December Days

After Kaitlyn's birthday, we settled in to the Christmas season.  First we put up the tree, haha. I know some of you think I'm crazy for not already having it up but
1. I was busy
2. All I could see was a rainy day confining 12 little kids in my house with the extra hazard/ annoyance of them possibly destroying my tree or some sentimental decoration on said tree.
3. I wanted the focus to be on Kaitlyn's birthday, not Christmas. Especially since we had to cancel her Alabama birthday party last year due to sickness making its rounds in our house/ impossible schedules for the rest of the month.
All of that to say, don't judge me. HAHA.

So anyway, we had a great Christmas season... until we all passed the stomach bug around that is :/  O well, here are the pictures. I know that why the grandparents read all this anyway...

Candy canes were first one the tree. The girls were dying to start decorating but I wasn't ready to set them loose with the real ornaments. I remembered the candy canes and they saved the day... or at least the time until dinner was ready ;)

I just love her :)

And I love my Addison!!

The clustered ornaments made me smile. I have a feeling this will be our last year for this :( Addison really caught on to the fact that they are "supposed to be" spread out all over the tree. I probably should have kept that to myself.

Cutest sisters ever! I was/ am in love with those jammies too. So cute and comfy feeling!

December is all fun and games until (2) someone(s) go for well checks ;) Thankfully Laura, the best nurse ever, came to the rescue with ring pops for both of them. Chick fil a helped them to recover too, haha.

Does it get any cuter than that?

Or sweeter than this one?

Christmas day pictures coming soon!

Kaitlyn's Birthday

Our sweet Kaitlyn turned 2 this December!! She was trying to convince us that she was really turning 3 but we could not be fooled ;)

The birthday girl had a fun filled day but first we started off with cupcakes for breakfast of course!

Just a couple hours later we had lots of friends over for Kaitlyn's special birthday party. She had a Wonder Pets party but she didn't seem to care all that much about the theme ;) 

She did enjoy the cupcakes though! The preschool parents among you should be proud of my handiwork, haha.

The weather was absolutely GORGEOUS so we took full advantage and did pretty much the whole party outside. Everyone had fun, the kids could run around and be crazy to their hearts content and cleanup was a breeze- perfect party!

I adore this picture of Kaitlyn :)

No party is complete without presents is it? Her party must have been extra complete- she made out like a bandit!

All in all it was a great day... I'll bet you'll never guess what she had for dinner that night.

ICE CREAM!!!

Yes, we did try (not too hard) to get her to eat real dinner first but when you look this cute AND it's your birthday, you get the ice cream regardless of the fact that you took one tiny bite of dinner :))
