Where did the time go?? Today I have three 2 year olds, they are not little babies anymore. And they are so much fun!!!
Samantha at 2, is sweet and loves her baby dolls, loves her blanket, which she calls "kiki", and loves to bite Bridgette. Yep Bridgette is Samantha's chew toy. She can warm your heart in a second with that irresistable smile.
Oh Bridgette, she is quite the character. What a hoot and she really gives me a run for my money. She talks talks talks, not sure where that comes from. She can recognize most letters of the alphabet, has a very large vocabulary, enjoys climbing out of her crib, seriously has monkey toes and grips her feet around things to climb, a new favorite thing is to climb into her sister and brothers crib. She is the boss of the trio, but if she gets too bossy watch out for Samantha because she will bite her. Bridgette has no fear and wants to do all the things her big sisters do.
Ahhh Teddy my little man. He is a thinker, he figures things out. Definately good at manipulating objects, stacking, building. Wants to get right in and help with all of the fixing around the house. He LOVES to have time with him and Daddy. He likes to observe and will stay out of Samantha and Bridgettes way so to avoid being hit or bit by the little girls. He has a large vocabulary but does not talk much unless he really wants something, of course with 4 sisters how can he get a word in. He is mamas boy and sweet and snuggly too.
Maddie, our little Angel, she is part of lives everyday we talk about her, think about her and miss her. I can not believe it has been almost 2 years since I held her last.
This years party was simple, Alexis made a sign look hard it says "Happy Birthday" Although bathday was more appropriate by the end of the day. :)
The table for my 5 to eat at.
The table for Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Auntie, Uncle and cousin. :)
The simple theme ran over to the wraping. Yep I only bought 2 presents for 3 kids, and they were wrapped in simple brown paper, that came in the packaging from the box they arrived in from the mail. Alexis and Olivia decorated the wrapping paper!! :)
Bridgette woke up early and helped color her own wrapping paper.
Alexis, Olivia and I made a simple cake completely from scratch, all purpose flour, butter, milk, homemade buttercream frosting. Not fancy but really tastey. :)
The kids enjoyed the cake. Samantha, Bridgette and Teddy.
Samantha
Then it was time to wish Maddie a Happy Birthday!! Teddy and cousin Matthew!!
Those 5 balloons really stayed together. The 5 from her siblings to her!! :)
Daddy bought extra balloons, smart man. Present time.
Eco friendly wrap = eco friendly toys. They got a
parking garage and a
Eco Town by plan toys. Got them on sale last December and they sat in my basement for all that time. :)
They will be getting another party with my Dad and Donnies Mom next weekend, and Olivias birthday will be celebrated too. :) Lucky little kids getting lots of parties.
Thanks for peeking in on us!! :)
It was a chilly morning waiting for the bus.

We also have a preschooler in our midst. Olivia will start her first year at preschool and she was excited for her open house and to meet her teachers.
