Snow day, Grandparents, and Parties!!!

A couple of weeks ago we had a perfect little snow day! Juan got to stay home and the kids had so much fun playing in the snow! I have a picture just like this one with my sister over 20 years ago! It never snowed in San Antonio when I was a kid, so we are pretty lucky to get some snow two years in a row!

Julianna's face was looking pretty bad but she did not want to go inside!

Juan's parents were in San Antonio visiting so the kids got to play with Abuelo and Abuela for the weekend.

This is Annelise making necklaces with her Grammy. Grammy did not want to be photographed first thing in the morning! Annelise makes some pretty cute things at my Moms house.

This was a nice warm day out side where I decided to trim the dead plants in the pots out back. Annelise was awfully busy during the fourty five minutes it took me. I saw her bring stuff from the playhouse into the main house. When I get inside I see this tea party setup, and she said "oh, Mom you are just in time for the party!"

I know this picture looks scary but it has a cute story. I was clearing out winter cloths getting ready for the warmer days ahead. I found this dress my aunt made for my cousin almost 30 years ago. I asked her to try it on to see if if fits and she looked in the mirror and say "I look French." I dont knoe where she got that Idea but I busted out laughing!!!

Confessional: Annelise liked, no LOVED to drink from bottles until recently!!! She would drink two eight once bottles of milk a day, so I figured if is was the only way to get her to drink milk then it was fine with me. I stopped buying her toys when ever we went to a store and let her know that if she wanted to say "bye bye bottle" that we would return to that store and buy the toy. It never worked!!! She would drop that toys and say, "ok I will come back when I'm ready!" So when she woke up one morning two weeks ago and tells me she is ready to give up the bottle I offer her a party to celebrate!!! We had her two best friends and our neighbor Mason over for a "bye, bye bottle" party. It was lots of fun.

No party is complete without favors!

She wanted to be dressed beautiful for the Valentines day party at her school. She even slept in foam rollers!!!

Julianna got in on the party action, getting to sit with Everett.

Annelise was cookie decorating and Julianna was the quality control!

Even Everett got to get some of Annelise's creations! He mainly just ate the icing... actually, most of it was on his face!!! -so he probably didn't get that much icing, Erika!
