birthday brunch & gifts for girlies

This weekend Sister threw such a lovely party for her twin girls.  One girl loves doggies, the other bunnies.  One girl adores princesses, the other aspires to piracy.  It's amazing (and adorable) how adamantly different they are, yet I love how Sister blended the themes and absolutely thrilled each little girl's heart.  She's such a thoughtful Momma.  I just snapped a few pics, so go over to Meg + Andy for more pretty details. 

A "Princess Bunny" cake (there was also a "Pirate Doggie" cake :)

For gifts, I put together little writing boxes for each girl.  Four may be a tad early for something like this, but they're already really sweet about composing "letters" that Sister transcribes for them, and I fancied it would be a start to encourage cousinly communication when we move. 

I was so happy to find these little boxes at Target.

And I just filled them with a couple choices of stationary, stickers, an envelope of stamps, and these crayons.  {Have you seen these themed crayons at Target?  There are all sorts of adorable-fun sets}  The whole "box" cost under $10.   An address book would be a natural addition - I suppose I'll get them one when they're just a bit older.

Here's one for the girlie who likes pink and princesses. 

So that was our weekend fun!  We also finally got our house on the market, which means I completely cleaned and took pictures of our Entire House.  It was a definite first and felt like quite the accomplishment.  Looking at all the pictures, I was surprised how much of our home I've never posted about here...some areas I just never got to.  So anyway, I suppose I'll show you the whole thing - bathrooms and all - later this week. ; )  Also finally going to celebrate my boy's birthday on Wednesday.  Ahhh, good times.

Hope you had some weekend fun, too.

love, cailan
