Happy Birthday Jubilee!

 Hi all! Libby here. Jubilee's birthday was yesterday it her party was soooooooooooo awesome!

She had a cupcake theme, which was so creative, but she said she did it cause she loves cupcakes so much.

When I walked in I said "Since I know you love veggies soooooooooooo much, I brought you this giant zucchini for your B-Day! Aren't you happy?!" "Yeah, this is really great, Libby," replied Jubilee, her voice dripping with sarcasm,"Come on, Libby, take that present out from under your shirt." "My friends are all to smart for me! First Liz, (see HERE) then you! I need some better ideas!" I said pulling my present out and giggling.

So after a bit of talking, we played pin the cherry on the cupcake. Jubilee, of course, went first.

"Seriously?! I'm losing? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Just kidding, I don't mind."

Marie was next. I got to spin her. "Okay Marie, you or Addy better win, or else Jubilee will win, and goodness know we can't have that!" "Hey!" "I'm kidding, I'm kidding!"

Addy won.

Here's how it ended up.

Now it's............. "Present time! Present time! Open a present and see what's inside!" "Uh, Libby, that's what I am doing."

Marie-Grace's present was doll clothes.

"Great! I really needed a summer outfit!"

Next came an origami book from Addy which Jubilee says she's wanted "FOREVER!"

Last came MY GIFT!  Best for last!  Not really, but it's fun to say it.

"Second Hand Lions?! I LOVE that movie! We've had to barrow it from the Library till now! Thanks SOOOOOOOO much, Libby!" 

Then we had the cupcakes! Yum, yum, yum! Jubilee told me she and Addy had so much fun decorating these. I can see why, can't you?

Do my eyes look like hard boiled eggs here? I believe my comment was: "Is is elly ood!" (this is really good).

"These are really good if I do say so myself."

 After food, we were going to watch Mayor Cupcake but Jubilee decided to watch Second Hand Lions instead. "Because it's just SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE!" she said.

Oh, and did I mention that this was a campout party? In her yard. It was amazing fun. Jubilee and I had a pillow fight and I'm almost sure we stayed up till 1:00 but not entirely, because Jubilee has lost her watch. I glad I got to go Jubilee's incredible party, but I'm even more glad that God gave me an awesome friend like Jubilee.

Who's your best friend?

 

A great day

 Hi all! A few days ago, ( on Tuesday as a matter of fact, ) Marie and I went down to Aurora to see our good friend Samantha. Her sister Kristen was uh, somewhere else. We left at a little after five in the morning (ugh) to drove down there.

 This is the view from the back porch.

 After finishing our school work, we had tacos for lunch. So delish!

 With peanut brittle for desert! Marie and I don't have desert very often, so this was a real treat!

 Marie showed Samantha the ice states she had gotten for her birthday, ( see HERE )..............

 ...............and Samantha showed us a new book she had gotten for Christmas.

 After that we played old maid with some cards I got for Christmas. Marie-Grace won. So unfair!

 Then, while I a played with a little puzzle I had gotten as a prize in Sunday School, Marie showed Samantha her doll, Maria, and the clothes she had made for it.

 " and I think she's soooooo pretty and I love the clothes you made for her!" "Yes, I would have to agree, she's very beautiful." "Oh! I have the Perfect idea! You could take her outside for a photo shot! Even though it's a bit cold, you could work around that." "Yes, that's a lovely idea, I'll do that now."

 Here is the pictures she took.

 Soon after this last photo shot, it was time to go. After a goodbye to Samantha, we were on our way. Here are some sunset photos Marie took on the way back. Aren't they pretty?

 Once we Finally got home there was another special treat waiting for us. A movie!

 With Popcorn!

We watched "The Sound of Music"! Here are a few pictures we took. And yes, I know they're blurry.
What do you consider "A great day"?

Home alone

 Hello lovely readers! It is true, that a few days ago Liberty and I were left at home while mother and father went to a meeting.

 As soon as I finished my schoolwork, I settled down with a good book.

 Libby however, was not so easily satisfied. First, she tried to call and talk to our cousins who live in Florida.

 After  two tries, Libby decided to practice her cartwheels. As you see, Caramel wasn't much of a help. Finally, she sat down, dejected.

 "Why don't we watch a movie?" I suggested, wanting to cheer her up. "That's a great idea!" Libby exclaimed.

 Very soon, we were huddled in Libby's old quilt before the T.V.

 We decided on watching Narnia, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Just in case you are not familiar with this story I will give you a summery. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent to the country because of the bombing raids on London.

 In the house were they are staying Lucy finds a magical land inside a wardrobe.

 Although it is summer in England, it is winter in this new land.

 She learns from a faun that it is always winter in Narnia. Because of the White Witch. The White Witch commanded this faun, named Tumnus,to turn over to her any human he found, so she could kill it. Mr. Tumnus decides not to turn Lucy in, even though there could be consequences for him. Later, all of the children get in.

 While we watched Libby and I eat some sweet things. I eat  a candy cane.

 Libby eat some of the gum she had got in her boot (See last post).

 Edmund having decided to betray them, goes to the White Which's castle. She is not as friendly as when he last saw her.

 Meanwhile, Peter, Susan, and Lucy have gone to  The King, Aslan and are now staying at his camp.

 Peter.

 To save his sisters Peter kills a wolf and Aslan knights him.

 Susan.

 The next morning, Edmund is back. They all decide  to stay and help free the Narnians from the White Witch.

 They have to practice.

 A lot.

 Then the White Witch demands a meeting with Aslan. She make it clear that  traitors belong to her, and that Edmund will die.

 Aslan says he will sacrifice himself to save Edmund.

 So that very night, the White Witch kills Aslan on the stone table.

 Peter and his Army faces the Witch alone.

 The Army.

 The Witch in her chariot.

 Peter.

 The Witch's general, Otmin.

 Aslan comes back to life and saves them.  Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy become Kings and Queens of Narnia. This movie is a family favorite. Perhaps you see why. 

Do you like watching movies?

Have you ever been home alone?
