Birthday photo shoot

Chris has been taking a lot of pictures this year, so we thought we could play around and take some nice pictures for Maggie's birthday invites. We will probably do something like this for the thank you notes as well, but I have really thought about that yet!

She was just sitting on the table loving it!

So cute!

Yes, another tutu!

While Natalie was here, we also started making Maggie's birthday tutu! We are having a Candyland themed birthday party for her and she asked for a tutu again! Even though it is going to be at her gymnastics place, Flying High. I don't mind though, because they are super easy to make and she looks so cute!!

The beginning of the tutu. This lid has been very helpful as well. You can easily stretch the elastic around it and it is very easy to work with.

Birthday shirt ordered on Etsy.

Natalie made a cute hair bow and very cutely styled Maggie's hair.

Just playing around!

Spring Break!

We had three different weeks of spring break this year. Hopefully by 2015 we can have all of them in common and maybe even go on vacation! The week of March 18, Natalie came to stay with us and so did the rest of the sisters and all of the cousins! It was a full house, but it is always a fun time!

Natalie's special birthday cupcake!

They love babies!

It is hard to get 6 kids 4 and under to take a great picture!

Rapunzel!

So Maggie was an adorable Rapunzel for Halloween! We had a wonderful time trick or treating with her cousin Grayson and visiting with daddy's family afterwards.

Use a roll of paper towels!

Almost done!

Catch up!!

So, yeah....
We had a good Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's day, and so on!! I'm so behind! (Again!!!)

First I wanted to show the cute Valentine's Day Card Maggie sent to her cousins, friends, and classmates. I (of course) got the idea from Pinterest, like everything, but Chris is awesome and helped me change it up a little.

Walnut room

After Thanksgiving, we went with Mag's grandma and cousin to the Walnut Room. It was beautiful, but at 10 o'clock in the morning, we could only get lunch! So, Mags had Mac & Cheese for breakfast! She was super happy :) After we ate, dropped off a letter for Santa, and shopped for a bit, we went to The Christkindlmarket and ate some yummy food and saw some really neat decorations.

Dance party

Mag's cousin is turning 4 today and he is having a dance party! I'll post some pictures later, but I wanted to post what I made for the party first. He can hang these up in his room after the party!
