Big Week

Hello friends and family!

So we've had a pretty big week around here. Ms Maeve Adera turned 6! Yes 6! My baby, my first born baby girl is 6! I can't believe it!

Maeve just LOVED the card that Michael made for her. For my birthday Michael made me a very beautiful special card and Maeve asked him to make one for her on her birthday. Maeve also asked for a cake *just* like the one Gramma Suzy *made* for Daddy.. a chocolate cake from scratch with yes with money in it! Thanks for setting the bar so high on that one Susan!

Maeve woke up to a very special surprise! While she was sleeping Michael and I preformed our usual birthday magic! We used the table cloth (plastic crap) that we've been using since Maeve turned 3 in england!! haha talk about getting one's money worth!!


Maeve LOVES the new backpack Madigan picked out for her!


For breakfast Queen Maeve had swiss pancakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream!

Ahh what a day! She was sent off to school with cupcakes for all her friends and her two teachers Tony and John! I prayed they would let them have them at recess but no, they got them just before coming home for the day! I had to apologize to all the parents for sugared up riled up kids!!

After school we played with Carter and Mel at Carter's (Cooper's) park, picked up Daddy around 5 and came home for homemade pizza, cake and a couple of movies. Barbie and the 3 Muskateers! The girls LOVED the cake and the movie, but the pizza not as much! I have to work on my pizza dough recipe!

Tired little girls got to sleep late and were up early saturday for the AppleBarn Adventure!! We met up with Mel, Monkey, Carter, Uncle Kenny, Auntie Shannon and baby Kara




. We picked 19lbs of the tastiest apples EVER! This year we actually hit the "HoneyCrisp" apple season. There is a 2 week window to get these beauties and we nailed it this year!

Madigan got to ride a pony!!


We played on the airpillow (awesome) picked apples, went on a tractor ride, played in the playground and then came home for dinner, cake and ice cream with some Grandparents! George, Susan, Darryl, Great Granny Grace and her friend Alva came over for chinese food, and a few presents! My girls are so thankful for the gifts given to them they are really lucky little ladies!


sunday brought us to toysrus to spend some bday bucks! Maeve went with a Barbie Muskateer (obviously) and Madigan opted for one of those creepy fur real puppies! They love them!

Now, a HUGE pile of laundry has my name written all over it so i bid you adieu!

Today we went to spend some birthday bucks

yes there are so many wonderful things that are worth mentioning but my absolute favourite is when Maeve opened the card from her daddy and then ran to his arms to say thank you...what a genuinely amazing relationship you all have. I am sniffling as I type this.
I love you all.
