November 12, 2013: Nadia's 3rd Birthday - Part 2

Messy hair girl getting her birthday present right away in the morning.

I'm not a huge fan of barbies but for a bike I gave in. Thank you Craig's List!!!

Spruced up on time for her little party.

Auntie Michelle, Madilyn and Dylan.

A tea set !!!

I had the kids decorate their own cupcakes as something fun to do and they loved it!!!

Later, Grandma and Grandpa B. came over with their gift and well wishes.

I love the faces kids make when they are trying to open things.

It's an Anne of Green Gables doll!!!

Madilyn in her Sunday best. She started walking around 9 months - the time of Nadia's birthday.

Just falling forward for a good face plant.

This boy loves the camara and always has a friendly smile if you are shooting.

His picture ends up in the school paper almost every week with his arm around a different friend each time. Who can blame them with that smile?

What a guy!!

Visits with Grandma and Grandpa Buma AND Nadia's Birthday Part One

Grandma Buma and Madilyn

One excited girl.

Blowing out her candle.

Pretty "Grandma Dress" for church.

Grandma and Nadia - can you tell she couldn't stand still?

Matthew gave Nadia some skates he found at school in the second hand box.

How thoughtful!!!

More to come....

Ethan's Birthday Party

Ethan had some friends over for his birthday. I made him an ice cream cake.

For some reason it flopped...can you believe I flopped an easy ice cream cake?

I had a really good laugh because I didn't say anything to the boys but they had lots of interesting comments about it!!! The one boy says "Don't worry Mrs. Faber, my Mom always messes up the cake!!"

"This tastes good even though it's all messed up!"

One boy didn't even eat it....I'm okay with that. I agree that it didn't look too appetizing.

Isn't it cute how Brandon wanted to hold Madilyn?

And he did such a good job too!!!

You can see my latest quilting project in the background. It's for a friend who moved away....6 months ago.

I'm free motion quilting it and I've been practicing and studying the whole process so I can do the other 2/3s of it properly. Now for the confidence to just do it!!!
