Lady of the Week: Mara

Mara got to be the Lady of the week at school this week. This means that she gets special jobs to do, she gets to bring show and tell(geckos, chicken eggs) and we got to make a special treat. We went ahead with cupcakes that had a Royal M on them. We chose blue because it is her favorite color and we added the green sprinkles in support of our Seahawks!

Geckos

Mara got to take our friends Geckos to school this week but before they made the trek to school they got to have a spa day in the Barbie Dream House! I wasn't to sure about these little reptiles before but now they have kinda grown on me. My oldest daughter tells me daily that she is going to be an animal trainer and that this is her first victim! We will see if they cooperate.

Finally we have EGGS!!!

The lovely Lucille finally blessed us with not one,not two but THREE eggs on Sunday morning. We have anxiously been waiting since September for this little rescued chicken to lay. Since Sunday she has been giving us two a day.

Oh and you can't tell from the flash on this picture but they are actually Easter egg blue in color.

Winter art

Here are some of Gracelyn's winter creations. I was told by her the other day that she is going to be an ARTIST when she grows up.

Happy New Year

More pics to come later but here is a preview of our kid friendly New Years Eve Party. The little ones hung on until almost 1 am.

Dinner with the Derouins

Last week we got invited over to the Derouin's for a yummy Merry Christmas/Happy New Year Dinner. Gracelyn and Sonny always have so much fun together. This evening they were snow white and wonder woman!

Lisa prepared a delicious prime rib with all the extras that go with it followed by the best burnt creme ever!!

Thanks Derouins for the yummiest and probably funniest dinner we have been too!

Jaclyn Smacklin

Mara got to spend the afternoon with Jaclyn getting manicures and going shopping. These two really see each other as sisters and it is very sweet. Love this girl and all that she is becoming!
