The Birthday Party

This year we decided to give the kids a combined birthday party at our house. We just had family and close friends come. Katelynn helped pick the theme out and we went with a Barnyard theme so that worked nicely for a boy and girl party.I originally wanted it outdoors but the weather did not permit that so we had an all indoor party but it turned out great. I had a few games for the kids that they all seemed to enjoy. Katelynn and Timmy loved all their presents. Now I just need to find places for them all plus Christmas gifts.

Christmas

Christmas was really fun this year. Timmy is at that age where he understands opening presents and getting new things. His favorite gift was his train table and train set. Katelynn is at the age where she understands the whole Santa Claus concept so she was real excited to put cookies out for him and was concerned about how he was going to fit down the chimney. Christmas morning she woke up and expected Santa to be at our house. She asked me if he was here. I guess she thought he would hang out and watch her open her presents. I would have to say her favorite gifts were the many frogs she received from Santa and family members.
