PEO Party

Every year my PEO Chapter gets together for dinner and a star ornament exchange.  We had a great time and I was so proud of how polite and courteous Nora was.

The Thanksgiving Table...

Here is the table for Thanksgiving.  You cna also see our newly redecorated dining room.  I am so loving the orange!

The Wizard of Oz Party..

Every year, Tootie's party is based on her favorite book from the previous year.  This year was the Wizard of Oz. 

The gift bags: stickers, ruby slipper cookies, bookmarks, lollipops, wizard of oz, silly straws, courage medals, rainbow candy, rainbow sun catchers, and bubbles:

Tootie is FOUR!

Tootie's birthday week started off with her climbing into bed with me Tuesday morning and announcing "MAMA!  I am four now!"  She then demanded I comment on how long her legs are now that she is four.

Sigh.

The next request was to go to Target and "Buy some four-year-old stuff".   for her birthday dinner, Tootie chose Red Robin.  No surprise there.

 Grandma's present- SKETCHERS!  (How Tootie knew that they were Sketchers is beyond me.)

 Our gift to her- a blue ballgown for dress-up.

 Meeting Red....

 The "coup de grâce":  after devouring this she promptly fell asleep.
