Natalie is 4!

Natalie told us that she wanted a Barbie party this year, all of a sudden she is into Barbies. But she wanted a cake with butterflies that was purple and green. Kari did a great job as usual with this one, Natalie was so excited about it.

I tried to get a few shots of her, but she was not interested, this was the best one I got.

We played nail polish spin the bottle for the activity. Can you tell how excited Kai was to play?!

They had to pick a color and spin the bottle, then go pain one nail on the person it pointed to.

The end result (after the boys had enough and went off to play):

Pretty fingers!

We are a little sneaky, the kids have so many toys that we keep a bunch in the crawl space and rotate them. Natalie had forgotten about this gem, so she got it again! haha Kai remembered though and almost ruined the surprise. 

The party guests singing happy birthday!

Hamster Funeral

I am playing catch - up on pictures. These were taken during Jeremy's last trip to India. One of the hamsters died and the kids wanted to do a funeral. The only thing was, we weren't sure which hamster died and both kids were fighting about whose had actually died. So we made two headstones. 

And this is what I found sunday morning when trying to hurry and get all the kids ready for church! Little stinker.

Here is Kai in his dancing superheroes class he took at the youth arts festival this year. I love the foam light sabers the teacher made.
