March 24th

Since March 24th is Edward's real birthday, he gets to have his cards and gifts from the family on this day in addition to a special snack at school. It is quite a celebration! Happy Birthday buddy!

Cards and presents on birthday morning!

Blowing out candles never gets old!!! (Until you are actually old...) :)

Edward's Birthday Party at the Fire Station!

March is another busy month starting with Mommy and Daddy's anniversary, but of course the highlight for the kiddos is another chance for a party! In honor of Edward turning 4, we headed out to the local fire station for a tour and cake, of course!

Trying on the gear...

Valentine's with Mom

Each year for Valentine's Day at the preschool, the kids get to have a special time with moms... Fortunately this year it was on two separate days so Nora and I got to go and hang with Bailey and Edward and sample their goodies!

February 9th

After a busy party weekend, Bailey's actual birthday arrived. Here she is opening her presents and then as a special treat we went to American Girl Boutique and Bistro for dinner.

Hooray - a new American Girl doll from Mommy and Daddy!

Beautiful dress from Grandma to put up for later...

American Girl gift certificates to buy some clothes and accessories for the new baby doll that Bailey named "China"

At AG, you get to have dinner with your doll. They gave Edward a loaner boy doll so he could be a part of the fun too.

Bailey is 5!!!

Bailey enjoyed a fun morning of painting pottery with her friends (and Edward!) with a Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday cake.

Happy 5th Birthday Bailey!

Make a wish!

After the kids all painted their pieces, Bailey got to put her handprint on their birthday "wall of fame."

Bailey painted the beautiful butterfly and Edward painted the pirate parrot.

The first of Bailey's celebrations!

We had a family birthday party for Bailey where Rai-Rai, Mimi, Pop, Pace, Jamie and Camden all came up to visit. Here are a couple of pictures from the weekend.

Bailey enjoyed her giant cupcake!

The kids and the Moose

Bailey and Edward made the Moose at Build-A-Bear workshop before the baby was born as a gift for him/her. They wanted to get a picture of Nora with Marty Moose, which by the way, also lights up and plays two different songs. Awesome!
