Happy Fourth Birthday Ollie

Making Monster Cupcakes

Inspired by a book that Annie checked out of the library, the girls really wanted to do a baking craft of Monster cupcakes! We invited Harvest over, and we got to work! They came out really beautifully, and ended up being the birthday cake for Ollie's birthday party!

Mountain State Fair 2014: Ride Day (with Harvest & James)

Mountain State Fair 2014: Family Day

Highlights: Leia's "squid hat," the girls using a knitting machine to make a pumpkin, funnel cakes, corn, FOOD!, the bunny show, the girls' fruit ninjas, ... and their winnings (see next post) ...

Leia and Annie Win BIG at the Mountain State Fair 2014

Both Annie and Leia got first place for their entries at the Flower Show entitled "at the beach." They used their Edisto creations to enter into the Mountain State Fair! They both won! Annie even one judges choice! Annie also won first place for crayon, second place for her mixed media flower, and 3rd place for her recycled art. Leia won third place for her colored pencil (and cried a bit when she didn't win more). It was a learning experience this year to see what the judges wanted. Leia entered many other things, and we are sure she'll win even more next year. :-) We were VERY proud! I even had Annie do a "jumpin hug" by her entries to celebrate!
