Today Safia turned 4! I worked my buns off cleaning my house to get ready for our group family Family Home Evening. Our intent was to have dinner at 6pm and have everyone over at 7pm. Unfortunately, the ignitor plate in my oven cracked and I wasn't able to cook my dinner in my oven. I had to run it over to my visiting teacher's house. We ended up starting dinner at 7pm. Just before dinner I caught Safia and Beauchene in my linen closet. They had unloaded 3 full shelves of bath and hand towels, sheets, and blankets. It all got shoved into my bedroom and we went on with our evening. Nate and Candy didn't show up until about 7:15 and then Amanda and Jake didn't get there until about 7:25 as we were cleaning up from dinner. So, we had our FHE, then we sang Happy Birthday, then at our banana nut muffins with chocolate chips (yum!) and then Safia opened her present. It turned out to be a fun evening. After everyone left, Matt and I put the kids to bed and cleaned up another one of Safia's infamous messes. We finished just in time to watch the season premiere of "Medium." That's one of our favorites. (Side note: Matt was able to find a replacement part online to fix my oven.)

Happy Birthday Safia!!! From your Uncle D, Aunt Joann, and family!
Happy Birthday to our favorite mess maker! I LOVE chocolate & bananas together - yummy.
i have to smile at them attacking the linen closet - it's one of my kids' favorite haunts, too. we also have our dvd collection in ours, which only makes it worse.
Sounds like a lot of fun?!? Nothing ever goes easy does it? Cute pictures. Looks like she enjoyed her birthday.
