Spa Night

While the boys were out fishin Emerson and I had some GIRLY time!!

We whipped up some face makeup by mixing baby shampoo and dab gel food coloring. 

 Her dolls got the FULL treatment! 

I’m so thankful I have a little lady in my life!!  Her enthusiasm for girly things is so much fun.   

I’m not sure if her dollies appreciated their make-overs, but Emerson sure enjoyed every single second.

Little Porridge Party

Our little porridge party for TWO!

 

My motto is that if we have an extra 20 minutes, we have time for a PARTY!!  

 Summer-time is officially PARTY-time.  

 I love the silly and sweet moments we celebrate everyday.
