Mara spent the afternoon playing with her cousins Lori and Gracie while John and I went to a movie. She helped them decorate the cupcakes for Myra's birthday celebration later that night. Actually, she put frosting on one cupcake and then decided to help herself to straight frosting.

Mara definitely takes after me. Even in the middle of winter, one of the first things she does when we get home is take off her shoes. She loves to be barefoot even if it's really cold.

We honored my mom's birthday today by having dinner at Olive Garden – one of my mother's favorite places to eat. the kids enjoyed it as well, and Mara got to have two of her favorite foods – cheese and spaghetti.

Mara and I had to go to Braum's today to get some milk and juice. Mara insisted on picking out the juice and carrying it up to the counter all by herself. I was afraid she was going to drop it, but she made it. She just needed me to help her put it up on the counter.

We decided to pack for our trip to Oklahoma tonight so hopefully we can get an early start in the morning, and all of the cats (plus Mara) insisted on helping us. Since it's just a quick trip, it didn't take us too long to pack. The biggest issue we had was that it's going to be close to 80 tomorrow (down here at least), and then the high is only going to be in the 30s and 40s the rest of the weekend. Gotta love the weather in Texas and Oklahoma.

We traveled to Stillwater today and spent some time with John's grandma. Mara wasn't too sure when we first got there, but she really warmed up to her Grandma Gwin by the time we left. Hopefully we'll be able to make it back up there again soon and spend some more time with her. Before we went to see her, though, we stopped at Eskimo Joe's for lunch. Mmmm. Bacon cheese fries.

Mara and Kyann helped get breakfast ready today. Tonight, we lined up all of the kids on the loveseat to get some pictures of them in their PJs. And only in Oklahoma will you see them drilling for oil as you walk out of Toys R Us.

Mara and Kyann had a lot of fun playing together this weekend. This morning, they decided to play dress up. Then, when it was time to leave, they kept giving each other hugs.

Mara has really become interested in dressing up recently, and tonight she decided to put on her Ariel costume – complete with crown and Snow White "glass slippers." :)

Mara contributed today's picture. I picked her up at lunch today since an ice storm was supposed to come through in the afternoon, and on the way home she decided to take some pictures with my camera. This is a picture of the tag on one of her cloths. She always needs at least one cloth (along with her kitty and blanket) to go to sleep, so she takes them all to school with her each day
