Happy Birthday

This was actually another present from my sister for the kids to open.

It had hats, plates, streamers and balloons and directions to throw a

birthday party for our animals!

The kids were elated!

We spent the morning making cupcakes and frosting. Z wanted pink cupcakes with purple frosting and E wanted blue with yellow frosting.

We are still so very sad about missing our precious kitty so Z brought our her little kitty to remind her of our cat. She prays every night to help him come home to us.

Countdown

My sister Katie mailed me a huge box when Zoë first got sick.

Each day, the kids open a present from the box and there is enough until

we fly out for my sister's wedding.

They LOVE it.

Here are a few of the things they have received:

Emmett and his whistle

The bandaid is covering a gash in his face the barely missed his eye.

A bracelet with Z's name.

Emmett not sharing

Emmett being Emmett

They were sent painted eggs. Which broke about 2 hours after they opened it.

So they made their own.

Emmett was actually pretty dang gentle with his

Z was definitely more artistic in mind and tried several different ways of decorating

Ellie bellie

General Conference

Scarlet fever aftermath...

This was all over her - from the top of her forehead to her ankles.

These are still on my counter

Ellie is off oxygen and Z is over the worst, so we went for a WALK!!!

Ellie is wearing Anya Crace. She makes the cutest stuff :)

Z and E cuddling. I didn't let much cuddling happen because of all the germs.

We read in the Friend magazine about these bunny buns and made them.

They were SUPER yummy
