Thankful

November 21, 2014 By Cari@MakingOurMemories 1 Comment

As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, Big Sister’s school celebrated with a Thanksgiving Show. The kids sang a few songs for the parents and grandparents and enjoyed a feast afterwards (they made some of the food)!! Still on maternity leave, I was able to attend!!

Big Sister’s class dressed as pilgrims for the show. The teachers said she was front and center since “she actually sings”.

Little Sister was also in attendance but (thankfully) slept thru the whole thing!

Big Sister adores her teacher!! I was especially thankful that this dress fit her for the third year in a row:)

Sisters

These two sisters – or two sasters – really enjoy being around each other. Little Sister always gives her biggest smiles when Big Sister is around.

Hopefully that doesn’t change with time:)

Wordless Wednesday – Trophy Day

We started off this soccer season on a VERY hot day and ended on a cold one…go figure!

Christening

This past weekend, we celebrated Little Sister’s Christening.

It was a beautiful day!

Lots of our family and friends were there to help us celebrate! We are so thankful they were able to be there!

Since I am still on maternity leave I (with some help from my family) was able to make a few things for the party.

Guests came in and were asked to find their names (along with table assignments) – the placecards were little hearts tied to chocolate crosses (made by my mom).

My mom also made the flower centerpieces that were at each table.

As a favor for each guest, I ordered custom tags and stickers from a seller on Etsy and my mother-in-law helped me put the little bags together. EACH kiss had a sticker on the bottom…:)

I wanted to be sure all the littles that joined us were not bored! We set up a special table for them with crayons, coloring books, notepads, puzzles, stickers, etc. It helped keep Big Sister busy too!

Lastly, my dad baked the cake and I decorated it. I loved how it turned out!!

To all who came out to celebrate with us and helped me prepare – THANK YOU!!!!

Two Months

November 14, 2014 By Cari@MakingOurMemories 1 Comment

On Wednesday, Little Sister was Two Months old!

I don’t know where the time goes! It is hard to believe we met this princess only two months ago!

Unfortunately all four of us have been under the weather this week, so we didn’t do much to celebrate this milestone on Wednesday.

Little Sister has been SUCH a good baby! She sleeps about 10 hours at night at this point – which is amazing (Big Sister is NOT a good sleeper, still to this day)! Her height and weight are right on track and she is more and more alert everyday. She loves to smile – especially at her Big Sister. With the cold weather now, we don’t get to go for our walks as much – but still enjoy going shopping and playing with Big Sister after she gets out of school. This past weekend Little Sister was Baptized; it was a beautiful day – will have some pictures soon!
