Happy Birthday Gigi!

Matt's mom came for dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday!  I think we may have even found a favorite for flourless cake.  Wishing Gigi a blessed birthday and year to come!

Piano

We are so glad that our favorite piano teacher is feeling better now and willing to take on new students.  ML has decided she would like to learn.  Her first lesson will be next week!

Quilting away

My mom had a wild idea to make quilts for my sweet neighbor.  We love them dearly and they were just blessed with 3 babies!  So here goes nothing!

Ice skating

I love this sweet little spot in Fort Worth.  Where else can you ice skate outside in a light jacket?  It's in the 60s today and it is an entirely different experience to ice skate when you aren't freezing!

Cotillion

Last fall I signed Anna Grace up for her first cotillion.  I can't believe the first night is already here.  She was excited to dress up and meet a few friends there.

There are 8 kids from her class participating and I know that she will have a blast!

Hand jive

Having dinner at a Mere's tonight and ML taught their daughter a new hand jive.  Love these girls giggling together.

Circuitry

ML received this amazing kit to build circuits with for Christmas this year.  She did about the first 75 in one sitting.

Starbucks date

She came with me to run an errand and we had to have a little hot chocolate :)

Cookies

Nonna always has cookies.  Today the girls were helping restock their favorites.

8.5"

And just like that there isn't enough hair to curl.  ML has been asking for a short haircut for a bit.  Today she let them cut 8.5" in the first pass.

It is pretty cute!  AG just opted for a trim!

Hair!

Anna Grace got a curling wand for Christmas.  today we all did our hair, mine included!  Matt had to work today, so he was exempt.

Spaghetti

I was making suggestions for some of the things we could have for dinner tonight.  ML didn't miss a beat, said that she wanted spaghetti and then pulled up her chair.  When I asked what the chair was for, she said she was ready to start making noodles.  I had intended to use a box, but I am never one to turn down a willing cook.  Plus, it's vacation so we don't really care if dinner is a few minutes late.
