While I took Paige and her friends to the dance party last night Megan and Jasper had their own party. Megan ate pizza with her dad then they had "Snow Ball" cotton candy while they watched the new "Phineas and Ferb Christmas Special" on the Disney channel.

I snapped this picture of Paige before we went to the "Eagles night out dance party" at her school. We picked up her friend Brooke on the way there. I had volunteered to chaperone so I was able to get the girls in for free. Sydney met then their after her basketball game and then shed came home with us and spent the night. They all had a fun time, dancing, eating ice cream sundaes and talking and laughing.

Yesterday Megan brought home this colorful Natasha Wescoat inspired painting. I love how colorful and fun it is. To learn more about the artist that inspired this work go here: http://www.natashawescoat.com

Yesterday was Bud's birthday!

Deb was in Chicago for work. So on our way to tap dance classes we stopped by to take Bud a card and cupcakes that we made for him. I also got him a 6 pack of Winter Celebration Ale, because you need to celebrate your birthday!

Don't you just love this family portrait of Bud, Joe Boxer and Deb? They had then taken a few months ago by the same photographer that did their wedding pictures. This is a wrapped canvas and it looks very much like a painting. I LOVE IT! I especially love how it is taken from Joe's perspective.

She's super, super, she's super duper!


Super Girl!

He' 3 today...so here are three cute pictures of Jake to celebrate! I watched Evan for a few hours today while Jake went to breakfast with his mom and dad then to Chuck E. Cheese to play.

Paige and Megan in their festive frocks!

I took some cute pictures of the girls before we headed out the door to Paige's clarinet concert at Expresso Yourself Cafe tonight.

Jake turns 3 on Monday!

He had his birthday party earlier today so after dinner the girls and I went over to take him a gift. We got him a set of building blocks, they don't take batteries only imagination! We also got him 3 Hot Wheel cars to go with them.

Megan jumping for joy!

She was jumping up and I was trying to take her picture with her feet off the ground...this was the last and best shot.

Megan's dance class fashions.

This is what Megan wore to ballet. I remember wearing legwarmers when I was in 8th or 9th grade, but I was not a ballet dancer. I was wearing them with jeans and sneakers to a San Francisco 49er's game with my best friend Lisa. She was wearing them too. I'm sure we looked like the biggest dorks, but we thought we were so cool. I hope that when Megan looks back at this picture she will see how darn cute she looks in her zebra print legwarmers that she bought with a gift card that she got for her birthday. I just hope she never says "Mom how did you let me go out of the house like that!?". I'll say "it was the style back then and you looked adorable!".

This is what she changed into for jazz. She could wear the same outfit from ballet to jazz but she hates tights.
