Preschool

 Preschool ended last week.  
Mckinlay had a great year and loved and looked forward to every school day.
I can't believe how much she'd grown up since this picture was taken!

Here are some of Mckinlay's favorite memories from the year, in her own words:
 "This is a picture of me and Mishayla wearing our best friends necklaces.  And I can't believe Eliza broke my necklace and I didn't even want her to!  We love each other, and friends love friends for ever and ever."

 "This is hat day.  We got to choose hats and I brought my very own hat and the princess one was the one that I was going to wear, but Mishayla put it on already, so I wore a witch hat.  Happy witch day!"

"We're riding on the Polar Express.  We ring the bells when were going and that's all.  We just need to ring the bells when the Polar Express goes and they ring the bells in the music and we repeat when they ring the bell."

 "We're making some Stone Soup.  We glued the thing on, then we glued the fruit on, then we colored it."

"This is me at David's birthday party.  I'm in that little thing and I'm so cute!"

The last day of preschool they had an end of preschool/David's birthday party with cake, squirt guns and a bounce house.  A great way to end preschool with a bang!
 Here she is with Miss Bridi and her class.  

We're so sad preschool is over!  It's been a lot of fun.  Mckinlay has learned a lot and is even starting to read a little.  Thanks Miss. Bridi for a great year!  We're gonna miss you lots and lots.

A very merry un-birthday!

 Last night we had a little 1/2 birthday celebration.   
Baby girl's growing up.
Liza is our little energetic, smiley, happy, blue eyed girl.  She never stops moving, unless you ask her for a snuggle, which she is always happy to pause and oblige.   

We love this girl!! 
and we love that she is now old enough for Nursery!  
Whoot whoot! 

I made these vanilla bean cupcakes with strawberry buttercream for the par-tay.  
Yumm yumm.

Pinkies up!

A few weeks ago we had a girly-girl tea party lunch at Remember When.  


They girls were in heaven! They loved their little tea sandwiches, petit fours and lemonade with lots and lots of sugar added.


We had lots of Pinkies up, "cheers" and clinking of tea cups.  


 Later that night, thanks to Happy Jo's awesome babysitting skills, the adults got to have a night out on the town.
