it's my girls' world

This Sunday, while we had three of the four grandparents here,  we all went out to brunch- yet another leg of the birthday celebrations. We went to an amazing restaurant called Cambridge Mills. Everyone had a great time but this was the day after Cassia's birthday bash when she got a ton of toys and went to sleep at 10pm. Needless to say, she was very cranky all through lunch. The dessert bar and sugar consumed didn't do much to help the situation! She crashed the minute we left the restaurant.

Mimosas for all

This is what I look like when I don't get enough sleep

At least colouring will occupy me a bit

Guess who did get enough sleep

Yummy cappucino

I told them to smile and this is what they did

My dad thought this was ice cream and topped it off with what he thought was custard. Instead it was yogurt topped with butter

THe backlight is killing this pic. Happy Birthday Cranky Cass!

Happy Birthday Sweet Cassia!

 Four years ago, our lives changed forever. After 36 (yes, 36) hard hours, we were so happy to have a daughter and we are so proud of the playful, kind, sassy, beautiful little girl you are becoming. We laugh daily at your comical nature and we smile at your sweetness. We are amazed at how quickly you learn and how many questions you ask. We hope that the next year of your life is one blessed with health, happiness and learning as you enjoy many different adventures!

Here's a look at you in this past year.

My sweet Cassia had her 4th birthday party today- it was a 'Princess Party" at a local craft and pottery studio. Those who know me well and have heard my diatribe on princesses would find my caving in to this party quite amusing but she and her friends had a blast. They coloured, decorated crowns, played dress up, had a princess parade, played party games, painted wings and had way too much sugar... let's just say there were some very happy girls!

So excited for the party
