Spaahhhhhhh Birthday Party

Here is a picture of my amazing oldest daughter with her two best girlfriends at her spa birthday party. On the way to the spa the girls were talking about how they are soul sisters. I asked them what a soul sister is and my daughter replied that soul sisters are friends who are so close that they love each other like sisters do and they have so much in common that they know all about each other. The whole conversation was adorable. They had so much fun together. They really are little soul sisters.

After their spa treatments they each got a little treat bag with candy jewelry and a nail polish.
The birthday girl got a crown.

Sweet!

While they had hand and foot and face massages and a pedicure. While they were relaxing and getting their toes painted they all clasped hands. They were so quiet and relaxed. They listened to the nature sounds in silence holding hands. I have never had a calmer birthday party yet. We went to the Olive Garden for lunch after the spa and the girls had a great time opening presents and talking. What a great little party! My daughter turns 8 on Thursday.
Happy Birthday!

Twins

My daughter wanted to dress as twins. Here we are wearing our white sweaters and jeans ready to go out on the town together.

Fun With Sparklers! Happy New Year!

It sounds silly but one of my New Years Resolutions is to have more fun when I get my picture taken. Most of the time I get all nervous and end up with my eyes half shut or something. So, I decided that this year I'm going to ham it up as much as possible whenever I'm getting my picture taken. I don't have to worry too much because I'm usually behind the camera :) Here are the first pictures of me celebrating the New Year! How am I doing so far?
