enjoyed the festivities a little more than Cambree.

Happy Birthday, Cambree!  We love you!!!

Principal's Pride

Shayla received the Principal's Pride award for leadership.  One  member of each class received this award, and Shayla was chosen. They said that the leadership award goes to children who make right choices even when others don't and set a good example for the other children.  Way to go Shayla!  She was so proud of herself.  I think she even won the Parent's Pride award too.

Our Backyard

"Look! Reindeer!"  Cambree cries.  They love to hang out in our yard and in our next door neighbors yard.  It is so much fun to watch them.  We even have lots of evidence of them all over our backyard.  Watch your step!  I'm not sure how much we'll like them when we start planting our garden and our tulips start to bloom, but for now, this is fun.

Personality

We are really quite heartbroken that our girls are all looks and no personality.  I mean, it would be fun if they had a little bit of a charm.  I just think they would have so much more to offer in life if their personality matched their cuteness.  Oh well...........I guess we'll just have to settle for these dull girls in our lives.

How to have a great New Year's Eve

Having a great New Year's Eve party requires little effort.  All you need are cousins, movies, and bubble wrap and wha-la a great party!  See for yourself.

Looks successful to me.
