Par-Tea!

   We hosted Morgan's 3rd birthday at our house and this year we did it a little differently and just invited her girlfriends.  Morgan has known most of these girls since she was one years old.   They are so cute when they get together with lots of giggling.    She is already very blessed with great friends.       We are looking forward to showing them these pictures 10years from now.    

If you are looking for a dress up/tea party rentals in the Dallas area.   I highly recommend Simply Pretend.   These days Morgan loves pretending and playing dress up. So this was a perfect party for her.  She loved every minute of it!  

Big Girl Birthday!

We had family over this last weekend to wish Morgan a Happy 3rd Birthday.   She loves dressing up and of course always smiles when she gets to wear pink.     Before the party she kept saying   "Im so excited!"      She couldnt wait until everyone arrived.  The cake, Daddy picked it out.  I would say it was perfect and he did a great job.  It is hard to believe 3 years is already here.   She has brought so much joy to our family, and such a loving little girl! 

 

Planning

The last few months when we ask Morgan what kind of birthday party does she want.     The answer is always the same  "Pink Tea Party!"   Daddy even pesters her and says, sure not blue, or brown?   She says "NO, PINK!"  Well, that's exactly what she is going to get.  The invitations are in the mail and the planning has begun.  

Best of the Holidays

My son Gabriel gave me a special gift at Christmas.    A self portrait that he framed.  It is so breath taking and so special to me.  You can see more guitar pictures on Gabe's blog. Also,  a picture of all my kids from Gabe & Jill's trip to NYC to see Britney and Adam.  So love this shot of all of them.       Miss you Britney & Adam, wish you guys where here. We cant wait to come see you in May.

 

 

Morgan had fun leaving cookies out for Santa for the very 1st time.   She was so funny coming out of bed half a sleep and going straight to the cookies to see if they where gone.   These moments PRICELESS!   

Relaxing and spending time with family is this best part this Holiday Season.  

               

    

                 

       

I have to end my post on another special gift.     My dad is one of the most talented people I know.  He grew up drawing from a very young age, and worked in illustration/advertisement for years.    He is retired now and anything he handcrafts is always the best of perfection!    He designed and build these car's and was a special surprise to Frank and Gabe.   Both my older kids have a little of their grandfother, and so thankful for that!      

 

Bye Bye Zart

We had a great time with Zart this year!    It was our first time having a "Elf on the Shelf".   It was also  Zart's first year helping Santa so during the day on Christmas Eve we caught him studying up on the big night.   Before he left for the night he agreed to a portrait.    We plan on framing the 1st picture to put in Morgan's room to remind her of Zart's visit until he returns next Christmas.   We are hoping it will continue to help with the potty training.  It worked wonders while zart was here.
