The Girls are Stars!

 Stonehaven partnered with Young Actors Playhouse to produce Big Bad Wolf.  Lily and Mia were cast in the roles of Mary and her Little Lamb; this included using a British accent!  They also sang together too which I loved; they both have such beautiful singing voices.  The cast rehearsed twice a week from October through January.  It all paid off come performance day!
 We didn't want to take a bunch of pictures because we wanted to enjoy the show fully but we snapped a few.




The whole cast.
 After the show, it was picture time!  Here's Mia with her friends Danielle and Faith who were both part of the sheep flock.
 Molly Kate and Nara came to support Lily, Avery, Raegan (with a niece who was visiting), and Zaya.  Alyssa and Danae came too but weren't here for the picture.  These girls are so supportive of each other.
 Nene, Avery, and Lily - the Cambridge house middle school girls!
There was so much excitement afterwards; it was great!
 I'm so proud of our two stars!

January Fun

A few happenings from January...

My heart soared when I walked in to Lily's room to see them watching a movie together on her iPad.  So incredibly sweet!
 Ryan took Mia, Lily, and Lily's friend Emma went to see Frozen 2 in the theater one afternoon.  Our family loves any trip to a theater!
 We brought so much honeybaked ham back from the beach with us which meant really, we didn't have a choice but to make green eggs and ham (plus starfruit and biscuits) for dinner one night.  Thanks Dr. Seuss!
 Ryan and Mia had a very fun daddy daughter date to Chuck E Cheese one evening; Mia won a ton of points!
 Granna and Papa took a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl Parade with Sid and Elaine.  I loved this picture of them, so I had to include it.
 The girls had a lot of fun making sidewalk chalk designs one beautiful afternoon.


 Mia and I had a date night one evening, and she really wanted to make a cake from scratch.  We have a delicious recipe for vanilla cake and cream cheese icing.
 She decided on rainbow layers instead of ombre.
 It turned out so cute (and incredibly delicious)!

 How fabulous is this!
It's a chilly but beautiful and fun month!
