Maya's Birthday

Maya's Birthday Weekend 2012

Maya's Birthday Breakfast.  Giant Blueberry Pancakes

Friday, January 13
A giant snowstorm blankets the county.  12-14 inches reportedly fell from Thursday night to Saturday Monring.  Our driveway can verify this. (A blizzard is getting to be standard birthday weather.  No snow on New Years, then the first big snowfall of the year on her birthday).  We were planning on making smoothies with the school friends for her "Special Day Snack", but it was a snow day.
Giant Snowflakes!  SO pretty!

Friday afternoon.  Time to make the cake.

Viola!  Tinkerbelle
Or, a Tinker-fairy-friend, I guess. 
I didn't feel like going out in the blizzard to get a blonde cake doll, 
and Maya did not object! (surprisingly!)
Also - wingless - I forgot to rig up some wings in my haste of getting ready for the party.
What do you think she wished for?
The swim party at the Y was fun.  Thank you to all who braved the snow to come celebrate with us.  Maya had a great time.  Good job to Papa for helping out with the swimming part, as I forgot half my bathing suit!

More January shenanigans.

Papa and Maya are teaching Genna how to jump off the bed.  
The costume is her own idea.

This is Maya's interpretation of a Diego Costume
Genna LOVES coloring!

We've looked at this collection a number of times and continue to admire the way Becky gets the perfect shots... the details of the huge snow flakes, the blueberry pancake as big as Maya's head, the crazy Genna, as well as the studious Genna!


Love those girls!
