Jenna's Two

This past week was Jenna's second birthday....Hard to believe that I have a three-year old, a two-year old and an eight-month old. Where has the time gone?! I know now the pricelessness of each little moment, laugh, giggle, and smile. They are so important to me and I treasure them so much.

We celebrated Jenna's birthday this weekend with a princess party. I'll post some of those pics later - I have to edit them first. :) To celebrate as a family though, we made her favorite dinner (but we had it as a side dish) - mac and cheese. We sang Happy Birthday, and of course we let her open her present from us. She really likes Ariel and Cinderella, so we got her an Ariel doll that can also go in the water with her. She loves it and takes it everywhere.

Jessica was so nice and took some pictures of Jenna when we took the grandkids picture for Sherrie's mom. They turned out SO good! The one at the top is my favorite. Here's a glance at some of my other favorites she took:

Snow Day

Yesterday we had our first snow day of the season. Texas gets snow - just not usually where we are. We are about an hour north of Houston, and it gets cold here in the winter, but never usually snow. We have El Nino to thank this year for our likely white Christmas. Yesterday was the earliest recordable amount of snowfall in the area on record, making it a high possiblity of a white Christmas, or at least another snow fall before 2009 is over. Some places experienced 4 inches! We had encough to make everything beautiful and it stuck for a little while. The next morning was GORGEOUS outside! School got out at half day, and when we got home, I let Josh play outside for a little as the girls fell asleep on the way home. Here's a video of what we did:

Here's a few pictures from the next day:
