Princess Party

The actual day of Kandace's birthday! Michael was gone all day at work unfortunately, but we partied anyway. It began with a princess party with 2 of Kandace's little girly friends. Their moms and I have become buddies since step and it was a good excuse to get together again. I have really special memories of Kandace's first princess party at my friend Shannon's. I wanted to recreate it for these little friends and it worked out awesome. I borrowed some nice things from family and neighbors to decorate the table and we had ham n cheese sandwiches, chips, grapes and confetti cake for dessert. The girls also did craft and opened presents. It was simple but I think the girls liked it.

The girls were Ashyln Hamer & Hannity Felkins.

writing valentine's

Today we got a headstart on making Stetson's Valentine's for school. He doesn't need them til Tue but I remember the drama last year with getting them done in time so we started early this year.
Stetson gets to practice writing his name at preschool a lot so he's gotten a lot better! He loves sounding our words and writing them. I'm surprised at how his handwriting has improved. I am proud of Stetson for the things he does and enjoyed doing this with thim.

part III

This was the final event!! In the evening we had Michael's family over for lasagna, salad and garlic bread. Stetson and Kandace love playing with their cousins so its always party when everyone comes.

We are grateful for a truly wonderful family to come support our kids and make it a special day for them.

Kandace got a homemade too-too (?) from gma Dorothy (who Kandace loves, she talks about her a lot) a beautiful necklace and matching earings from Christian & Jill (guess we'll have to peirce her ears now:-)) a rag quilt & bath toy from mom & dad, playdough toys from Daniel & Kasi, a dora puzzle from Jacob and a table set & chairs plus plates, cups, etc from gma & gpa Asay!! What a haul!
