Kate's 2cnd Birthday...

We celebrated Kate's 2cnd Birthday on December 27. She opened her presents from us in the morning and then we had her party at lunchtime. She was thrilled to keep getting presents. We had lasagna and cake for her party. She loved her elephant cake and picked out all the yellow table decorations herself. We made the big cupcake cake for her again and then made cupcakes for the guests. We also made elephant shaped sugar cookies for favors. She got lots of neat presents and it was cute to see her able to do it herself this year. Happy Birthday (belatedly on this blog) to our big 2 year old!

Songs that are inappropriate for a 2 year old

but that sound so funny coming out of their mouths! Womanizer is Katie's current favorite. Mind you I am quite sure that the 8 year old and the 5 year old don't know what it means either. Thanks Britney!

The End! She just couldn't stay up any longer. Look at her little hands!

Waiting patiently

We had a great Christmas here. We were actually able to see all our family in one day. The girls got the most wonderful gifts. We are very lucky to have such a generous family.

Here is my favorite pic from before the chaos began. They were verrrrry patiently waiting at the top of the stairs so that I could video them coming down and seeing all their presents.
