Finally!
I like how it's almost April and there are photos in this post documenting Christmas. That's neat. When we left off, my sister and her family were just getting ready to head home to Pennsylvania after a long stay in Utah. :( It sure was fun to have them here! Here's a photo of my (orphany-looking) kids with their cousins: December also brought us a six-year-old! I told Amanda that I wanted her to start aging backward now, because six is WAY too old. She was not amused. As I mentioned before, Amanda requested a CandyLand theme for her birthday party.

Tall round cake was the winner... The moment of truth... I must say that creating all these layers was a bit of a painstaking process. But when we cut the cake and a squeeeeeal rose up from all the little girls when they saw the rainbow on the inside....
