decorating for christmas is our favorite! we painted pinecones from the yard, and made a new felt wreath.

Rebecca made this ornament herself at school! I love it.

a bunny halloween

sherwin-old — Sun, 09 Nov 2014 04:24:45 +0000

this year R wanted to be a little bunny for hallowe’en. i made her a costume, complete with ears and a big white fluffy tail (my favorite part).

getting in character. at one point she had me give her a carrot to chew on (until she decided that this bunny doesn’t like carrots) and had a sofa-cushion-rabbit-hole where she hid with her two stuffed bunnies.

ee ee came to join in the fun this year

first we did some trick-or-treating with our friends and then walked through our own neighborhood, which was a great way to meet some neighbors.

a butterfly birthday

sherwin-old — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:28:16 +0000

A fourth birthday! I initially didn’t know if we would have a party this year, but at the end managed to put together a sweet butterfly birthday party for R and a few little friends.

Making our cake: the annual chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries.

Getting ready… butterflies! The happy birthday garland I made when she turned one made yet another appearance this year.

little friends. we made coffee filter butterflies and played games.

birthday cake. she loves (is obsessed with) birthday hats.

thanks for coming!
