Jade's Purple Party

Our home was drenched in Purple, just as Jade would have wanted! It was a Happy Birthday!

We also celebrated my beautiful mom's birthday too, since it was just three days after Jade's.

Don't worry, she was only dipping her Laffy Taffy into the frosting and eating it like that! She's my sugar girl.

Opening all her Purple Presents. I kept asking her what she wanted for her presents and she said over and over again that she just wanted "purple presents", that was her only requirement!

A Small Glimpse into our Valentine's Day

Heart Pancakes for Breakfast, Of Course!

I'm so lucky that I have so many sweet Valentines!

It was sweet, Mitch just showed up with these little valentines for the kids. I had no idea. It seems like usually I just handle things like that, and I did too, but I thought this was really thoughtful of him, "Be Mine Jade"...so cute!

We did so much more and then Mitch and I went out together, but I didn't bring the camera! I need one more arm to be able to bring that camera around!

In December...Micah turned 5!

Asher was due on Micah's birthday on December 10th, instead he was born on November 22nd, so Micah still has his birthday all to himself! We played and partied it up! But here are the Breakfast in Bed photos, our favorite tradition!
