Corrie's 5th birthday

birthday pics

So I turned 3 a few days ago.. and some wonderful people chipped in to get me a big stand mixer  :)  I was actually surprised.  We're still working on the cake, so we've postponed the inaugural cookie mixing until we finish all this delicious chocolate cake!  You can tell it's good by the way that elephant is sinking.. Corrie and Mary also painted some scenes for behind the 'birthday chair' (a Peterson tradition of sorts).

Corrie's b-day

She had a big fun-filled day! We took turns (well, tried) with her new swing, wheelbarrow and dirt digging tools, wagon rides, and this floam stuff: The real homemade strawberry cake and frosting. The strawberries made them both pink! Yumm..

Ice cream cake leftovers, anyone?

Happy Birthday Carrie

We were supposed to take a birthday weekend trip to Granger (grandpa Peterson had one last week) but then Corrie got really sick yesterday :(

If she was born on the 29th, she'd only be 7 years old. Here's to a better day than yesterday!

Corrie made this for me. She said pink was my favorite color..

happy birthday, Mary!

Mary Joy Powell was born this morning at 7:42am, at 7lbs and 5 ounces, 19 inches long.

Funny she waited to be born on Monday, the 29th, just like her sister! Corrie was born at 7:30-something too.

Mary and mom are both doing great; dad just ran home to eat brunch and pick up the rest of the family at the house...
