My Birthday Girl...is NINE!!! (almost)

Kaitlyn had a very fun birthday party on Friday night. Dinner at Pizza Hut and then a sleep over... It was great to see her have so much fun! Last year was a mom n' me trip to Chicago. Her last birthday party was in October (THANK GOD) 2006, she wanted a nice weather-outside party....who'd have known I would be hospitalized pregnant with Tommy on her actual birthday that year. We should be out of town closing on our house for her real birthday this year...

Kaitlyn BEGGED for this pink cash register....Grandpa Nance had the hit of the presents...she still has a few more presents from family for her real birthday...

Random Early December pictures....

First...Tommy hooted and hollered for a FORK....I finally gave in and he "showed" me he could in fact eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a FORK?!?!? He knows what he wants and is persistent...



Yes, silly Rascal gets placed here and waits for Kimberlyn to go potty...true love!


Tommy more interested in his cereal snacking than the cool pillow case his sister MADE him! Kaitlyn came home from her first sewing class and made him this pillow. She made a pillow case for herself at class. Both turned out extremely well...


Tommy peeking out at the Christmas lights...he really enjoys looking out the front windows at ours and our neighbors lights. We cause a traffic jam out there between our two homes being lit up!

O' Christmas tree, O' Christmas tree....

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving weekend....tree hunting, tree decorating and then some...enjoy!
