Jillian's 6th Birthday- manicures, pedicures & yogurt

Jillian wanted to get her nails done for her birthday party. So we invited her 4 best friends and went right after kindergarten. They got pampered at the nail salon with manicures, pedicures and ended up with the cutest hands and feet! Then we went to Jillian's favorite build it yourself yogurt shop and let the girls create their own dessert. It was such a fun party and the girls had a blast!

Isn't that the cutest butterfly chair? Jillian was in heaven!


She cracked up everytime they lady touched her feet! It was so cute and everyone in the salon laughed hearing her adorable giggles.

American Girl- LA

This weekend I took Maddie and Jillian to American Girl in LA. We went with a big group of friends and had the best time! We stayed in a hotel and the kids loved running around together, going up and down the elevator and stairs and playing with their dolls. We had a blast at the American Girl store. The girls had their dolls hair done, took pictures in the doll studio, ate at the delicous cafe, and loved shopping for goodies with their birthday money. It was such a perfect weekend!

Our Valentine's Projects:

I LOVE Valentine's Day! This year I wanted to be more creative so I put my new Cricut to use and got crafty!

I made my first banner!


I made cards!


I made a table display!


I asked the kids if they wanted to make Valentines or buy them. It was unanimous that they wanted to make them. Here's what we came up with.

Caden: he learned to use a paper cutter, wrapped all the bars, glued them with glue dots and put everything together. The only thing I did was buy the paper and make the robot label.



Jillian: she put everything together by herself. I only bought the stuff and printed out the labels.



Madelyn: she helped scoop the M&Ms in the bags and learned how to tie on the bows. What a big helper she was!

- I bought the shovels on ebay. I searched plastic shovels and bought an auction that sold them in a lot of 36. The shovels were about 3 inches wide and 7 inches tall.
- I used a 2 inch scallopped punch.
-Someone told me she just bought the same shovels for $0.40/ each at Giant Party Store online. Here's a link to the shovels.
