Big Girl Bed

Anna Fair has recently graduated to a big bed. I've put it off for quite a while. Laurie 's transition was difficult. She actually slept on the floor on her crib mattress for several months. The only problem has been the massive amount of toys she puts in her bed every night. Sweet baby.

Whose Kid is That?

I like to tease Will that Laurie is his child and Anna Fair mine.  It works out well in some situations, "Laurie's hard headedness is all yours" but not so well in others, "Ewww, I think I recognize Anna Fair's hot temper." Well, here is proof positive that Anna Fair is mine.  I'm an adventurous eater and will eat most anything.  One of my favorites is brussel sprouts.  Will and Laurie don't care for them, at all.  

Here she is forking over a mouthful of them.  And asking for seconds and thirds.  That is definitely my girl.

Laurie Turns Five!

 Laurie turned five years old last month.  A whole hand!  And a fun time celebrating was had by all.  We started off the morning with birthday waffles.

Enjoyed our cupcake from the teachers at school.

 

Partied hard at Chuck E Cheese. 

Laurie and Meg had a joint ballet party and it was such a sweet time.  Laurie was so excited to celebrate with her.  She requested many different types of parties, Winnie the Pooh, Zoo, Princess, Jumpyland, fortunately, she decided ballet was a great idea.  We were smart and rented a room at First Baptist.  No clean up before, no clean up after.

 The girls colored ballerinas and treat bags.

 Anna Fair and Mary Ellison were precious playing together. 

 The big girls gave beautiful makeovers. 

Miss Krista is Laurie's ballet teacher at school and did a great dance lesson with the kids.  Anna Fair is still dancing around and chanting her verses.  "Let the butterflies through, don't let the bees in!"  She was thrilled to be a part of the big kids.

 Ate pink cupcakes with ballerina toppers.

 And opened all our presents.  I can't believe my  baby is 5!
