Now, where is that fairy? This fairy was in a good hiding spot, by the time this video was shot they had already all been looking for a long time for this fairy. Victoria had to give them pointers.

They finally found the Mackenzie fairy hiding in the bathtub!

Birthday Cake.

The night ended with Matt, Amy and Todd over for Thumbelina, popcorn and CANDY! Happy Birthday Mia Bug! We love you!

Christmas Party

All dressed up and ready to go.

Leila is an old pro.

Mia will talk to him from a safe distance with Mom holding her hand.

And Lucy, well... maybe next year.

Sleep Over!

The girls all crawled in bed with Leila. With how cozy they look, who wouldn't?

Grandma and Grandpa Swenson

We were so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Swenson in Sacramento for a visit in November. We had a great and relaxed time with good company and good food. Unfortunately the only pics we got are pics of storytime.. oh well, at least we got those. We sure had fun, thanks for the visit!

Alphabet Soup and Our almost 4 year old

Leila has been sick today and so for dinner we had vegetable alphabet soup. Amelia was searching out the letters and naming words that went with the letters. Here is what she confidently shouted out:
"K for cake!" I was pretty impressed that she got the right sound with the word, then came,
"Y for Hawaii!" and then "B for bumble bee!" Sam and I smiled- now that was impressive.

Leila tried to tell her that Y is for Yak, but Mia confidently replied, "I am right and you are wrong". Immediately Sam and I thought about the movie, Matilda. "I'm right and you're wrong. I'm big and you're small"

Funny girls. They all got really cute fall aprons and chef's hats in the mail today from their Grandma Swenson. Leila was too sick to try hers out, maybe tomorrow.
