The Birthday is the Valentine....

This is Georgia.  She is our second daughter but fourth baby.  Her birthday is on Valentines Day!  I cannot think of a better birthday to have.  Here is her start and our start with her.  What stands out most about Georgia is the happiness that exudes from her person.  She cannot help but be happy.

Our family then.  We've almost doubled the children we have, since she was born.  Who are these people?  Especially me...that after labor look for sure.  I love it.

There's the happy one.  We call her "Bearny B."  Don't ask me why, it just comes to me, these things.  :)
She was playing with my shoe, this says a lot about her.  You can see what I mean here.

Sisters.  Is there anything more precious?  My oldest daughter Gwyneth is holding her sister, Georgia.

Precious and long ago, so it seems.

This is one of our favorites ever, for sure.  We sent this out as a our Christmas card.  Georgia is the wicked witch.  My mother in law whipped up that dress I'm wearing in about an hour, along with Georgia's hat and cape.  It just cracks me up, looking at that fat baby as the wicket witch.  My son Kalen and my husband were good sports about this, as they both hated their costumes.  Hahhahahaha.  So sorry, men.

The "B Bop" (I also call her this), with maybe the closest to looking sad face she's ever made.  She can't even really do a sad face, she's trying but not really making the cut.

Here she is today, well the back of her.  I did her hair like this for church on Sunday.  She has to be all about love, and hearts and red and pink since her birthday is the official love day.  She has to represent, is what I'm saying.

Our home school group had a Valentine exchange at the park.  We kicked it off with heart bark by Val at ValSoCal.  So easy and so darn cute.

Sugar cookies, lots of sugar cookies.

Wherever there are mass amounts of sugar if I have anything to do with the moment there will be something with whole wheat.  I made these to counter balance the "other" treats.  These are the kids favorite.  Whole wheat banana and blueberry muffins.  I eliminated all the of the sugar since it has both bananas and blueberries in it.

These are two of Georgia's favorite friends.  Check out their names....from the left it's Isabelle, Georgia, and Hazel.  Precious.

Here is the actual love day and birthday.  They woke up to the mirror of love.

This was Georgia's present from us.  These are the most fantastic artsy, jewelry beads ever!!!  My kids can sit and play with these for hours and they did.  I had to pry them away to start their studies.  Yes, even my eleven and half year old son.

She got this cute watch from her older brother Reece and older sister Gwyneth.  I have to mention this because they saved their good behavior tickets they get at the end of their Taekwondo lessons.  It took them about a month.  They had this planned way ahead of time.

My heart rejoices when my children think of each other and serve each other.  Because goodness knows they don't always, that's just harder to document or I would, trust me.

Here are some of her jewelry creations.  I can see these selling at Nordstroms...better yet all over Beverly Hills in general.   :)

Shane chose to wear the faux turquoise necklace one of the girls made.  Very chic and modern, I must say.

These are cupcake toppers left over from last year.  I'm so glad we had more of them because if you ask me, they're the cutest little women ever.

So much love.  Oh Georgia, Georgia.  Do you know that about four in ten people, when they hear her name, and I'm talking total strangers here, just break out singing the Ray Charles song "Georgia?"  She's really use to it, but it was confusing for her at first.

Georgia is a girl's girl for sure.  She loves dress up, jewelry, my high heels, clothing, nail polish, need I say more?  But, she's so sweet and cheerful it just melts my heart.  She's also very willing to speak her mind.  Of course I admire this about her.

Funny and unique things about Georgia....

We recently discovered she's not ticklish.  No I mean, really.  You can lift her arm and count her ribs and nothing.  Not normal at all, a rare talent for sure... :)

She dreams almost every night.  She is one of the first to wake and she tells me the most elaborate tales that she's had in her sleep.  So she's a dreamer, not a big surprise.  We love her so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY "BEARNY B!"
