Turning FOUR!

 On November 26th, My baby girl turned Four years old.  Which means I am also getting older. Yikes!
We had a wonderful Pie Night and then Thanksgiving at my Grandma Taylor's.  The Saturday after we celebrated Jorja's big day. She was super cute and ended up having a wonderful day.  She told me she wanted flowers EVERYWHERE. So, I made tons of tissue paper flowers and Mommy helped me make these cute flower cupcakes. Thanks to everyone who helped make her day so special. We have so many wonderful people in our lives and we are so lucky to have shared her Big day with them!

 Jorja and Grandpa Rod.

 The decorations!

 The Birthday Hat!

 Opening presents started out well... Then poor Jaye got upset that they were not his to open. I felt so bad! 

 She got spoiled rotten!  This rainbow book from James is SO CUTE!

 Birthday girl ate mostly icing off her cake!

Jaye is such a handsome ladybug.  The kids had lots of fun playing with the glow sticks and glow masks. 
Grandma Launi spoiled Jorja with these balloons. She had lots of fun keeping them in her room till they died.

 The Sunday after her Birthday, we cleaned up and put up Christmas decorations. Because, I was so excited! I wanted that tree up long before this day. The girls were so cute putting up their ornaments. I love that they know who and where they got their ornaments. It's a fun dance down memory lane.

My girls are so grown up! Make them STOP!

First Snows... and Cabin Fever!

 We had some lovely early snow just after Halloween... It was so pretty with the trees still hanging on to there leaves.

 Happy Halloween from Grandpa Rod and Grandma Sherrie... spoiled rotten kids! Well loved ones though.

 Mom needed some help up at her cabin. She had some sliding glass doors here and they leaked last spring letting water into the cabin. We had plans to replace them all summer and never made it back up to take care of it. Josh, Jorja and I went up to close the cabin down and take care of the door. Josh worked hard to get it out and put the new door and window in.

 Yeah a window! But... it's dark and getting cold.

 Day two, Jorja loves the snow!

 Yeah a door and window! So much safer and it feels so much better. Lots to do still at the cabin, but we do get a lot accomplished when we do go.  Love this place!

 Josh actually locking the door!

 It feels so good and I loved being up at the cabin with the snow. It was stunning!

 Though, we almost didn't make it out. We went sliding off the driveway backing out. We were only sitting on three tires. Josh was able to dig us out, he is so handy!

 Our tire tracks in and out. You can see were the back tires just started sliding.

 The view on the drive down. LOVELY!

 We were out of electricity in the kitchen the week before Thanksgiving.  This was the reason why. I took Josh way too much  energy and outside help to finally figure it out! Thank you Mark and Josh for doing such an amazing job. Just in time for Turkey Day!
