I’m a bad mom – this is over a month overdue. Sorry! Here’s a recap of the happy event, anyway!
Molly’s bday fell on a Sunday, so we held her big family party on Saturday. We were so happy that Ben’s grandparents were able to come. Ruthie and David came down from Ogden (we LOVE that they live so close!) and Liz and Jon even flew out from San Fransisco! It was the first time we’d met Jon (officially) and it was about time! It was so much fun having them visit!
Molly had a blast opening her gifts! Everyone was so generous, THANK YOU!
Here are the cakes I made her:
And a birthday blog would not be complete without pics of Molly doing serious damage to her cake!

2 days ago we were running around in capris and sandals. TODAY….it snows! We took advantage of this late winter storm and built a snowman for Family Night. Anna had a blast and Molly was NOT thrilled.
Note the carrot nose – we dug it up from last year’s garden!
Molly calmed down and enjoyed a few turns on the slide.

This is what I found one afternoon when I went up to my bedroom during nap time. Earlier I had heard Anna escape from her room, but I assumed she had just come out to use the potty, or get some water. I was busy doing laundry and when I made it back upstairs she had returned to her room already. But…this is Anna, after all, my very particular 2 year old. She had decided it was necessary to leave her room during nap time to hang all of Molly’s new socks on Ben’s wastebasket. I guess the thought of them in a disorganized pile in the hallway was enough to keep her from falling asleep.

The bows came! The bows came! They are so cute. They are all custom to match dresses I have for the girls this summer.
Here are the bows – yes that is Molly’s hand reaching in to grab one. I did manage to get a pic without her hand, but I think this picture is just too cute not to post.
Here they are with their matching dresses.
2 bows for Anna’s piggies and 1 bow for the top of Molly’s little head! The dresses are gifts from Auntie Emily, who spoils them rotten!
This is Anna’s dress, an end of season Gymbo steal last year!
A couple of Molly’s sundresses. The cute bee bum one is thanks to Grandma By! Gotta love Carter’s sundresses!

I’m not a huge blogger – obviously my updates on here are sporadic at best and I follow a few blogs on google reader. My friend Carrie told me about this blog – http://simplemom.net/ and it happens to be the only non-friend or family blog I subscribe to! Anyway, they’re giving away these “mommy cards” and I think they look pretty cool. Check it out!

I have to take a second to brag about my manly do-it-yourselfer husband. First off, just before the New Year he replaced the fan in our broken fridge all by himself. Luckily the temperature outside was perfect for using the back porch as a temporary fridge. One bonus to this unexpected problem was that I was forced to clean my fridge! It’s all shiny and new looking now :)
Ben gave me a surprise New Years present this year – a puzzle board!! He wasn’t even expecting to do it, but he had the idea on Friday and after some online window shopping, decided to try to make one himself. He went to Home Depot, and after an hour or so of work, ta da! We now have a beautiful home made puzzle board! Thanks honey!
