Hailey Drew Me A Picture

And she gave me a sparking gem rock

Blakely Starts to School

Blakely is becoming a big girl.  She will be three in April.  But now she is starting School.   I think the back pack is bigger than she is.

Happy Seventh Birthday, Carson

This is the year for Birthday trips in place of childrens birthday parties at the Collier house.   Ava's trip was several weeks after her birthday when they went to the water place in Pigeon Forge.     She waited for Sydney and Blakely to arrive before she had her birthday trip.  I saw no photos of that event.

Carson's birthday trip was to be a big surprise.  His parents teased him they were going to the swamp....lots of allegators.  But here there are.  The real surprise was their first trip to Disney in Orlando.    Have a wonderful time Carson and Happy 7th Birthday to you.

Hailey Turning Twelve February 7th

Often we don't see Devin and Hailey on their birthdays, so we try to arrange our own little get together sometime during birthday season.  This was the tiny celebration with Hailey  the Friday before, (Feb 3rd).(Ken had gone over and taken Devin, Kevin and Hailey out for lunch on Devin's birthday.)  But for Hailey, Nana got to participate a little bit.    We started out with a date at the movies.  We saw HUGO in 3-D and it was a great experience.  All of us loved the movie and I think the 3-D made it special.   The Scharpfs were going but got the stomach virus.  They missed a great movie .... another time.



Papa's IPhone tried first

  I don't know why I had forgotten about the importance of camera.   But I finally remembered I had the Fuji in my purse.

 

Hailey's first experience with a Monte Cristo.....



Happy 12th Birthday Sweet Hailey Grace Scrivner

 Our little get together ended up with a bag of goodies from Old Navy and some undies from Justice Store.  I bet you are not surprised that Hailey took half of her dinner home in a box.
