A pet and a party

Over the weekend my mother-in-law came home from Utah. Along with her she brought Sophia a new pet. Well, it isn't exactly alive though. She brought her a ZhuZhu pet. I'm not sure if you are aware of just what this thing exactly is......
It's name is Jilly. She is a pink and white hamster. She moves quite quickly and makes noise. It's almost like she is alive.

Sophia has had a blast playing with Jilly. She made Jilly a little bed out of an ice cream pail. In it she put one of her baby doll blankies and pillows so Jilly could, "get a good night rest". It is quite hysterical to watch her with this little thing. She also found out her friend Ava had two of them and a track for them to play in so the girls had a movie playdate and watched Tinkerbell with popcorn and played with their pets.



We also went to a party over the weekend. Our niece Abby Wickman turned 2 on Sunday. The party was Saturday and the weather held out. It was a bit breezy, but nice enough to be outside and enjoy the sun with jackets on. Sophia had a great time playing with all of the toys in the yard.

It was a wonderful weekend and I'm really glad that the weather is starting to get warmer and less windy. On to a beautiful week outside!
