Today

I have a zillion pictures I could load...but the visiting time is too precious to sit in front of a screen....so here are a few and I'll catch everything up later....

This arrived in the mail...The envelope said "Excitement within". It's the acceptance notice to the university of Josiah's choice.
Arielle had fun wrapping all of Stacia's birthday gifts.
Zander and Stacia put the birthday seat covers on the chairs...

She's having a birthday already?? Oh my does time fly! She can't possibly be 2 already is she?

Cynthia said...

Congratulations and Happy Birthday.

And I won't - because I don't want to be that detailed on the blog....it's a local university - known in TX. How's that?

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

Yep - she's two today - but we celebrated yesterday as our friends were here and because the boys and Mike both had time off - not whole days - but enough to make it happen. LOL

I love to see another family that uses newspaper as wrapping paper! I usually try to keep a stash of comics around the house just for that purpose. lol!

What are the birthday chair covers? Sounds interesting! I'm thinking about getting a special "celebration" plate and funny hat too. I saw a kewl looking crown in a recent homeschool catalog that looked fun.

Happy Birthday Stacia!

DeEtta @ Courageous Joy said...

LOL Jen! Ours wasn't even comics. It irritates me to spend $ on things like wrapping paper and cards....but I do for non-family....most the time. ::snort::

I save bags forever and we have some Christmas bags that we use over and over but Stacia got a lot of gifts that wouldn't fit in bags.

I'll see if I can get another picture of the seat covers. They are like a pillow case that slip over the top. They are made of felt and in the shape of cupcakes.....one says Happy birthday and the others are just cupcakes with sprinkles and such. I got them from Oriental trading...but I think they quit carrying them - I think that is what Cindy discovered.

Sis:

NUTS! I was thinking her birthday was the 23rd and so here sits her stuff. Will get it in the mail today.

It's Arielle that has a 23rd B-Day now that I think about it.

HAPPY, HAPPY B-DAY STACIA!!!
