Someone Had A Birthday!

My sweet Molly turned 2 yesterday! I was going to blog about it last night, but I fell asleep too early. So, a day late isn't so bad! Wow, I can't even believe she is already 2. The last 2 years have gone by so fast! She is still my baby though, even though I can feel the terrible 2's creeping upon us! She has been talking so much lately, she really wants us to understand her. If we can't understand what she is saying she will grab your hand and show you what she wants you to see! She gets along so well with her sisters, they sure do treat her like the baby of the family! I am so happy that my girls have each other. I tell them when they fight "You better be nice to each other because you have each other forever! You can never get rid of your sisters!" They love that one!
Here is Molly this morning before church. I didn't know what to get her for her birthday, since it is 1 day after Christmas, and she is into pretty dresses, so I got her this dress. I went to the store on the 26th and found this $45.00 dress for $15.00! I couldn't pass it up! I also got it in a size 4 so she can wear it for a while. She LOVED it and felt like a princess in it! I ask her all the time if she is my princess and she always says "Uh Huh"(Yes!).

Probably from watching her sisters blow out the candles on their cakes from past birthdays, Molly knew just what to do when it came time to blow out her candles! Rodger and I were both pretty surprised by it! She did such a good job!


She also knew that underneath the pretty wrapping paper were probably some really great toys, so she just ripped right into her presents! I guess I never realized how much she watches us and how much she knows! It also probably helped that Christmas was the day before and she had plenty of practice then!



Here Molly is with a blanket that her Aunt Kathy and Uncle Jeff made her. I'm not sure why but she LOVES blankets, which she calls "GG's". It's pretty cute. She also likes to be wrapped in them a specific way. She is pretty particular about her "GG's" and she loved this one and slept with it last night! How lucky I am to know my sweet Molly, as well as my other girls! Sooo, Happy Birthday Molly! I LOVE You!
To My Sweet Molly Girl,
Happy 2nd Birthday sweetheart! I am so glad that you chose me to be your mom. You make me happy everyday with your sweet smile and personality. Even though you are my 4th girl, and I had hoped that someday I would have a son, I would never trade you for anything! I am lucky to know you and I feel like you are here for a purpose and that you have some GREAT things to do here! When Dad and I found out that we were having another girl, we were soo happy! You have seriously been a ray of sunshine in my life. My hope for you is to have a long happy life, chasing your dreams and being the amazing person I know that you are! I love you! Happy Birthday!
Love, Mom

From My Family To Yours

Well, in my time zone it is still Christmas, so Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone had a really great day full of family, friends, food, smiles, PJs, movies, presents, more food! You all know the drill! Well, we had such a great day today! The girls woke up early, but not too early. Waking up on Christmas morning around 7:15 isn't so bad! Here we are as a family on Christmas Eve. We let the girls open up PJ's then. They loved them! I had bought them some jammies from Wal-Mart, but I went to a service day at my church and won PJ pants for everyone in my family! So a lady from my church made some matching pj pants for my girls and for Rodg and I. I bought their shirts at a consignment shop. So they are not all the same, but I thought any shade of pink would work-and they did! I spent a whole $10.50 on all 4 shirts! And to make the story even better, I had consigned some of my girls old clothes and got $10.35 back! So I really only paid 15 cents for their shirts! Sweet! I love a good deal! AND to make the story even better, the Wal-Mart PJ's were WAY to big and never would have fit my girls and they wouldn't have had any PJ's for Christmas! Oh, I am out of breath! I'm soo glad it all worked out!
My cute girls on Christmas Eve 2009

I LOVE this picture of Sophia! They were so excited about opening their presents as well as giving what they had purchased for their sisters and Rodger and I. A few weeks ago their was a thing called Winter Wonderland at their school. It is a place where parents can bring their kids to purchase gifts for their families at a pretty cheap price. I happened to be working that weekend so Rodger took all 4 of them! I was pretty impressed! They loved to see the look on their sisters faces when they opened the gift they had gotten them! P.S. Sophia is holding the PJ's from Wal-Mart! You know, the ones that are too big, the ones she won't be able to wear until she is 14? I hate Wal-Mart sizes sometimes!


Abby with her gift from Santa. She asked for a Tamagotchi, and that is what she got! She took care of it today and really had a fun time learning all about it!



OK, I know what you are thinking! You got Rodger a WHaT? A Nerf Sniper Rifle? He is grown up, right? Yes, he is my husband of 11 years, yes he is the father of my 4 girls and yes he loves Nerf guns! He had so much fun with it today!




Santa brought Macey and Molly this craft table. It is so very cute and they played with it ALL day, I'm not kidding! They sure did forget quick that this was not what they had asked Santa for! I'm so glad that they are so happy.





My girls, together. How sweet they are and what a sweet job I have being their Mom! Merry Christmas girls! I hope you had the best day ever!
So, to all of my friends out there that I did not call today, Merry Christmas! At least for the next 40 minutes! Love you all!
