Shreveport Holiday Visit - Part 4

By -
I got busy and didn't have a chance to post some more pictures from our visit to Shreveport.  Sunday morning we picked up Southern Made doughnuts (they are heavenly, if you haven't had them) and headed over to Grandaddy's house.  He and Granny B were ready for SG. 
Sarah Graves kept Grandaddy busy reading books, chasing her, tickling, her and generally letting her do whatever heart desired.   
Grandaddy had this toy that we termed her lightsaver.  It looked like a sword and it changed colors and oh did she adore it.  She walked around with it and was so excited to hold it. 

That evening they had some family over to meet Sarah Graves.  She met her Aunt Gwen...

and fell in love with Gwen's husband, Louis.

Granny B's son Steven liked her pretty well and she like him.  She has a thing for men...this could be a concern.

She met her Uncle Mike.  She liked him a lot and enjoyed playing with him, but when it was time for a photo, she didn't want him to hold her.  Women are fickle from the start.

Aunt Ardie and Uncle Joe were happy to play with her.  We told her all about her cousin Austin who will be arriving in March.  She didn't get it that the kicking in Aunt Ardie's tummy was Austin telling her hello. 

We really enjoyed visiting with everybody and are so glad that Grandaddy and Granny B invited them to com and hang out with us.  Plus, they made some yummy food for us all to enjoy.

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
