Here's to a Great Year and Great Friends

And so 2015 is ending and a new year beginning.

What sort of crazy adventures are ahead of us this year??

I can't wait to find out.

It's hard to believe that Piper is turning four

in less than two weeks.

I was hoping to have a different themed party for her this year,

but my little big girl is still a diehard Dora fan.

Soooo... this momma is determined to turn our home

into a Dora shrine for her this year. 

To add a little spin to it, 

I'm adding the Ballet Dora everywhere that I can.

Piper is excited, 

but reminds me that I cannot forget Boots.

And the cake MUST include Boots.

That is proving to be a problem.

I cannot find a cake pan that includes Dora AND Boots.

So, it looks like there will be two cakes this year.

One with Dora and one with Boots. 

Let's hope that lots of guests show up to help us eat all of that cake!

And Miss Elliotte will be turning two in just two months.

It's a shock to me that my baby is already going to be TWO.

It's a shock to everyone else that we know that she's ONLY going to be two.

This little chatterbox refuses to believe that she is not three,

so she does everything that a three year old would do.

We haven't decided on a birthday theme for her yet,

but I'm thinking of kitty cats. 

We are not a cat family,

but for some strange reason

our littlest Lynch loves them.

Happy New Year to anyone reading this post.

May 2016 be your best year ever

and may we have a chance to visit with you somewhere other than online.

These photos were taken a few days ago,
but what a better way to end the year than with your best friends?
Piper and Sylvie love each other.

And these two are becoming fast friends.
A little slower than the others,
since Elliotte is too busy chasing the big girls! :-)

We have succeeded in turning our basement into an indoor fun play land.
Let's hope that this helps us get through the long cold winter
with Mommy's sanity intact!
