Saidey is Five!

Saidey is Five!     January 15,  2014

Opening her birthday presents

                                                       Posing outside the Vancouver Scince Centre 

   On Saideys birthday we decided to do something special and go to the Vancouver Science Centre. Because it was boxing day it was only open from 12:00 - 6:00 but we definitely could of spent the whole day there. We all had a lot of fun and leaned some new things. The girls got to make a maraca, get their faces painted, listen to a story about a turtle and then pet a real turtle, but I think their favorite part was all the water play. They got to learn about things floating and how to build a dam. Ben really wanted to watch an I-Max movie, so we got tickets for one about polar bears but Hannah fell asleep 5 minutes into the movie, and Saidey was asking if we were done the whole time, but Ben and I thought it was interesting!
   Then we bought Pizza for supper, Saideys favorite! I cant believe she is five already.

Hannah Is Three January 7, 2013

Hannah Is Three   January 7, 2014

 

 

   I cant believe our little girl is three! Three years flew by. Hannah never liked being a "little girl"

and we definitely are not allowed to call her our "Baby" anymore! She likes to be called an "older girl". Even before she could walk she has been trying to be just like her big sister. Lately she is checking every morning to see if her hair is as long as Saideys. She also loves to copy everything Saidey says.

   Hannah definitely has her own personality though. She loves to help in the kitchen, washing dishes, baking, and sweeping the floor. She loves to look at books and pretend to read them "all by my big girl self". She is cuddly, and every Sunday for second service she climbs on my lap and falls asleep almost as soon as we get into church. She also still naps almost every day of the week to, unless we have somewhere to be, then she can skip a day. I love watching her color pictures, she try's so hard to stay in the lines. She also loves to dance and sing. Daily she comes up with new names for our baby, She loves Milo for a boys name ( I think she got this one from Milo and Otis) and today for a girl she came up with Mary, Rainbow Dash, or Hannah.

   For Hannah's birthday we played with the dress up set she got from Grandpa and Grandma, had fun in the snow outside, and then Opa and Oma came for her birthday supper.  



Birthday Party January 2, 2014

Birthday Party     January 2, 2014

   We did the girls birthday party before all the Christmas busyness started this year. They got very spoiled with lots of fun presents! The kids ate cupcakes, played, and made candy necklaces.

   That night we went to a Christmas Concert put on by the kids at the school where some of the girls cousins go. It was fun to try find the cousins in the big group while they were singing. After the concert Ben said we should go out for ice cream. The girls thought it was fun to go for ice cream so late, but were disappointed that the Mc Donalds playplace was closed for the night!
