Last weekend was Grammie's birthday! Friday morning when Genevieve woke up she was so excited to start the festivities. I had to remind her we weren't going to see Grammie until that night, but that we could work on a few projects for her throughout the day. So first thing, the kids helped bake a chocolate cake. Both kids helped measure, stir and lick the utensils. While the cake was baking we got out the paint for them to paint Grammie some pictures. Genevieve painted a birthday cake on one and birthday balloons on another. Anson just made a colorful masterpiece with all the colors:) That evening we went to dinner at Blue Mesa and then went back to my parents for cake and presents. It was a fun celebration! Happy Birthday, Grammie!
Claire, you are such a great mom! I hope that when Travis and I have children, we are able to teach them to be as generous and thoughtful as your children are.
I'm a wife to a wonderful husband and father, Ollie, who is busy pursuing his dream to be a doctor, a mother to a sweet, but sassy five year old girl, Genevieve, and a cuddly, but demanding two year old boy, Anson. I enjoy the outdoors, soccer, reading, musicals, hiking, snowboarding, camping, swimming, the 80's, shopping, traveling (wish I could do this more often), baking, photography, animal rights, playing cards, backgammon, sudoku, Kraft macaroni & cheese, summers in Seattle, spring in New Mexico, fall in Texas, chocolate, real conversations about politics and religion with open-minded people, family walks, the smell of coffee, sunflowers, raspberries, vegetarianism, hanging out with friends and family. Life is continuously an adventure at our house!
