Dance recital

Monday the girls had their dance recital. They were so cute! It was fun to watch them. Savannah was quite the performer and Paige actually danced (a little). Here are a few pictures from the big day and a couple of short video clips

Here they are with their flowers from their Dad.

Lydia turns 2!

Lydia turned 2 yesterday! To celebrate we had a party Sunday with grandparents, aunts/uncles, and cousins. Then on her birthday we just had a small family party. She was so cute and loved all her presents.

In this picture Lydia is wearing a shirt her Aunt Amy & Uncle Andrew got her. It says "I'm all smiles". I love it!

She also received a shirt from her Grandma & Grandpa Malan that says "Happy Day". It couldn't be more perfect.

Since she LOVES Dora she received several Dora presents- pajamas, dolls, movies, dishes, soccer ball, books, and this Dora Vanity that Jordan and Jenna gave her. All the presents were a hit!

I made her this little bunny for her birthday. I got the pattern at wee wonderfuls.

When we started singing Happy Birthday to Lydia she started singing. It was so cute! We were upset that we didn't record it, but I love this picture because you can tell she's singing. I tried to recapture the moment by making another cake for her real Birthday and we recorded singing Happy Birthday to her again, however she did not sing. Some moments can not be duplicated....However we did get this clip of her blowing out the candles. They appear to be trick ones, but they are not.

A few things about Lydia at this age.... She loves to talk. She babbled far more than our older girls, and now talks in complete sentences. She also loves to watch TV. I restrict her to 2 shows/day, or else she'd sit there like a zombie all day- these shows are almost always Dora. She likes to be read to (again Dora books) and loves music and dancing to music with her sisters.
