Anna Kate’s Party!

We celebrated Anna Kate with a Squishmallow party!
This should not be the first picture, but I don’t know how to fix that…so here’s Lydia! Haha
There’s the birthday girl!
She received just a few (too many) squishmallows! She was pleased as punch!

Cute squishmallow paper by Aunt Terry.
The girls (and Steven) painted squishmallows and did such a good job!



Anna Kate’s new friend from school is so sweet!
These two enjoyed the punch!



The only squishmallow decoration I bought was these cupcake toppers, and I accidentally left them at home! Joel saved the day and went back home for them. 




The Grandmas helped the little artists. 



We had such a good time!!!

Cold Days!


We had two days off of school because of very cold weather! That was a very happy surprise!
We went to Joel’s parents’ house for one night. It was Lori’s birthday! She made my kids scarves for Christmas, and we just got around to taking a picture. 
On Tuesday we went to see Mufasa in Cleveland with my parents and some Shibs. 
And we enjoyed a delicious Lupi’s lunch beforehand. 
The girls and I have been preparing for Anna Kate’s party that’s coming up on Saturday. Fun!
A cousin sleepover also took place. The boys even babysat so Joel and I could go on a date!
More party prep. We tried making easels…I’m afraid they might just be decorative easels. Oh well! They’ll be cute, and that’s all that matters. Haha!
So, as you can see, we enjoyed our five day weekend to the max!
