Sheesh, it's been a while since I last posted. I guess I'll just give an update.
To celebrate turning 5 Peyton had a birthday party with a million kids!! No really there were 16 kids there total (talk about chaos!) He had a blast playing with all his buddies and of course got a load of presents! Way too many if you ask me!
His cake turned out awesome, I bought this edible image from a company on ebay, he loved it.
After deciding we weren't going to put up lights on the house this year we put up our Christmas lights LOL! We just couldn't not do it, we knew the kids would love it and it brings so much Christmas cheer, we couldn't go without! We even got a new blow up of Mickey Mouse. The kids thought it was fun sitting on the roof with me (for 2 seconds each -Dan's idea!)
We got our tree from a tree farm called North Pole Pines in Farr West. It was a fun little place, you go and pick out your tree then cut it down. We went with Dan's older brother and his family, maybe it'll be a new tradition?? It only took us a little over a week to get the tree decorated!
Last week was MeeMaw's annual work client appreciation night where Santa comes. When Peyton saw Santa he ran and jumped in his arms. I overheard him telling Santa "remember that thing you brought me...that Robin toy? Well, I want a riddler and a penguin toy that goes with that toy set" Santa was awesome and played right along. Bailey on the other hand FREAKED OUT!! She didn't want anything to do with Santa. I finally convinced Dan (who is a softy for his baby girl) to take her and sit by Santa so I could get a picture. As you can see from the picture she wasn't too thrilled. After a minute she warmed up but still wouldn't agree to sit on Santa's lap. He was great with her and had her tell him about her list she had made.
My birthday was last Saturday. Check out the cute wrapping of the presents (Dan's idea). We went to breakfast at IHOP then shopping at Kohl's then Dan and I went on a date to his work Christmas party at the Timbermine (thanks Buffy for watching our crazy kids!) Dan hooked me up with a lot of cute clothes and a book (the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown). It's amazing how much more he knows me and knows what I like after 8 years of marriage!
