Paper Flowers

We had a busy weekend. Saturday we went to a birthday party for my best friend Dave's daughter, Tyler. So we spent the morning at C.E. Cheese. I spent the afternoon organizing Makena's bedroom and gutting it out. It was due for a really good cleaning. Here are some pictures of Makena making paper flowers from the paper flower kit I picked up for her.
