Faith's Birthday Weekend

We started our weekend with a trip to Grandpa and Grandma's house. The girls were very excited! We had dinner with them and Grandma had made Faith a special birthday brownie. They also enjoyed opening their Halloween purses with special treats.

Grace shows off her light up pumpkin necklace to Grandpa.
Faith opens her birthday present (Footed PJ's & Mattress Protector for her Big Girl Bed)
Grandma Leeanne only had a candle shaped like an eight-we thought that would be funny looking back at photos in the future!

The next day we headed to Papa & Grammy's house for another birthday party. I made Faith an Elmo cake and fettucine alfredo (one of her favorites). My mom filled in all the rest! Nana had a scrapbook retreat at Lamoine, but was able to sneak away long enough to join us to open gifts. So the party ended up being Papa, Grammy, Uncle Cody & Erin, Uncle Kit & Wesley, Aunt Jo Jo, Pop-o & Mom-o, & Nana. I love watching Faith open her gifts. She opens one and then is perfectly content to play with whatever she opens. She sees no reason to rush on the to the next one.

Faith was a bit more reluctant to blow out her candles with everyone watching, check it out in video here.

Faith's Elmo Cake- it had a #2 made out of "crayons."

Below, Faith opens her jewelry box from Nana. Full of girlie jewelry, she LOVES it.

Faith opens up her blanket Grammy made for her bed. Every time she uses it she says, "Grammy." I always say, "Yes, Grammy made that just for you." And she replies, "Tanks!"

Funny Moments

So, I really need to blog about Faith's birthday...its on the list.

But for now two funny moments with the girls.

Grace and I were doing a sticker story book together. She was having trouble getting one of the stickers off. She said, "Mommy, how are we gonna get the sticker off?" Before I could reply she said, "Oh, yeah I forgot you have claws!" (Also known as nails to the general population)

I am sick and had fallen asleep while the girls were napping. Grace came out and informed me Faith had removed her clothes & diaper. I was kind of out of it and before I could go check it out Grace once again came out screaming, "Faith pooped in her bed." Yes, she sure did. There she stood half naked pointing, "mess, mess!" At least she didn't smear it everywhere as I've heard stories of other kids. This was not really funny to me at all at the time. But, I figure I might as well laugh about it, and record it so I can give her a hard time about it later. Grace never went through the stripping off her clothes phase so this is new territory.

Faith Turns 2!

This year Faith's birthday fell on a Monday. So on Monday we celebrated at home, just us. For breakfast we started the day with a special treat, doughnuts. Then that night we had cupcakes in honor of our birthday girl. She was SO enthusiastic to blow out her candles, she blew the first one out before I could even light the second one. After dinner she opened her gifts ( a Backpack from Dora and an Elmo you can put costumes on) We rounded out the night letting them play downstairs in their playroom. They enjoyed dressing up and dancing with their daddy.
