Look what I made!

OK, so I this obsession of making things, a lot of things. I kind of get obsessed about it and won't get anything done until I have my "project" finished. Well I just would thought I would post what I did yesterday during our snow day! Ben shoveled and I created! (I defiantly got the better end of the deal!)

So I think Ben thought I was making a quilt, because when I had Abby do a fashion show (and to check if twirled good enough for her) he looked at me and said, it's cute, but it looks like a quilt wrapped around her! I think they turned just great, not "quilty" at all!

Oh, I got the idea from Moda bake shop!

Ahh, a Canadian Snow Storm!

Oh my, I thought for sure people were fooling us when they talked about all these tremendous snow storms, schools closing and being stuck in the house for days!!! Well we got one, not as bad as I thought but it definitely a good snow day!

The kids are home with school being closed and even Ben's office closed early. All of our evening festivities got canceled and it looks like we are in for a while drinking hot chocolate and getting a better appreciation for "sea effect" snow storms. We are use to "lake effect" but I am learning that the sea can do the same thing apparently!

We have well over 12 inches of snow that has come down today (can some one translate into centimeters for me please!)

Welcome winter, at last, it took until the end of January, but it came, just like they told us.

Now when does spring come......

Another Birthday! Abby turns 5!

Happy Birthday Abby!

Abby's Sweet Shoppe is open for business! The Cupcake party was a huge success! Abby invited her friends from her class and a couple of neighbors to our house to make "wonderful" cupcakes. Oh what fun!

Each child was greeted by the head chef and given an apron and ate lunch in cupcake wrappers.... after some party games, presents, we each got to decorate cupcakes to take home in to go boxes. Everyone left on a sugar high, but I think they all had a good time.

In honor of my sweet five year old's 5th birthday, here are the top 5 reasons we love Abby!

1. Her voice can melt your heart, and belongs in a cartoon! Her little high pitched voice with such adult words can put a smile on anyones face and a chuckle or two....

2. She is such a good friend. She loves and misses her friends from Utah, but has easily met some new ones here in Moncton. Friends are so important to her, and she is always found running around with one and usually is hand in hand.

3. She is an awesome big sister. Her fashion sense and ability to share is going to one day make Aubrey one happy girl. She is always playing with the baby, but not in a mothering way, just plain old playing! She is always making up names for her and we now often call Aubrey boo bear, little smooth, lulu, my little sweet and other fun names Abby comes up with!

4. She is all girl. She loves pink and enjoys making cupcakes. What's not to love about that!!! Even though she loves everything that sparkles, she can still hold her own, and is a tough little thing thanks to two big brothers!

5. Even though she is five, she is still my little girl, who (as long as she has her blanket and her thumb) will snuggle up and give me as many kisses and hugs I want. She loves continually!

Happy Birthday sweet Abby
