Fork

Quinn has been such a good eater.  She likes to eat on her own.  We have been giving her a spoon for awhile, she uses it mostly as a toy.  But lately she has been using a fork.  I still put the food on for her and then she usually takes it off and then puts the food in her mouth with her fingers.  I would say we are about 50/50 - she takes the food off the fork using her mouth and then the other half she takes it off and uses her fingers.

Elsa the Pumpkin

Well Daddy did it again this year - he carved Sage an amazing pumpkin.  Last year it was Sofia the First - this year it was Elsa.  Of course!

Quinn's Baptism

We had Quinn's Baptism the same weekend as Sage's birthday party.  It was a fun weekend of family, friends and celebrations!  Quinn did great during her baptism.  She was pretty quiet throughout the service and didn't seem to mind the water on her forehead.  The pastor walked her around the sanctuary after the baptism and she seemed ok with that!  She sat down with me and promptly fell asleep.  It was right during the time that she normally naps and she was out!

 

 

Facepainting!

The kids were able to get their face painted at Sage's birthday party.  The girls were all about it, but the boys had to be persuaded.  Case and Ty were the only two boys that got their faces painted and Andrew got a tattoo!

Elsa!

Elsa came to Sage's birthday party and put on a show!  The girls all loved it and so did a few of the boys.  She told a story and sang songs.  Then while they the kids were waiting to get their faces painted Elsa helped keep them entertained.  She had a special song she sang to Sage when we cut the cake and helped us sing Happy Birthday.  She even had a special goodbye song for Sage.  It was a really fun party and having Elsa there made it such a special day!

Dancing with the girls!

Lucas liked Queen Elsa!

Elsa was teaching the girls how to be a Queen!

 

Elsa even got Case to dance!

Helping keep the kids entertained was a full-time
 job even for the Queen!

The Queen and my two princesses!

Frozen Birthday Party!

Sage loves the movie Frozen and she chose that for the theme for her 5th birthday party!  Looking over the pictures from the party I can tell that she had a great time.  I hope everybody else did too!  Queen Elsa even made an appearance at the party.  

Sage and her birthday banner from Nana!  We love it!

 A pretty decent family picture!

 The sweets!

Mail!

Quinn has had a rough time with teething.  She has been pretty unhappy these last few weeks. She has been loving the mail that goes with her crawl through house.  She will crawl all over the house with a piece of mail in her mouth.  She goes so quick this is the best I took - a little blurry!

Dressing up

Sage still loves to dress up and when my parents were here a few weeks ago she got a new scarf and some new pom-poms.  She had to try them out immediately - and of course they had to match her Snow White dress!
