Our New Favorite Treat

Who can turn down an ice-cream cone??

I know I can't. And I'm pretty sure I'm training my child not to either!

We've been eating a lot of ice-cream cones at our house lately...I think I've convinced myself that I'm going to eat ice-cream no matter what, and two scoops in a cone is better than four in a bowl. Right?!?

A Princess Party

Abby's birthday was last week and she was lucky enough to have Cinderella and Snow White come and celebrate!

And then Princess Caroline came and Party #1 began!

We had some yummy cupcakes (except for Lizzie Cinderella who can't eat cupcakes), read stories, danced a bit, opened some presents, even went on a little stroll! It was quite a party, thanks to Lizzie Cinderella and Jessie Snow White!

Party #2 was later that evening and involved the rest of the crew. I spent most of the day working on the cake, something I have never done and probably won't do again! At least not for awhile.

Oh, you want to see another close up of the cake?? By all means...

I'm pretty sure that I took as many pictures of the cake as I did of Abby. It was my pride and joy, along with my sweet daughter. :) And yes, it was painful to have to cut into it to eat it. But it was yummy as well as pretty!

And here we are the next day with a serious birthday hangover. We gave Abby a princess tent and sleeping bag, and she has slept in it every night since. Who knows when we'll get her back in her bed!

Here's a couple cute bonus shots taken at the doctor's office...

Claire is thrilled that she's not the one getting poked for once!!
