Dance time

Bailey and Lilly and their friend Matthew had a great time dancing to a game on the Wii.

They were so cute. They did this for over an hour.

Lauren's Birthday

For Lauren's 7th Birthday she had some of her friends come over for a 'Make your own pizza party'. At the party I made a little sweet shop table so the girls could fill their candy bags with all sorts of treats. They loved the treats, but also had a great time making their own small pizzas.

Look how grown up she's looking!

We love you Lauren! Happy Birthday!

more Christmas 2011

We first went to Levert, MA to visit Granpa King, the Downey family, and Grandma Muriel and Omar. We had a wonderful dinner there with all of them and had a good time with the Downey cousins.

Then we went to stay at my parent's home for Christmas. We had fun visiting with cousins and Aunties and Uncles. We missed Amy and her family but had a great time Skyping with them.

Trisha with new baby Elise Ruby- what a beauty!

Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas season. Before we left for my parent's house we hosted our annual neighborhood Christmas party. We also had our girls open a couple of gifts that we didn't want to pack with us in the car. After bath night (hence all the wet heads in this picture) they all had fun opening up this new doll bunk bed that I had found at an antique store. I then gave it a pop of color by spray painting it a bright pink. There were many squeals of delight!

Here are some pictures of what our home looked like for Chirstmas-

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Steve did yet another great job on a project- framing our bathroom mirrors.

We have a standard contractor-grade mirror, but we were ready for an updated look. We did some research and found on this blog a good tutorial, but there are many good ones out there.

Steve removed the bar light and did some sheet rock repair. Then he added new sconces. We also painted the whole bathroom.

So here is the before:

and this is how it looks now:

Next up- new faucets.
