We're going on 5 years with the birthday crown. Every kid was supposed to have their own, but as you can see from past pictures every kid gets this one. The past two birthdays have both come on Sundays and they have really been quite relaxing and enjoyable. I like Sunday birthdays.
One of the party goers.
One of the few movies Olivia has actually seen - Tangled. I am actually secretly in love with this move. One of the few Disney has not managed to screw up. Lovely telling of the story. no weird New Age or environmental undertones. Fun music. Actually funny. Sweet ending. Highly recommend it for your next movie night.
Carrying on the tradition of Raggedy's. And while I am recommending - the Raggedy books (the original ones by Gruelle) are fantastic. Most books/movies feel the need to portray children's naturally tendencies toward sin - selfishness, whinny-ness, argumentativeness, etc. Gruelle chose to portray in the Raggedy's the good. Not the good that we are capable in our own strength, but the good that God works in us as we submit to his molding - my conclusion, not Gruelle's. I don't know what his motivation was. But it is nice to read books with my kids that reinforce joy for others even if you lose, sorrow for bad decisions, patience with others short comings, etc.
