Welcome to Bistro Staten for Grace's 8th Birthday

 We celebrated Grace's birthday with a cooking party.  I embroidered all the kids and adult helpers aprons.

The kids made their own pizzas.

While the pizzas cooked the kids made a take home cooking activity.  They made an M&M cookie mix in a jar.

Then they ate their pizzas, Grace opened her presents.  After that they decorated their own cupcakes to eat.  Then had a little bit of time left to play and have some dance contestes (thanks Sara and Julie).

Happy 8th Birthday Grace

It's Grace 8th birthday and we celebrated with dinner at the restaurant of her choice. This year she got to bring her best friend Kyleigh with her. Then we headed back home where we had cake and she opened a few presents. Ashley and I bought her a desk for her room a couple of weeks before her actual special day for her.

First Snow of 2011

We had our first snow of the year.  I think this is going to become a yearly event for us here in Texas.  We ventured to the backyard.

then down to the park,

the girls got cold so we went home for hot chocolate.

And after we were warmed up headed back outside to build miniature snowmen.
