Ice Skating and Joyful Jumps

Laurelea has been under the weather the last week or so. On Friday we headed to Joyful Jumps and the weekend before we went with Grammy to Silver Spring and L and Cory skating on the open air ice rink in down town.

At Joyful Jumps!

 After a full morning of jumping we grabbed lunch. This was our first meal where L and I sat across from one another.

 The penguin was a hit!

 Then she realized that she didn't need the support

Here are some pictures from our phone from the last month or so...

We have had some brutally cold temperatures.. L was determined to play in it. 

 Friday night dinner out! Someone loves root beer!

Thanks Grampy for my new outfit!

More Fancy Nancy

Here are some of the pictures that we took on our camera. We had about 50 people attend Laurelea's party this year! It is crazy to think that our little Bee is almost 3.

Laurelea had a special Fancy Nancy outfit

Her name in lights!

Fancy Laurelea "cheese-ing" before the party

Opening some of the Bitty Baby accessories she got

Cheese!  Its so entertaining to watch her grow up a teeny tiny bit at a time

The parfait station, of course

The food in the foreground and Decorate-Your-Spectacles station in the background

Decorating her specs.  She couldn't wait for company to do that

What a party!  Happy 3rd Birthday, Laurelea!!

Let's get Fancy- Laurelea is 3

Laurelea loves Fancy Nancy, so we had a Fantastic Nancy Soiree. We have a friend who took some pictures from the party. I'm going to start with those, as they are amazing pictures...a huge thanks to Juliette Fradin for doing this.
