Happy birthday Sophia - 5!

Jurnee's piano recital in mid December...Whew I am behind!

Sophia want's a carrot nose like a snowman!

Sophia with Grandma Ethel, and Grandpa Heavy. They braved the snowy weather for that blessed little girl!

Sisters! Jurnee was such a great helper to Sophia on her birthday! They are great friends!

Birthday party and curtains

Sophia hauled a root beer around all day on Sunday in anticipation of her birthday party! Once she finally got to open it, she made it last all day! She had a great time and thinks 4 is pretty big stuff!

Finally got a photo of the curtains in Jurnee's room. She is so happy to have them up.

On Sophia's "real" birthday, we had a birthday pie, she made a wish and blew out the candles, she is now sleeping in her own bed too! Woo hoo!!!! So far 4 has been the magical age for her!

I love Grannys

Yesterday I found one of the best blogs I have seen in awhile, and so inspiring. One Loop Short got me going on the hexagons. I am using cotton yarn and intend this afghan to be Sophia's sometime.

Well, with my new bling stash from the last post I better show what I have been up to, and well this one's a gift, for a dear friend who shares a birthday with my dear Sophia-Today!!!!

Sophia showing off her new wares from Aunt Janell for her birthday! Happy 4 year old birthday to Sophia! She says she will now sleep in her own bed from now on, and for sure no more diapers to bed, she is "a really big girl now!"

Cold Day like snow day...but different...

So, In Wisconsin when it is -18 degrees without "windchill factor" there is no school. So we had pancakes and now the day is ahead of us. At least the sun is shining, the kitchen is sunny and feels unusually warm, but it will only last an hour or so then the sun will move on. But nonetheless, it is somewhat enjoyable.

Sophia's birthday came and went in a flash...we were all sick with a nasty cold, so we changed the party to next Sunday. She did get a donut with a candle and a present from Jurnee.. Also Aunt Janell sent this cute t-shirt from Etsy of course...man am I glad I introduced her to that place! Anyway, the shirt was crafted by RockaBye Retro. We love it, especially Sophia.

Craft projects and a new header coming soon!
