Emily's Birthday is Approaching...

I can't believe that Emily's 13th birthday will be here soon.  If you're interested in knowing what she wants for her birthday, she's helped out by creating a LONG list of her wishes.  As you can see, her interests are fashion, beauty supplies, Twilight books, and a few other fun things.  Here's the link to her wishlist at Amazon:

Claire's Birthday Wishlist

For any of you that needed some ideas of what to get Claire on her birthday, here it is. She'd also love cash gifts to help her toward a purchase of any iPod Touch.

I can't believe Claire is almost 10!

Elissa's New Look

I love that 6 year old toothless look.  The tooth fairy visited Elissa's pillow twice in one week.  Now, poor Elissa has to endure having her mom take a ton of photos of her with this short-lived toothless look.  The permanent teeth will be growing in by next week.  I wish you could hear her say "Than Franthithco."
