Handmade gifts

I forgot to mention these little "crafties" in my last blog and I'm sort of proud of them :) I love getting something handmade so I assume everyone else will too! For Kyan I made wooden blocks with gnome related pics on them and put them in an old Harry & David fruit box that I personalized with his name.

For Fia I made a doll. It's supposed to look like her. I gave it blue eyes and used ribbon to make curls for the hair. I also used fabric from her old pajama's to make it a little more personal.

I don't know how much Kyan plays with his blocks but Fia loved them while I was making them. She also likes her doll and will play with it when it's laying around, however that doesn't happen much since her big sister Liv loves it more. And just a little FYI, I recommend buying one from . Doll making was SOOOO time consuming and definately takes some experience (I've already mended Fia's doll twice!). Well that was my crafty brag for the day ;)

1st Birthday Gnome Party!

Well Fia and Kyan are officially one!! They had a gnome themed party and it was adorable! There were veggie garden and mushroom cupcakes, gnome pops, acorn kisses, and frog sandwiches. The kids ate on stump tables with toadstools for chairs, and there were gnome finger puppets for all the kids to take home.

I don't know if Fia and Kyan knew what was going on, but they liked the attention and they loved their first cupcake! Here are some cake-face pics:

Next came the presents, but since they were new to all this it was just Darcy and I opening them. With all our family and friends it was a pretty fun party, I can't believe they're one! Time goes by too fast. Good thing we have pics to capture the memories!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIA AND KYAN!
