Cutie little Girls

I have a wonderful friend Kristy Skoy is a bow maker and she did a wonderful job putting together these bows to match my girls Easter dresses for $5 each what a deal (she took them to the store and had each color of the dress matched!!!!!)  They turned out so cute.  Here is the preview.  

Lily loves her sister to death :) We tried to get her to hold Taylor around the waist but the neck was so much easier.

Lil Bug

Our little Lily is vain.  She knows she's pretty and she wants to hear she's pretty, (especially from daddy).  Today we were getting ready for the day and after she got out of the shower (yes, the shower she has found a deep appreciation for the shower and I appreciate that there is far less water on my bathroom floor) I asked her if she wanted pig tails or curls. She said, "Curls, curls pretty."  And well lets face it now that Mommy has taken the intense time to figure out how to do the curls it is much easier then anything else.  Lily then runs into the living room for her hair basket and we sit down.  I comb her hair and she pulled out the mousse and said, "Mousse please" Okay we did the mousse then she pulled out her hair spray hands it to me and says, "Mom I cover my eyes."  We do the hair spray and then she frantically looks through the basket and looks at me very distraught and says, "MOM, WHERE'S MY BOW?"  Of course we promptly run to her room were she informs me that she must pick it and puts in her pink polka dotted bow.  After this wondrous charade she says, 'I go look in the mirror.'  We go to my room for the full length mirror and I asked "Are you pretty?" her reply with a smile, "Yup, I pretty!"

Princess for a Day

Lily just had her 2nd  birthday and to celebrate she got to be a princess for a day. (If you ask her she's always a princess but she got extra special treatment for her birthday.  She started her day with a luxurious bubble bath that was untainted by anyones presence.  This is the only smiling picture I got of her since she was having to much fun to even look at me.

 

She also got a princess jewelry kit that had a crown, necklace and earrings.  Well the picture explains it all. . . 

Owen had a lot of fun with it much to his fathers dismay.  We won't tell him that Owen always puts on the heels and runs around the house when he's not home.  

We had a princess cake but the only pictures I have of it our on my mother in laws camera so those will have to wait.  It was made with the help of Desi Richards a cake decorator in our ward.  It was delicious. So moist, so sweet it was the first cake at a Porter family gathering that was completely eaten. 

We also did the Porter snow party with Lily's birthday and the kids had a blast.  Well, Taylor had no clue it was a snow party because she was inside the whole time but Owen and Lily stayed outside for hours without whining or anything.  When asked if they wanted to come inside though they both said yes without question and never asked to go out again.
