Happy Birthday Mia!

This past week has been busy and full of fun. We have been getting Jayda and Halle ready for school. They both go to meet their teachers and have a tour of the school. They are both super excited for school. Good thing Mia's bday is this week. She has been a little neglected with the school thing...so she got plenty of attention for her birthday. Auntie Angie came in on Thursday night while the girls were asleep, so they got to wake up to her being here. Mia was so excited to wake up and go jump on Auntie Angie's bed, and that is just what she did. :) Friday we started out by taking our usual "Olive Garden" trip, which was so delicious and fun.




Then we went to James Avery for my sister to get Halle a charm bracelet. She gets the girls a charm bracelet when they start kindergarten. Jayda got a school house last year (for a charm)...Halle got to pick hers out and she picked out...guess...a laptop! ha! But she loves it. Then after that, we had to do some shopping for the party. So we got some groceries and then I made a delicouse pork salad for dinner. (I got the recipe from where else? (www.picky-palate.com) After all that we were pooped, and ready for bed. On Mia's bday, we did a little more shopping and decorating and then waited for the party at 2 pm. Here's the invitation


We swam, ate lunch, opened presents and had some yummy cake and icecream. It was really fun and she got some great presents. We really had a great weekend and although we missed being in Utah with the rest of the family and our friends, it was fun here...AND the first time we have ever had a birthday party with ALL the grandparents here at one time!

Here are a few pics of the party...sorry no slide show...our internet is crappy and for now...it is too slow. But enjoy these...
