MOM'S BDAY NOVEMBER 19!

November 19th was my mom's birthday. We made cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, grilled hotdogs with corn on the cob and artichokes and salad. After dinner we went out for coffees at Live Culture and sat in the rain! We managed to stay pretty dry though. ;) I love you mom so much. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made for us and for all your love and prayers. You never give up on any of us and you are such a great grandma. We love you!

Penelope Turns One!

Penelope turned one on November 10! We celebrated with two of her friends, Desi and Sam on November 7 at the MacNaughton home. So it was a fun Triple Bday! The invite featured a pic of all three babies in a "film strip" with the title "Smile You're Invited" (pic to be uploaded soon). We used the invite as inspiration throughout the rest of the party by using the colors turquoise, purple and green, and the graphics of circles and stars for our little "stars." My favorite photographer Madeleine madphoto.com was there taking fun candids of all the kids and even set up a "photo booth" for fun photo opps. This party was so much fun, even though Penelope was hanging on by a thread through most of it. LOL She just couldn't get that nap in with all the activitiy- but she lasted nonetheless. Happy Birthday to our beautiful little girl who is growing up so fast! You are such a joy and delight and have enriched our lives more than we could have ever imagined. I love you Miss Penelope Pearl!

To carry on with the theme we even tied in the food courtesy of French trained chef and dad to Sam, Mr Grant MacNaughton! Here are "Sam's Sliders" featured above- yum!

"Penelope's Pepperoni Pizzas"
and don't forget Desi's dunkers
(which were grilled cheese sandwiches in the shapes of circles dunked in tomato soup!)

Penelope and the Pumpkin

More from Halloween! Penelope got a lot of use out of her costume let me tell you! Another photo opp of course is the pumpkin patch. I mean who can resist? Some of the parents from pep coordinated a time when we could the kiddies together for a fun shot. Its hard to get them all looking it the same direction but who cares... they look awfully cute!

Infant Times Halloween 2010

So its been quite a while since my last posting. We've had a lot going on including a move in November. The post here is from October during Halloween time. Our infant times class had all the kids dress up for the last day of class for the semester. It was super cute watching all of these monkeys, puppies, ponies, ladybugs etc etc crawl around. I'm secretly living my dream by dressing my own baby up in an animal costume. Nothing is cuter than a baby dressed as cute fuzzy little animal! For Miss P's first Halloween she is a pony! If you squeeze the nose it neighs. Love it. Take a look below for some cute pics of class.
