Shreveport Holiday Visit - Part 2

By -

Our day started off with a visit from Ms. Margaret Anne.  She was excited to finally meet the little girl that she makes all the cute clothes for.  We were excited to show her our little doll and show off the pretty dress that she made.  We are lucky for Sarah Graves to have so many nice things that are made with so much love.



Next it was time to celebrate Christmas with the Dillahuntys.  Everyone came to Ms. Nancy's house to enjoy some yummy gumbo and enjoy all of us being together.  We did our gift exchnge and all eyes were on Sarah Graves as she opened her new toys.  She didn't really catch on to unwrapping the gifts, but she definitely enjoyed the art of shredding tissue paper.  She had so much joy shredding that stuff and nibbling on it!  She received some really cute new toys and has enjoyed just going from one thing to the next. 
Ms. Nancy's huband, Gerald, has a grandson, Jayden, who came to visit too.  Jayden celebrated his first birthday on Saturday and he made a cute birthday boy!  He and Sarah Graves walked laps all over the house and enjoyed testing out each other's new toys.  Jayden was also fascinated by Sarah Graves' hairbow!
 

This was the first time that Sarah Graves met her Uncle Les and from the start they hit it off. 

Gramma came over to see her girl as well.  Sarah Gaves was happy to see her and they shared some giggles together. 

SG posed with Aunt Barbara, Uncle Les, and her new baby, Calin.  She likes Calin a lot and who wouldn't when your baby smells as good as Calin does.  Sarah Graves even offered Calin her paci!

We had a great time visiting with everyone and wish that it could have lasted longer.  There were so many people and so much commotion that Sarah Graves just didn't get to sit with any one person for long.  Hopefully we will get together again soon!

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
