Sara's Tea Princess Birthday Party II

Today we celebrated Sara's 4th birthday with a beautiful Princess Tea Party. All her friends came dressed up as princesses. Sara was Cinderella, she wanted to be that princess so much and her dreams came true. Sometimes, I realize it is easier to make a little girl's dream come true than for an adult's. I never dressed up as a princess when I was a little girl, besides in Peru little girls don't dress up as much as they do here in the States, so I was kind of excited to arrange her party. Of course, because of the season a couple of her friends couldn't made it because they had the flu, we really missed them. The cool thing about her party is that they used real china and I am so glad they didn't break any of them because they were borrowed from my sweet friend Shawna, for which I am very thankful to her for doing that. Also, Frank had the idea to dress up as a Prince and he was scorting all the little princesses arriving to the house, thank you honey for such bright idea.
This past Christmas we gave Sara a real china miniature tea set and a plastic one, her friends really enjoyed playing with that, having tea and playing. Thanks so much to all the princesses who came, Ana Grace, Emma Ruth, Clark, Natalia, and for their moms for dressing them so pretty

First outing to the Circus

Last Saturday (Feb.12th), we took Sara and Ingrid to the circus for the first time. Sara enjoyed the most, she really liked to see the animals, her favorite ponies and elephants. Ingrid since she is not even 3 got a little tired from time to time. My favorite was the show of the bikers riding inside a steel cage ball. It was cool to see 7 of them riding inside this big ball. Since we got early, we were able to meet some of the performers and take pictures with them.

Girls close up's by Lisa S.

Last friday, the girls and I went for a playdate to Lisa's house. She has a 5 year old, Ainsley (sorry for the spell Lisa). The girls had a good time playing with their puppy and Lisa and I had a good time chatting. I didn't know that Lisa's hobby was photography, eventhough she is not a photographer she does a great job. She was so nice to take some close up of the girls and of me too. Thank you Lisa, we really appreciated it. The photos look great!

24 Weeks and waiting...

I asked my sweet husband last week to take some shots of me at the Joyner Park. Since, we have been taking the girls there to ride their bikes, I thought it was a perfect idea to have some pics of my belly. By the way, it looks huge for me at this time but it is my third child so there is no excuse. Frank did a good job, I think. I had to include a picture of the girls too. I think they look cute with their helmets.

Starting New Year's 2011

We started our first day of January 2011, attending the wedding of our friend Willam Warren and his bride Kristen. They had a nice ceremony at Applebys chapel Southeastern. It was very obvious that William found his soulmate, he couldn't take his eyes off her in the whole ceremony, that was so sweet. Since, the day was nice we took some picture of us on campus.

Playing with their new toys

The girls got their mini computers this Christmas. Sara got a Leapster and Ingrid got a Mobigo. They have enjoyed these electronic things, they can learn many preschool activities. The first day they got, they played for almost 2 hours. Of course, I only let them play for a 30 minutes or so each day or somedays they play outside and they forget about these things. I know these things are good but if they are moderate with their time. Another thing they enjoy to do is ride bikes together.I can't wait for warm weather to spend more time outside.
On New Year's eve, we went out to eat and we had to celebrate that Sara ate a hamburger for the first time in her 3 years and 10 months of live. She is starting to eat better now, Praise God for that!

Nieve por Navidad 2010 (parte 1)

Anoche (Dic.25) empezo a nevar en nuestro condado. Frank, dice que esto es algo inusual por que nunca nieva en Navidad aqui en esta ciudad (Raleigh) de Carolina del Norte. La ultima vez que nevo aqui por Navidad fue en 1947, se imaginan! hace muchos anios atras. Sin embargo, en invierno siempre nieva pero en el mes de Enero no en Diciembre, en fin Dios lo quiso asi este anio. A los chiquitos aca les encanta jugar en la nieve, y mis hijas no son una excepcion. Salieron ayer con su papa a caminar como a las 8pm., cuando empezo a caer la nieve. Hoy Domingo, al salir afuera todo amanecio cubierto de nieve, es una vista preciosa todo en color blanco. La profundidad de la nieve en el suelo es de 8 inches (21 centimetros), es decir cuando caminas en la nieve tus zapatos se hunden completamente. Yo solo sali para tomar unas fotos con mi familia, salen muy bien con la nieve de fondo. Buenos amigos, espero que disfruten y vean como es Navidad en esta parte del globo. Feliz Navidad y bendecido Anio Nuevo. La familia Ellington-Cabrera.
