We had a great weekend. Mary made us laugh when we went to the bank. She wanted some money so Rich offered her a $5 bill and she didn't want it! She wanted real money, coins! So we got a gold colored dollar coin. She was thrilled. We both smiled and just thought of the simple joys of a 4 year old. On Saturday Rich made a wonderful Rib Eye Roast for dinner. We ate mid afternoon. Later in the evening I made bread sticks coated with butter, cinnamon and sugar. I made the dough in our bread maker, so they were really fresh and really yummy. I also worked on a couple of pages in my scrapbook. They were of our Christmas activities this year. I just love the Smile Box website for doing scrapbooks. I make a 7 or 8 page electronic scrapbook and then print one page to put in my scrapbook and then burn a DVD of it and make a label for it and put it in the book, so we can play the full length scrapbook pages on the TV. I also include cards or other memorabilia connected with the holiday or event that I am scrap booking about. I started doing this when I had filled up Mary's baby book. I did a scrapbook/baby book for her up until she was three. Now I just do the holidays and special events that we do as a family. Here are some of the pages I have done in the last year.
On Sunday after church we went to a birthday party for one of Mary's little friends in Sunday School. They had it at a local pizza parlor. Mary really enjoyed the rings in the gift bags that they gave to all the kids. She also enjoyed playing the arcade games with her dad. I think dad enjoyed it to!!

It does look like you all had a ball. We have also learned that when we give Trey coins it means so much more than bills.
I love all Miss. Mary's rings. Oh, the scrapbooks are beautiful. I have never got into scrapbooking. I just print off the blog book once a year.
Hope you have a great day!
Elena, you have a lovely family. Mary is a cutie. I live in Oregon too. I live in Mcminnvile.
What a wonderful treasure you have not only for you all to enjoy now, but to be enjoyed for many years. Elena you do such a beautiful job with the videos and of making your photo book.
Mary is really growing up so fast, and I know she continues to bring so much joy to you both. I aways enjoy my visits.
Hugs,
Sue
