Reese's Pieces turns 3!

Oh Reese! Where did 3 years go? Why did they go so fast? Why do I just love you so so much? Why did I get so lucky to have you be a part of our family? Why do you have such a huge attitude and a huge heart in the tiny tiny body?

I can't think of anyone so sweet, so spunky, so fiery, so adorable, so loving, so forgiving as you! You make all of us so happy!

Everyday is an adventure with you and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything! I am so incredibly thankful for you and the spirit you have!


Reese,
You have the biggest heart! You love to see people happy and hate to see people sad! You love your back being scratched, you loving having songs sung to you as you fall asleep. You love eating your cereal without milk and you could have macaroni and cheese for every dinner! You are an extremely picky eater.
You're so little. You are finally wearing 2T clothes (you just turned 3)! You love playing dolls and cutting paper. You will copy anything Sage does. She loves you and is so protective of you! She is a really great big sister! Always remember that! Always remember how much we love you!
Happy Birthday Reese!!

Christmas Journals. Pretzels. BunkBeds. Family Games.

Sage was to keep a journal over Christmas break. I tried to let her do as much as possible! My OCD side takes over at times and I want words spelled correctly, spacing between words, and punctuation right. I let her do the last page herself and I couldn't have loved it more! I am so amazed at how much she has learned in such a short amount of time! Props to her teacher, and any other teacher. They are amazing.

On the last day of Christmas break we tried to stay home and hang out all day! I was not ready for school and work to start again! I loved spending time with my girls. They are the best. We made pretzels and they were delicious. A treat we all love.

We finally got the girls bunk beds. I kept saying I wanted to get rid of Reese's bed, her old crib, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It was one of those sentimental things, closing a chapter, letting go of the "last" baby thing! But I did it, and the girls love it! It takes them FOREVER to fall asleep, but they like it. Cute sisters.

Church has changed to 9:00 am. As early as it is, and as hard as it is to get up and get ready, it is so nice to be home by 12:00, have lunch, naps, and enjoy the day. Today was great.
Oh and I got a new calling- a RS teacher. We'll see how that goes.
