This and That

We haven't been up to much lately. Just hanging out and enjoying the weather. Below are two fairies we found playing in our back yard on Sunday :)
Said fairies were also spotted hanging in Mary Alice's birthday tent.

Morgan is also having a hard time letting go of Mardi Gras.

Matt gave Mary Alice her last official bottle Friday morning. Tear!!

Birthday Girl

Mary Alice's 1st birthday was this weekend! We woke up to a pancake breakfast and quickly transitioned to party mode. We had a great gathering with family and celebrated our sweet girl's first year of life. I am so sad my baby is growing up, but she sure is fun to watch!

This girl loves her some pancakes.

Mary Alice slept through the first hour of her party, so when she got up we got so excited and jumped straight to the cupcake. She grabbed right at it but took a while before she finally took a bite.

But it didn't take her long to figure it out!

She also had a big time opening presents. Cousin Rhodes picked out one of her favorites all by himself - a pink sock monkey!


The Elmo tent was also a big hit. With Morgan too...





Our Valentine's

The girls had a low key but sweet Valentines Day. Matt and I took lunch to Morgan's class (which she was not as impressed with as I would have hoped), and we had a low key night at home with cupcakes and lots of play.






Morgan enjoys reading to Mary Alice and showing her the pictures. Very teacher-like.

Our sweet Mary Alice is turning ONE this week! I can hardly stand it. She's getting so big and is into everything. When we get home from school every day, she stands at Morgan's table and pounds her hands until Morgan shares her goldfish. She's not walking yet, but still pulling up on everything and cruising a little bit.

Morgan decided to wake Mary Alice up by crawling in the crib with her the other day. They ended up having a pretty good time hanging out in there.
