Valentine wreath




I saw this idea on a blog and was so excited to make it. I cut squares of felt 4 by 4 inches and cut a spiral in each square. Then I just rolled them up making little roses. It does take quite a bit of time because you need so many flowers. I used about 10 sheets of each color.

Minion late night









I really wanted to make these minion cupcakes that I saw on confessionsofacookbookqueen blog.
I decided I need to throw a party and because the next kids birthday is in May I decided that we could have a late night and told Gavin to tell me who he wanted to come. Then Ethan felt bad so I let him invite some friends and pretty soon we had 14 boys. They watched Despicable Me and had pop corn, m&m's, cupcakes, and fruit snacks. If you haven't seen that movie, you should, it is so funny and cute. They had a great time and loved the cupcakes. Since Abigale and Dawson and so young they had a late night in my room watching Mickey Mouse and stayed up until 8:45. It was cute because they thought they were so big.

Double french braid



I have had a lot of people ask me about some of Abigale's hairstyles so I thought I should start posting some. I like this hairstyle because it looks great but is quite easy if you know how to french braid. Just do one french braid across the front of head and another one the other direction leaving some hair in the back to pull into the pigtails. once the braids are done part the rest of the hair in the back and put the braids into pigtails. Super cute!

curlers and earrings



I put curlers in Abigale's hair for the first time the other night and it was so cute. She was excited to see what her hair would look like in the morning! She also got some cute new earrings. Her ears were getting infected with her other earrings so I had to fork over the big bucks and buy her some gold ones. Totally worth it because three days later they were better! What a silly girl.
