A Party Fit for a 5 Year Old Princess

This year Gabby designed and planned her entire birthday party. She planned the games, chose all of the decorations, and even designed and helped her (dye free) birthday cake. I must say, it was an exceptionally fun birthday because Gabby's eyes lit up as she watched her birthday come together. She even insisted on where her birthday signs be hung. The whole process was adorable and I must say she is quite the party decorator!

We had an early birthday celebration with Nanny and Corbin, but she surprised us by supplying these beautiful princess cookies for the party! All of the girls loved them. They were quite impressive!

Gabby chose and placed the cake toppers. It was a pink ombre cake on the inside (but you could hardly tell). There were only about 3 slices left so I guess it was tasty even though it may have been a little lopsided.

Grandma supplied the birthday favors, which included this bag, a crown, and a zipper pull. Gabby insisted she needed a bag as well.

The day of the party it was quite rainy, but that didn't stop Papa from helping the flamingos fly in again to surprise Gabby and her guests.

Daddy made an Olaf box to shoot a bow and arrow like Merdia from Brave and also to throw snowballs in.

Gabby insisted on this pose and said she was running away from Anna so she didn't freeze her. She couldn't get too close.

The gifts were highly interesting for all

Listening to a Frozen story being read to the girls by the surprise....

Surprise! Elsa stopped by to greet all of the princesses!!

Gabby's BFF Abby

Elsa lead all of the friends singing "Happy Birthday!"

She really made the party magical and has an amazing voice. Ayala was probably her biggest fan!

The girls decided they had to all help Elsa carry her train, so they had an impromptu parade

Gabby insisted on a photo with her new bunny. Just look at those curls!

It was a wonderful party. We want to thank everyone for coming. Gabby and her friends seemed to enjoy the games: Little Mermaid sack races, snowball fight like Anna and Elsa (I think that was the favorite activity), shooting the bow at Olaf. It was a wonderful and memorable party!!

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious. Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us. Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time. Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us. We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house. Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle. The night of my birthday Gabby spend the night with Grandma and Papa and Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies together for the first time ever. It was a very fun weekend. T...

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M...

Pink or Blue Skittle

Okay so as requested by many, I am posting a picture of my belly. A few people told me that they needed to see my belly before guessing the sex of the baby. When Michael took this picture last night we were both convinced my belly grew from the time I woke up. Please comment whether you think it's a boy or a girl or email me and let me know what you think because I would love to make a little scrapbook page of who guessed what. We will let you know October 30th, whether or not you are correct.

It All Started with a Little Skittle...
