Heidi's 5th Birthday Party 12-13-11

These are the mini cupcakes Heidi helped make to take to her preschool class to celebrate her birthday. She wanted colored icing, but with all the colors mixed together, that she kept adding, the color ended up a funny grey color. But she loved it. She chose and placed all the cupcake toothpicks. She loved taking them to share with her friends at school.


When I asked Heidi what she wanted to do for her party, what she wanted her theme to be, she replied, "a pajama party." So that's what we did. All the kids came in pajamas, they decorated pillow cases, we built a fort, did face painting, and let them run around outside. Then we opened gifts and had rainbow sherbet ice cream on colored cones, all picked out by Heidi.









All the guests took home a tooth brush and tooth paste, a eye mask to sleep with at night, and their own pillow case with their own design on them.
The party got a little crazy at one point, since the face painter I hired didn't show up, but all in all it worked out and it is over and done with now. YES!

Modesty and Values! Pass it on!!!

Trick or Treating 2011!

Last year, Ryan did a Halloween "Jib Jab" video of our family. We couldn't find it online, so he made a new one. He asked me to paint mummy faces on the girls so he could take a picture from his office desk top and use those pictures for this years video. Here they are, goolish looks and all.



We carved small pumpkins this year! Can you guess which one is Heidi's?

Ward Halloween Party 2011

Naomi was a black widow. Heidi was Repunzel, of course. Audrey was the lady bug Naomi and Heidi both were when they were babies.



Ryan kept teasing Audrey with the goblins on the blow up haunted house. She did not like it.
Like I've said before, Heidi will wait forever to get her face painted.


And for some odd reason, Heidi attached herself to "Red fish, Blue fish," a new couple in our ward.






Halloween Cookie Decorating Party!

Naomi asked if we could decorate cookie with some friends from school. So she made her own save the date invitations, gave them to her friends, then later made another invitation with the date, time and place. She took the initiative to tell her friends, but only three came, which was fine with me. They decorated cookies then ran around and played. Short, sweet, then DONE!







Disneyland with the Rich Family, Oct 19th, 2011














Wow, I don't even want to get into the wait to see Repunzel. Let's just say a few moms have had better moments other than the rush to cut in line. It was a WAIT, but Heidi has waited a few trips to Disney to get to see Repunzel.

She looked cute and the wait was well worth it when Naomi, Heidi and Gabriella walked in and Repunzel and Flin Rider were waiting with open arms.

She gathered them and did "ring around the rosy..."
Posed for a picture...
Then had a group hug.
