In Case They Ever Wonder

Aunt Tori and Uncle Derek pulled off another amazing birthday party for Soph! This year's theme was American Girl Spa (and Golf Club - for Jack, Will, and Cole!) Aunt Tori and Uncle Derek's house was covered in red and pink stars and (Sophie's favorite), beautiful flowers, ribbons, makeup, and nail polish! The girls began their visit "checking in" at the spa with Patti-Grams, and changing into their flip flops and spa robes. They then had a hair appointment with Aunt Tori (they could choose, "the Kit," "the Rebecca," "the Felicity" or "the Hope", then a makeup appointment with Patti-Grams, followed by a chance to make their own spa product with me, and ending with their nail appointment and massage from Aunt Hope! Jack and Will played a round of golf outside, followed by Wii Sports Resort inside! Of course, the boys had to have a little spa action, so they got a "shave" before they were ready for cake! Sophie can...

Poor Aunt Tori. She had the job this year (as she has so many other occasions) of trying to help capture our family Christmas photo. I shudder to think how difficult capturing our soon-to-be family of five will be! I think I better learn photoshop! Three out of four... Thanks Soph! This one was actually me! Neither kid looking! Me nor Soph have our eyes open! This one is on Will! Neither boy decided to cooperate here! And the winner is... Yes, I am aware that Soph's eyes are barely open, but look at our options! This is the money shot under the circumstances! Thanks Aunt Tori for your patience and help! Bet you can't wait till next year!
