girl time

last thurs for fall break, matt and i took yani and nellie shopping. we have not been able to spend a lot of time with them lately. they are getting older and have many things they want to do and most of that is with friends. we were happy to get a few hours with them to hang out and do what they love, shop! amber had other plans and we missed her! unfortunately i forgot to take a picture of any of their clothes or yani, her mom picked her up and then i had a little time with anela before she was going to her grandma's house... busy girls!!
anela and i are very alike and i love hanging out with her. she likes things organized and clean and she likes to craft. she is more artistic than me though!
we made a sign like the ones i have been making.

she painted the edges and had to decide what to put on it. she knew she wanted something about love so she picked out the heart paper at ben franklin.
she got to use the cricut. she loves the cricut. i think it would be a great gift for her for christmas (hint, nikki:)
she chose " all in need is love" she loved doing it but was a little frustrated the letters didn't show up very well. very critical of her work, we're a lot alike:)
we had a great day with you girls, we miss and love you! love the jeggings girls!!

I love your signs...I have never seen them made like that before...and the quotes are new to me as well.
I am so happy that you get to spend time with the girls, they are growing so much! It seems like just yesterday that Nellie was running down the aisle in sacrament meeting with her bottle dripping on the floor!
Love you All!

nellie sure isn't a baby anymore :( when i saw her at church on sunday, she looked like such a beautiful little lady...makes me feel like i'm slowly but surely, getting older :(

and thanks again for coming to the blessing...means a lot to us ♥
