A Princess Tea Party

Stacie found a really good deal through Groupon to Chelsea's Tea Room in Arlington.  Scarlett was invited to join Allie, her best friend, and she got to feel like a true princess.
First, they got their nails and make up done.

Next, they got to pick out their princess dress.  Stacie and I picked out our favorite ones, but the girls had their minds set.

A little tea...

There was a princess carriage.

Such a blast.  Thanks Stacie!

My Sweet Valentines

Yaya surprised the girls with balloons on V-day.

We made these silly "I've got my eyes on you" cards.  

 Scarlett's school party.

Sisters love picking Scarlett up from school and crashing all the parties.  I love to watch Scarlett take care of them.  She shared her candy with them and even wiped Caroline's face clean.

Some other random bits and pieces.

 Caroline and Maddy playing school.  C was the teacher and was quizzing M.

Caroline: "sshh, baby is sleeping"

up to no good...

My girls can be found in front of the mirrors while out shopping.

Overheard M telling C.."no peeking, Caroline" "It's in the legos, don't look there."

"Boo"

This is the year

2012 is going to be great! More organizing, more quality time with the family, and more healthy living.

Snap shots of a recently awesome weekend.  Which included fire works, smores,  and listening to coyotes.

Can't believe the changes I'm seeing in Scarlett.  She's becoming more and more independent.  How does a 4 year old who's never slept in her own bed decide to do just that all on her own?  Maybe I'll just sneak into her bed.  =)

My sweet Caroline. That girl can snuggle! I love her laid back ways. 

Merry Moments and Bits of Our Christmas

David's point and shoot camera

We had an amazing Christmas this year.  It was magical!  Wish I had taken more pictures of the little things that made it so exciting for the girls (sprinkling reindeer food, baking cookies for santa, ect...), but it's also nice to put the camera away.

Our first Christmas celebration,

All three loved the grocery cart!

These were pretty neat.  Fun for all (not just the kiddos).

Some dancing took place at the Montoya's house.

Our second Christmas was just us Christmas morning.  I only took 1 picture!

Our 3rd Christmas celebration at Grandma Tricia's and Papa Jamie's.

No, that puppy was not a Christmas gift.  But I'd love to take her home.

Days leading to Christmas...Merry moments....
Play at Casa Manana.

Allie with Caroline

Ice cream after the play.

This was Caroline and Madeline's first gingerbread house decorating.  My first with all 3 girls.  It was quite the experience.  I'm surprise any candy made it on the house!

Scarlett's school Christmas party.  Love how she's proud of her sisters and takes care of them.

C & M playing with the class room babies. They took turns tucking them in and kissing them good night.

Finger paint from Christmas.

Looking forward to 2012!  Happy New Year!!
