It's All About Eden!

Chillin' Eden Style:

Even though she is not prissy, Eden loves all things girly.  She loves putting on her makeup (the white under her eye is to help her "not look tired"), wants her hair down and with a headband everyday if Mom will let her and would love to wear a dress or skirt everyday.  The chubby cheeks are a bad case of grapes!

Workin' Hard:

Eden is Mom's #1 helper!  She helps a ton with Sarai, is Mom's main "goffer", and helps with cooking, cleaning, and folding laundry.  She cooks all the tortillas these days and sometimes cooks 20 or more!  She has learned about using tools from helping Dad with the perpetual remodeling.


Sparkly!

Eden obviously loved doing sparklers this year.  She is such a fun girl with a lot of personality who keeps us laughing and on our toes.

Eden (Camera) Bug:

Eden loves to take pictures!  The self-portraits are particularly lovely!  Imagine this in the days of film!

A few excerpts from a recent interview in her journal:

What is your name?  Eden Bug

How old are you?  Four in a whole.

What is your favorite color?  Purple and pink and blue and black and brown...all of the colors in the world except white because white is not a pretty color.

What class are you in at church?  The very front...the four-year-old class.

What is your favorite toy?  Polly and Chrysanthemum (my bears).

What is your favorite thing to do at home?  Take a bath in my swimsuit...I also like swimming in the swimming pool with Carla and Houston and my life jacket.

What do you like to do with Daddy?  Talk to him and sit on his lap.

What do you like to do with Mommy?  Read library books.

What do you like to do with Noah?  Play the money game (connect four) and pretend to go places in our pretend cars, trucks, and boats.

What do you like to do with Sarai?  Play with her and make her stand up and make her laugh.  When I play patty, patty cake with her it makes her smile.

What do you like to do outside?  Ride my bike and play with friends.

What do you want to be when you grow up?  A mom.

Where do you like to go?  To the grocery store (because it is my favorite candy store and I love getting candy at the end) and to the library to get new books and to the park and the "equarium".
