Well Im just about officially a year behind on my blog. :/ Still would like to catch up so here we go. We celebrated Bellas 4th and Clares 2nd birthdays with a Minnies Bow-tique birthday party. I had a lot of fun planning it out and the girls loved every minute of it and have talked about it all year. I think it was a success! Some of the décor:

We started out the party by having the kids color their own bow (for the girls) or bowtie (for the boys) that would be clipped to their hat or shirt. We had extra coloring pages and activities around for those who were quick finishers.

Once everyone arrived we got the party started. Tootles (Mickey Mouse club house) came to visit and gave us 3 Mouskatools for us to use so we could get to the dance party!

1- Bow. We had to help Minnie get ready for the dance party! Pin the bow on Minnie.
2- Beanbag. We had to fill the holes in the road with beanbags. Bean bag toss.

Then we took a break and had some lunch. Mickey mouse chicken nuggets, pink applesauce, and cheese puffs for the kids. Yummy homemade "bows" and cheese for the adults. While we ate we watched Minnie's bow-tique episodes on the wall outside.

Then we used our last Mousekatool, 3- baseball bat to hit the piñata.

We made it to the dance party!!! The kids had fun dancing to mickey mouse clubhouse songs.

Minnie cake

Happy girls!

Utah

We were able to take a quick trip to Utah in January of 2013 to visit family. Thomas was still off work and feeling pretty crappy but felt well enough to sit in the car for a long time so off we went! We were able to go see each member of our family in the Utah/Idaho area so it was a nice trip. Here are some pics of the girls playing with cousins at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Didn't get any other pics of the trip. Lame!
