January 2002 A colorful box from Grandma Donie... |
 Craig, Leann, and Nicole drove up for the party |
 I don't know why, but little kids LOVE party hats |
 Jordan and Nicolr swinging |
 Party guests start to arrive - Mallory and her Mom |
 Mara and her Dad, John |
 Mason! |
 Lighting the candles |
 Getting ready to blow out the candles |
 Trying to blow from down low doesn't work so good |
 Here's a better angle! |
 All the kiddos took the cake outside |
 opening more presents |
 Puffy Stickers! |
 a present from Mason |
 Momentarily distracted by the previous present... |
 Mallory (she's FIVE already) steps in to help re-focus Jada on the task |
 and Mason helps her open - a cool wind-up train! |
 Jada says, "Enough of that...on to the next one!" |
 I like playing with my camera - shooting from way down low |
 Jada got LOTS of new art supplies |
 As the party winds down, Mama sports a new hat |
 All done! Time to relax in front of the TV for a bit. |
 Jada in her birthday hat and birthday suit |
 Sitting pretty! |

February 2002 Another day, another fancy-schmany tea party... |
 Would you like to join us for crackers and 'tea'? |
 Mama and Jordan playing dominoes |
 'helping' in the kitchen |
 Jada likes to help too |
 What, me make a mess? Never! |
 One day, I was asked to come into Jordan and Jada's room... |
 and what I saw... |
 both amazed and petrified me! |
 Jordan is quite the acrobat, |
 and not very afraid of physical activities. |
 Check out this, as she goes into... |
 an auxialliary bounce! |
 Amazing. |
 Uncle Scott sent a cool present for Jada's birthday |
 but I think Jordan played with it more than Jada |
 Jada liked it too. |
 Double Sink Bath! |
 They're not going to fit in there much longer |
 Valentine's Day |
 Mama got the girls some dresses, |
 and some sweaters, |
 and they liked them quite a bit. |
 Here are Jordan and Jada being very sisterly. |
 I can never seem to get... |
