November's playdate

In Nov., Christy & Sunny invited us all to her house for brunch and some play time. It was tons of fun & the kids had a blast, too!

Sarah, Sunny & Lia loved the tire swing

and Emilie got a turn!

Isn't Little Miss Lia adorable?

My baby is a little climber!!

On November 14th, my precious little girl woke up from her nap while Mama was in the basement working on a quilt. She was nice and quiet, so Mama wouldn't hear her. After a while, I was thinking...hmm...she should be awake any minute now. I went upstairs to see a little girl surrounded by my make up and her face extremely colorful! I had to get the camera...one day I'll use these photos for blackmail when she's a teenager and I'm trying to get her to do something! :)

If I hide behind the hanger...maybe she won't notice!

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day!

On October 31st, we celebrated Sarah's second Gotcha day! 2 years ago, we held our little girl for the first time! We went out for Chinese food with our dearest friends and Sarah's, too. It was great. We gave Sarah a gift that we bought in China for her. We have gifts to give her every year on the anniversary when she became a member of our family, all from China. We had a great time and so did Sarah.

Charity Quilt & Sarah dancing

For my friend, Angie's adoption of precious little Miranda, I pieced this quilt. A friend that I met through my quilting classes offered to do the quilting for free to help out. I thought it looked great! We raised $100 for Angie's adoption with it and we raised a total of over $3100 that night. We had a dinner and auction for them that night. It was a lot of fun and we were so happy that we could be a part of helping them bring Miranda home. Hopefully they'll get their Consulate Appointment date this week and be able to bring their little beauty home in a few weeks. We can't wait to meet her!

There was a band playing and Sarah couldn't help but dance...she had a blast!

Now...THAT'S a smile!

Harvest Party!

We stopped by our church on the 31st of October to play at the Harvest Party for a little while. It was lots of fun, I got to play some games and win some prizes.

Here I am with my glasses that I won!

This was the first time I ever did a cake walk...I got to win a chocolate cake to take home!

WEE! I love it when they play the music!

Then...we went home and I put on my Snow White dress that I got for my birthday along with my crown. I got to give out candy to all the kids that came to my house. I had SOOO much fun!!

Am I the most beautiful princess you've ever seen or what?

Another FUN Zoo Trip!

A couple of days after Sarah's birthday, we went to the zoo with Shyanne and Stacey. We had a blast and the kids really enjoyed themselves!

Here are Shyanne, Bailey, Sarah and Braden with the gorilla!

Look Mama! I'm much smaller than the gorilla is!

But I'm almost as tall as the Orangutan! (I like my apples so much I just couldn't put it down!)

We're at the Asian room by the Asian tigers and snow leopard and Sarah is playing around the instruments.

"And here we have the Chinese drum, constructed in..."

She looks like she's the zoo employee telling us all about that drum!

Shyanne and Sarah playing on the tigers!

Happy Belated 3rd Birthday, Sarah!

Because of the many computer related issues I've been having and am still having...I'm quite a bit behind in my blogging. Here are some photos from Sarah's 3rd birthday, that we had back at the end of October...when the weather was still warm enough for a halter.
