Celebrating Dad's Birthday

 Serena always willing to help open presents.

Viewing for Grandpa Faye Dearden

During the viewing we had the children play in a side room.  Towards the end we put the kids in pjs (Serena pulling the cart.)

Fashion Show!

One of the kids favorite games is "Fashion Show." They dress up, come down and model and then want prizes. The first time that we did this Carter learned a valuable lesson. We had prizes for everyone, Ring Pops, but we started with saying that Julie won for best use of satin. Carter flipped out and started crying because he wanted to win. He had to cool down in his room and now when we give out prizes he has learned that you don't have to be announced first to still get an award.

Superman's belt is very beautiful!

Imaginary Play!

I always think it is so funny when the kids pretend that they are dogs or tigers, snakes or giraffes or whatever is their current favorite animal.

I dress myself!

We started the day with clothing on correctly, but after using the bathroom Serena put her pants on in this stylish way!

Cute Hair!

I taught the preschool class today and Jamie styled the girls hair while they were playing with them. It is so cute!!

I have decided it is basically impossible to get a picture of the girls both looking at me! These darling dresses are passed down from a friend that has two girls. I love the hats, but they don't last long on their heads!
