Happy New Year!

Happy birthday, Daddy A!

While we were out Christmas shopping, C saw some Mickey Mouse cupcake liners and decorations, and he asked me to buy them so we could make cupcakes for Daddy A's birthday.  I thought it was such a sweet idea, so of course I did.  The boys were so excited to help me make these treats for Daddy A's special day.  {They did most of the decorating, and I handled the parts that involved a hot oven.}

{Feel free to notice part three of "a boy and his bow tie" in this photo.}

Daddy A is a loving husband and father, and we're so fortunate to have him!

Happy birthday, Daddy A!

Right after Christmas, P started asking to wear bow ties most days.  Now, I'm totally cool with that, although I thought it was curious.  {It turns out I have an episode of Ninjago to thank.}  We went to lunch during Christmas break, and this is the outfit P chose.  I should note that this was not a particularly "fancy" restaurant.

{What you can't see in this photo is that he's wearing red sweatpants with the button down shirt and bow tie.  Sigh.  Oh well, the tie is a step in the right direction.}

Hanging out with family, pjs til noon, science experiments, and dress up.  Yup, that's pretty much how we roll on a "free day" around here.
