Tanessa's Baptism

 We were very excited to see our Nessa girl get baptized.
And then... (see previous Snow post) it snowed. A lot. And it was crazy crazy cold turning all that beautiful white fluffy snow into ice. The roads were horridly slick and we couldn't leave until after school Friday. Five hours of driving in the dark and ice. :(  In the end we decided it wasn't a wise idea. We were so sad to miss Tanessa's big day, but Kristi sent pictures!

12 Days of Christmas for Nessa and Darbee

 We've done the 12 days of Christmas several times for other families throughout the years, but this year we decided to do it for members of our family! The kids helped me plan and shop and we sent a special package to Darbee and Tanessa. It was so fun getting pictures from Kristi, showing us the girls loving their gifts.

Bailey's Birthday

When Sydney was invited to one of her BFF's birthday parties she was very excited, but then we had decided to miss it because her cuz was going to be here. Kim sweetly extended the invite to Tanessa as well and Ness said she'd like to go. I was a little worried about her because she'd started to get homesick, so I kept checking in on them and made sure Kim knew to text me if she needed to come home. Kim is so kind. She kept sending me pictures of all the fun they were having--assuring me everyone was happy!

Tanessa is actually closer to Bailey's age than Sydney so it worked out great. They had lots of fun!

Princess Camp 2016

This year our Nessa girl came and stayed with us for Princess Camp. Sydney was so thrilled to have her come. She adores her cousin.

They were so excited!

Syd loves her Logan friend so much and sadly she snubbed him a bit being so excited to have Nessa here. He'd want to sit by her or play with her and she only cared about being by Nessa. She really wasn't trying to be mean--she was just so worried about being right with her cousin. Still, I love that boy, she does too!! He is the sweetest and it made me a little sad. Thankfully he's pretty forgiving.

My cute boys came and helped again. They love helping so much. And they are a big help--more so when they aren't together. haha.

She was trying really hard to keep him shorter than her... but it just wasn't working. :)

Elsa and Anna

Kristi made the three of us Rapunzel aprons! They were so adorable. How sweet is she? I am so used to my princess camp apron with my big pockets I ended up taking mine off--I needed my pockets! haha. But we had fun being triplets.

This picture just makes me chuckle. Just a little girl drama. Sydney wanted to play with her cuz who didn't feel like playing with her right then. Oh, the heart break.

With Sam's boys coming to camp this year I was so excited to find them some king crowns!

Princess Rylee!

This cute girl came to our first princess camp 9 years ago!!
