Back Track!!!

With all the hustle and bustle in December (no excuse)... I can't believe I forgot to post pictures from Clara's birthday!

 Happy Birthday to the crazy haired kiddo!!!  Talk about some serious bed head!!!

 Whoaaa... Lots of balloons to wake up to ;-)

 And now we wait for our guests to arrive...

More family!!!

 And the best part... THE CAKE!!!

 Even Natalie thinks so....

 And we even got a special visit from a couple of Clara's favorite little girlies.... Emma....

 Ava....

 And Mac!  They were all very excited to be princesses for a day :-)

 Lots of fun with a some seriously silly girls...!

 I can't believe she's 4... But she's itching to be 5!  She asks me at least once a week, "when am I gonna be 5 Mom?"... I wish she would stay this little forever...Well maybe not forever, but we sure will enjoy her while she is!!!

Lots and Lots of Love....

Happy Valentine's Day!  Here are our little loves....

Such pretty blue eyes... that Pippy...

 And such a sweet little smile from Natalie..

 Daddy was away for the evening, so us girls made some yummy waffles!  And who couldn't resist a beater???  Please note... What this little character has decided she'll use for her stepping stool... There is just no stopping her!

Oh look... Clara finished hers and has her tongue out ready to attack Natalies...!

 Mad face... and smiley face....

 My little Nut head... She loves her some good nuts :-)

 And... My artist... You wouldn't believe the hours, yes hours, this child spends coloring and cutting...!

 Cheese...Cheese... and more Cheese... She can't help but make the face when she see's the camera!

 And some rolls for the birds!  One of her favorite things to do with Papa is look at the birds... and now feeding them!

 Mr. Crow was actually chatting at us while she was tossing them out in the lawn...

 "eat birdie"

 Showing the bird where the good stuff is ;-)

 Happy Valentine's day!  Clara woke up this morning anxious to see her Valentine :-)  She told me I was sure taking a long time, as she laid up in her bed waiting for me to put it together...

 And Daddy suprised the girls with some balloons, candy and a very sweet card!  What a Daddy!!!

"Emma, Em's"

 "ohhh, crayons for me and Daddy!"

 And a little festive breakfast....

 Yan Yan... or ... Yum, yum!!!

We sure did miss you today Daddy...!
