Jacqueline's 4th Bday--School Celebration & Merida Theme Bday Party

 I

We celebrate J's bday at school with cupcakes. She loved wearing the special bday hat and been sung to by her classmates.

She was all smiles as her teacher made her bday hat

She loves Ms. Leslie and Ms. Stephanie

Jacqueline favorite princess is Merida from the movie Brave. We had a Brave party for her since she loves it so much.  Above is the table with cupcakes and juice boxes that I wrapped around with blue duck tape and put a picture of Merida on it



I asked Jacqueline what kind of food she wanted for her party and she said without hesitation...chips and cheese, hummus, and cup cakes!  (some of her fav food)



Personalized water bottles and a few books for decoration



Wow!!! A real princess!!!

All the little girls were enchanted when Merida walked in the house. They were not expecting a visit from a REAL princess.  

She played the music from the Brave soundtrack while she painted the their litte faces



Merida also performed some magic tricks while the tiny princesses munched on their food

Some grown ups were fascinated with Merida too . ha!





My sweet little creature is growning up so fast. It had been 4 years since she was born and made me a mother. I love her so much and I treasure my time with her. She is all girly. She loves to play dress up and loves to wear dresses and pink. But she also loves running, climbing, playing outside and pretend she is in a forrest. Her favorites playmates at school are always boys. I think bc theyare able to  keep up with her! She is so active and enjoy playing with both girls and boys. She gets along with everyone. She is sweet and kind. She is a smile that melts my heart. My desire is for her to grow to love the Lord and follow Him and to put Him first always, to obey Him and one day accept Him as her Savior.

Jacqueline, Dada and I love you so much!!!!  There is nothing you can ever do to change that. We're proud of who you are. God had made you beautiful inside and out.

Love,

Mamae

1st Day of Pre-School

School started. Vivian did great on her 1st day of pre-school.  Jacqueline, as always, walked in the classroom and never looked back. She is so independent and fearless and never meets a stranger.

Jacqueline was the 2nd oldest of her clasroom and most of the kids were 5-7 months younger, so I put her in the waiting list to get her changed to a different class few weeks ago. By the first day, I was wondering if they would be able to switch her. The girls went to school on Tuesday and that afternoon I got a call from school saying that she was going to be able to be moved to the other classroom. I was thrilled! Now she is in a new class (MWF) and  in her new class there are a set of twin girls that were in her class last year. Also, one of my friend's daugther is in her class as well. In Vivian's class, there are a little girl that is the daughter of our old Lifegroup leaders.  

I LOVE this picture of Vivian. It really shows her  vivacious personality

 

 



 



 

Jacqueline's teacher (well, no longer, since she moved to a diff. classroom)

Ready to walk into her classroom!

 



 

 

There were lots of crying, but not from my big girl! She did great!

 

I'm excited for my Monday and Wed. mornings kid free! I'm planning to get a lot done around the house and it will be much easier to go grocery shopping and run errands w/o kids. 

Life is Messy!

 

Life is definetely messy with my little creatures!

Carolina Beach

We took a weekend trip to Carolina Beach and stayed at my brother's house. They were in Ashville celebrating their 15th year anniversary and let us use their house for the weekend.

The girls had a blast at the amusement park. They were all smiles. Jacqueline is fearless is loved all the fast rides. Vivian, who is usually a bit more cautious, was more adventurous and had a great time on the rides as well

Pretty Girl!

 

 

To have a little peace to finish eating our pizza, I let Vivian use my iphone to watch brazilian cartoons. It worked like a charm!
