The big girls had their 1st sleepover this past weekend. Their good friend Keira slept over Saturday night. It worked best to have the sleepover here so Margaux could join in on the fun. I'm not so sure Marg could handle a w/o mom or dad sleepover just yet. Here are the girls reading in Marin's bed.

 I took both of these photos with the ipad so they aren't as clear, but you get the idea. They were so excited. Made us feel like Marin is super old. I can't believe she's to the age that she'll be having & going to sleepovers with her friends. Doesn't seem right. But they sure did have fun.

It was fun for us to see their excitement. They did a great job too. I told them at bed time that if they went to bed well, they would be able to have more sleepovers. Totally worked like a charm. I didn't hear a peep out of them after I left the bedroom. They were exhausted! {They stayed up SUPER late...9 pm! lol} They all stayed in bed all night & got up at 7am. Pretty darn good for a first sleepover.  First sleepover of MANY to come! xoxo

Maeve had a first last week, she got her nails painted! It definitely made her feel like a big girl. She didn't stop looking at them for days. It was cute to hear her talk about her "pretty" nails that mommy painted! This was the best picture I could get of her. She wouldn't even look up at the camera, she was in awe! lol

 Just so happened that it was also Valentines Day! The girls woke up to cards along the counter in each of their places from daddy. They were thrilled, he picked out some pretty awesome valentines too! Margaux with her Barbie Valentine that included a charm bracelet!

 And we all know how much Maeve loves Elmo, he did all he could to find her an Elmo Valentine & this one just had to do!  For his GRANDdaughter! lol She LOVED it & obviously had no idea. She was happy with all the Elmo stickers inside!

 I picked up these cute Valentine treats for the girls to share {big caramel brownies for the adults}

We also worked to set the table & make it all Valentine-y for the girls. They were so excited. We had heart-shaped pizzas for dinner with my mom & Aunt Katie too! {All the guys were out of town/dinner, although Gary surprised us & came home!}

By the end of the day the girls were all hopped up on sugar & acting crazy! It was such a fun day, I think they definitely know they're loved! xoxo

Marin has been coming home with all these love notes lately. It's so cute & I have a hard time throwing any of them away! I loved this one for Gary saying "I love you dad you are special, love Marin." She came home got it out of her back pack & brought it into our bedroom to place on his night stand. So cute! As much as I hate them getting older & want them to stay little forever, it is fun that she's getting more independent too! We have her parent-teacher conferences tonight. Looking forward to the update! xo

 Today is Marin's 100th Day of Kindergarten. She is so excited to get to school & celebrate with her class. They've been counting down the days for "a lot of days" she says. For a take-home family project, she had to create a "100" poster with on hundred of something that she could choose. She chose 100 snowflakes {above} She really enjoyed cutting out the snowman, his hat, etc. It took quite some time to glue on all 100 of those tiny little snowflakes but it turned out cute!

And I got to work this morning & made her "100" lunch. 100 shaped pb&j and cookies too! She's just getting ready to get on the bus now just before 10am because school was delayed this  morning. {Icy roads} Hopefully they can get all their celebrating in with the shorter day! Have fun Marin! xoxo
Update- She had a great day & came  home with this adorable hat...

 100 Days Smarter! So cute! She said she told her teacher & showed her friends her 100 sandwich. They all wanted one too. I guess I should have made more! Happy 100th Day Marin!
