An Artistic Birthday Party
12 kids, 12 blank canvases, lots of paint and noise. What does that create? A winning birthday party. Jordan invited her friends to gather at a local canvas art store where they were tasked with painting a sunset with a sailboat. It was a pretty challenging work of art. But the cool thing is they…

Jordan is almost a month into being eight-years-old but that doesn’t mean we’re totally done celebrating her birthday. Jordan has not held very many birthday parties since she’s had the chance to party it up every other year at Disney World. (We really, really like it there. And I promise to write details about our…

Birthdays are awesome. I love them. That’s why I tend to make a big production out of them. Jordan’s been lucky to spend three out of six of her birthdays at Disney World. Each time she’s had a chance to dress up like a princess and celebrate. But until yesterday, she’d never had a traditional…

Jordan is crazy excited and I’m picking up the house like a banshee for Jordan’s first big birthday party with friends. We’re just three days away from her big day and since we’re having it at our house, I’m focused on things being clean so little girls can run around the house without finding strange…

Jordan isn’t all there… but she’s so much better. We’re learning the hard way about what foods work and don’t work… but she was feeling well enough to participate in the world again. Jordan went to a make-up dance class this morning. It was great to see her back to dance. She hasn’t been to…

Jordan got to celebrate her brother’s birthday party along with four other kids from the neighborhood – four boys who spent the night at our house. She had fun… and some how convinced each boy to push her on her swing. (Except for her brother) They all played, danced, ate pizza and had fun. Of…

The birthday celebrating didn’t end when we left Disney World (which by the way – left a balloon and a card signed by all of the major Disney characters in our hotel room the night before we left). We drove 10 hours to Knoxville to visit my bestest friend in the whole wide world who…

Jordan had a BLAST at Cameron’s birthday party. She had to connect herself at my hip when she woke up from her nap (30 minutes into the party)… But once she warmed up to the huge crowd of kids and parents, she was very happy. There are a couple of really funny things going on…

Hanging at a Valentine’s party Originally uploaded by Jen. Jordan had her second Valentine’s Day… This time she got to have a classroom party. She was fashionable and enjoyed the yummy sugar. But thanks to a very short nap, she was pretty darn cranky and clingy when I took her to Cam’s party. Not a…
