Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

One of my favorite (and least favorite) things about the Church down here in South Texas is that it's relatively small compared to all the other places we've lived. We have 11 units in our stake; 9 of them are Spanish speaking, and TWO are English! Yes people, this is south, south Texas...almost northern Mexico!

Due to the fact that there really aren't all that many kids, all the girls here of all ages are friends and get along so well! We decided to have a girls late night party at our house on Friday night (we sent Trevor to the movies!). We had 13 girls - from 3 to 13 and a great time was had by all!

Let the fun begin! Waiting for more friends to arrive.

Pizza! These girls put down 3 family size pizzas, lot of jell-o, chips, cookies, cupcakes, 6 quarts of lemonade and lots of candy!

Twister!

The big girls painted the little girls' nails.

The Beauty Table

Some of the little girls took a stab at doing the big girls' makeup.

The big girls were such good sports!

Movie Time

Working on the puzzle

Still working....

And finally, just when the brothers arrived, the girls' persistence paid off!

Audra's Style

Three and a half. It's really not the best phase of life for the Cardon girls. We don't have terrible twos. My two-year-olds are sweet. It's my three year-olds. Cardon girls are sweet and sour at this age.

Audra is fitting the mold quite perfectly. Like most little girls, she loves to dress herself. When the other girls were younger, I used to change their clothes before going into public. But, I'm over that now. I mean, who doesn't know that little girls like to dress themselves??!?!? I love that she loves how she looks. I mean, wouldn't you, if you were wearing outfits like this....
