Cakewrecks!

This blog is seriously funny. I think I just spent an hour laughing at all of these. I will admit that Jamie had to explain one to me (I won't say which, okay fine, it was the one pictured below) but when I got it, seriously, I laughed so hard I cried.

My Silly Family

I am the main photographer in our house. And as such I generally know what to expect when I download pictures from the camera. However every once in a while I get a surprise photo that I had no idea was on there.



This one made me laugh, and I thought I would share it. The other surprise photo I just downloaded involves a totally naked 2 year old vacuuming the play area. I left that one off for obvious reasons.

Happy 2nd Birthday!

Okay, so I'm finally posting Kaiya's birthday. Sorry for the delay; Jen threatened to blog about K's birthday before I did and she has restrained herself exceptionally well, so almost a month later, here we go.

One of Kaiya's favorite things to do is read, and some of her favorite books are the "Fancy Nancy" books, so we decided to have a Fancy Nancy themed party this year. We put up balloons & streamers and hung big butterfly & daisy cutouts from the ceiling. We started out by reading the original Fancy Nancy book, and then gave all the girls tutus and the boys blue and silver shields. We ate some lunch, including sandwiches with frilly toothpicks, because Fancy Nancy says it makes them taste better. Then the kids went outside and played with a bubble machine we got for the occasion & basically ran off some of their energy.

Then the kids all came back in and we decorated crowns with jewels & stickers.


Kaiya worked really hard on hers...

After crowns we had birthday parfaits (a Fancy Nancy favorite). Of course Kaiya had 2 candles in hers.


When it was time to open presents, Kaiya got a lot of fancy things, that she really likes!

I think my favorite present for Kaiya was this lovely real rhinestone tiara (I know, I'm sure you're all shocked).

However sometimes being the center of attention can be difficult


But in the end, after the party (and the nap) are all over, the most fun part is playing with your new toys, with your favorite people.
