sugar and {spice}

i don't know how i got so lucky, but within the same week i got to see four of my all-time fav little girlies.

ella + audrey {my sweet little cousins from north carolina} were up visiting for thanksgiving, and last monday night danny and i got to go over and play with them while tom and greta went out to dinner. ella was loving her pink unicorn that she got because she earned five stars for going potty {at least that's what she told me}. and audrey is the cutest little chatterbox. i couldn't understand a word she was saying, but goodness her voice is cute.

then, on wednesday, mariah + laney came to visit!! bekah came up early with the girls so mike could focus on all of his finals, and bekah took off for the week for her "sister's conference" down in arizona. so the girls have been staying with my parent's for the last week. i got to watch them while mom was at class...what fun! i've missed them so much--it's amazing how fast they grow! laney is now walking and talking...and mariah is even more of a princess. {i asked her how her flight was from oklahoma and she said "oh it was just perfect!" thanks to fancy nancy her vocabulary is quite exquisite.}
