we had another fun-filled family day! grandma tappy and grandpa gary came over this morning to visit for a little while. so did kari and bella! the kids had fun playing for a bit before nap. everyone came back over as soon as the kids got up from nap. malloy and bella did their usual mommy and baby routine and then played dress-up. then it was time for dinner! we all went out to millitello's for dinner and then antoinette's for ice cream because malloy and rex filled up their happy jar!!!! hooray!!
when we got home, the kids got ready for bed - even bella! it's malloy's first sleepover! she is beyond excited and has been talking about it for days! today we were talking about it and when i told her that bella was not sleeping in her bed, she burst into tears! the girls read books and sang songs together before bed. then they said goodnight and went to bed - malloy in her room and bella in the playroom. they are very excited to get up and have popcorn and watch a movie in the morning!

coloring. apparently she'd rather be safe than sorry!

we filled the happy jar!
