Tea Party

Rylie's friend Hannah turned four and had a tea party yesterday. Rylie was so excited that she was going to be able to go to a real tea party at a real tea restaurant. Since Anna was still sick, Auntie Pam took Rylie with her and Abby. Rylie had so much fun! She kept telling me that she got to drink tea out of a real tea cup and use a glass plate. She also got to eat "fancy sandwiches" and have a cupcake. When Pam dropped her off, she ran in the house and said, "I used my manners the whole time!"

Thank you Krista and Hannah for inviting Rylie to such a fun party!

First Cubbie Patch!

Rylie earned her first Cubbie patch tonight! She had to learn five verses, the Cubbie's motto, and complete her book work. I'm very proud of her! (By the way, I really do comb her hair before club! I don't know why she looks so disheveled!)

Princess Abby also earned her patch tonight! I just love her pose!

Week 3 Weigh In and Awana Awards

One and a half pounds gone this week. Not stellar, but better than nothing. I've reviewed my week and realized some changes that I need to make, so hopefully next week I'll have some big results. I'm too tired to go into it all now.

Last night we had the end of the year Awana awards ceremony. It was so fun to recognize my little Puggles (don't tell them I called them little!) Aren't they adorable?! The other picture is Rylie and her cousin Abby hamming it up. Rylie is very excited that next year she gets to be a Cubbie like her cousin!

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I got my hair cut and foiled this week. I went to a beauty school. It was significantly cheaper, but it took much longer. Becky and I went together to get our hair foiled as part of our "mentoring time" and that took three hours. They didn't have time to do the haircut so I had to go back yesterday morning for another three hours. Thanks to my wonderful hubby for going in late to work so I could do that!

Lot's more to say, but it's past my bedtime! Enjoy some linky love tomorrow! I'm already started on next weeks list!

Cousins and Aunt Paula!

This is how we rang in the New Year . . .
