March 2010

The highlight for this month is that all of us girls got our ears pierced. Emma has been saying for weeks now that she was the only girl in 2nd grade without her ears pierced (which is probably true, since her class is divided into 1st and 2nd grade, and there are only four 2nd grade girls total). And Mackenna said she wanted hers done for her birthday. So we took Kenna while Emma was at school. She didn't wince, say 'ow', or look nervous at all.



When Emma got home we took her and her hands were cold and clammy while she waited in the chair with a terrified look on her face.


The same day Emma got hers pierced she also lost a tooth, which she pulled out on her own.

The only other exciting thing was my New Moon party. We played Twictionary (yes, I came up with that one) and New Moon the Movie Board Game. We talked through the entire movie.


Here is the Team Edward cake (for more pictures see my cake blog):


And here is Team Taylor. I mean Team Jacob:


Oh. One more thing....Kenna turned six! Here she is next to her family presents and cards:

She actually had about a week-long birthday. We went to dinner at Training Table on Tuesday to celebrate, since Sean was working on her actual birthday. On Wednesday, her birthday, she got to open all her gifts from our family. After school we had chicken nuggets and curly fries per the birthday girl's request, and the kids watched Princess and the Frog while I made Easter egg crispy treats. Kenna's actual party is on Easter Sunday when we will have Sean's family and also some of Amy's inlaws over for dinner. But I just finished the cake tonight. It is pistachio cake with lemon-cream filling, and definitely the most fun I've had doing a cake for a while:
