Matchy-Match

The little girls
The big girls

Group photo!


The Guess girls, Addison and Reagan came over last Thursday to play. All four girls were dressed in coordinating outfits. The big girls were so excited! We had to snap some pictures of course!! Both Kim and I are having our third girls in March. Can you imagine how cute that will be when all six are matching!!

The Nursery is DONE!! WHEW!!

So I love decorating nurseries. I love picking it all out, ordering the furniture and setting it up. This baby has the same furniture as her sisters, just in espresso. The crib converts into a full sized bed and the changing table is just a dresser, so each girl has her own furniture that she will keep for quite some time. New Baby's room was done with love, just as the others. Papa and Daddy painted it (two shades of purple...not sure if the pictures are giving it justice) , while Gram and Aunt Joyce did the border. I included my own little artwork above her crib. All that is missing is her name in wooden letters, which will hang just above the changing table. Those will be ordered in a couple of weeks!!

Baby Showers!

Over the last week, I gathered with friends for a few little fun showers! I have had a great time spending time with such great gals that I have in my life. I am very lucky!!

This past Sunday, the my dear friends from college hosted a baby brunch. The food was great and the company even better...as always!! It is hard to believe I have known these girls for fifteen years!

The Wednesday dinner group hosted a Paint-a-Pig party for both Lyndi and I...Lyndi is expecting her second daughter this May. Everyone contributed their artistic abilities to a piggy bank for each baby. After, we, well some, had a drink at Landsdown.

My UMW Circle group did a suprise baby shower last Tuesday at our meeting. They each gave me a card that stated "Open When" and then filled in when I should open it. I am looking forward to reading each card when the time is right!

Happy Valentine's Day!




On Friday, Clara had a Valentine Day Celebration at school. The parents were invited to come. It was so fun to see how she is in the classroom! They decorated a cookies, did a craft and then exchanged Valentines (they decorated their own boxes!) Clara was very excited! She had written each and every friend's name and signed all of the cards. Such a big girl! For Valentine's Day, we celebrated as a family. We exchanged cards and gifts for the girls and then had heart shaped pizza for dinner and some yummy frosted heart shaped cookies!






Valentine's Day Party!







Addison and Reagan Guess hosted a very fun party (planned by their mom, Kim) for the kids. They made Valentine Bags, ate lunch (heart shaped PJ&J), had a dance party, decorated cookies and exchanged Valentines! Lots of fun!!



"The Look"

Nora has perfected "The Look" She gives it to just about anybody and everybody! She can really work those brows!

Two Peas in a Pod!

Clara and Nora are too little peas in a pod! Clara LOVES to match her little sister. Each night, she wants to wear matching jammies and each day she wants to wear coordinating clothes (thank goodness for Gymboree!!) They also have fun dressing up in princess clothes together (and with Papa!), playing in the sink together, and playing with Daddy! Won't it be so much fun when the third little pea arrives!!!
















Tea at the Brown Palace!

An annual tradition!! Ashley, me, AJ, Jamie, Jill, Eva and Laura all had a great afternoon at the Brown Palace at the end of January!
