Tea Party

It was such a beautiful sunny day today
(a balmy 5 degrees)...

...and Jemma decided it was a perfect day

for a picnic tea party.

Happy 3rd Birthday

We started the day opening birthday cards.

Look at the smile!!"It's my hundred bucks!!!"

Showing the haul.

Thank-you everyone

for a great Day!!

Our "Mom's group"

surprised Jemma with a cake......then our friend Meta came over with a huge bag of gifts.

(Yes, that is Jemma crawling in

to reach the smarties at the bottom.)...

...some cuddle time with

Daddy when he came home from work.

Then after dinner we had Birthday Brownies...YUMMMM.Thank-you everyone for making this such a special day for

Jemma!!!

Sleep-over

Jemma had her first sleep-over the other night.

This is a photo of the girls sound asleep

after an evening of fun and laughter.Then the next day;I found her on the floor of her room, half on/half off her bed.
It looks like she was doing a puzzle and then just "fell" asleep !
(Of course tightly clutching her Ladybug.)

Kuaizi

Jemma received these chopsticks from our friends...

(kuaizi)
and has become quite the pro when handling them!

The best Christmas gift

Judging from the smile on her face...

I think she totally loves her new ladybug umbrella.

The great snowfall of 2008

The snowbanks we made to get to the car.

Jemma trying to dig her way off the deck...

...ok, maybe I'll try the stairs...

"help, I can't get up!"
