When do the parties end?

My baby girl just turned 3 on 1/6. We celebrated her birthday with not one...not two...but THREE parties. At what point do you stop the madness??? Her first party was with Doug's side of the family and it was a mixture of Oglesby Chrismas and Kenyon's birthday. The next party was the next day at Build-A-Bear Workshop. She and three of her buddies (Tessa, Mila and Carly) along with her brother and sister made special bears.

I however, got that stomach flu that was going around and missed her party. I was really bummed. Doug took over...because if you read my blog...you know that he is a super dad. So, he and Ashley went and made sure that the birthday girl had a good time!

All the kids got to make bears and take them home. Kenyon got a bear that is wearing an Eagles cheerleading outfit...surprise, surprise...or if you didn't know super dad is a die hard Eagles fan!

And then finally the last party was on her actual birthday. We invited my family over for dinner and I made homemade macaroni and cheese (by request from the birthday girl) and cupcakes.

Happy 3rd Birthday Preshy!!

Hi-Yah!

Trey started Tae Kwon Do last week. Doug took him to his first lesson, so I don't have ALL the details. He said he liked it and wanted to do it again.

He is taking his turn at kicking.

This is his Tae Kwon Do "stance".

Onyx has a girlfriend

Kenyon got a "Fur Real" kitty for Christmas. If you don't know what this is...it is a cat that is battery operated and looks real. It will react to touch, light and movement. If you pet it it will purr and blink. It will meow if you turn on or off the light and will move around and react to you.

I put it in front of Onyx the other day and he would move his head to look at it which in turn would make it meow or purr. Onyx kept looking at me like..."why are you doing this to me...I am trying to sleep"? It was really funny and amused me for a while:-)

Kayton the photographer

Every once in a while a child will get their hands on the camera...this is the result when Kayton got it!!

Gammy and Pop and their grandchildren

Here are Gammy and Pop with all their grandchildren. From left to right we have Lane, Kenyon, Kayton, Trey and Tessa.

Kenyon is a hoot.

The other day Kenyon...who just turned three says to me "Mama, are you finkin what I'm finkin? I laughed and said "probably not, but what are you thinking"? She just smiled.

Where do kids come up with this stuff?!?!

Tomatoes

There are three tomatoes walking down the street. A mama tomato, a daddy tomato and a baby tomato. The baby tomato was lagging behind and the daddy goes back, squished him and says "ketch up".

That's what I am trying to do...is "ketchup". I have a bunch of pictures and stories to blog and very little time to do that...so bear with me.

Santa and his entourage

Santa makes a visit to all the kids in our neighborhood. This was all the kids who came out to see him and the Linglestown Fire Company that brought him.
It was really freaking cold that day.

This was us waiting in line for Santa...we brought one of Kayton's friends with us, she lives down the street from us (Hailey's the one in the pink coat).

Santa driving in on his old fashioned fire truck. He gave all the kids a gift bag filled with a teddy bear, candy canes and an orange.
