the Birthday Girls

Two years ago on December 17th I received the best b'day gift ever- my daughter. It has been a blessing sharing my b'day with my sweet daughter.

The weekend before our b'day we had Sam's birthday at A Play Place. This was an awesome place with things for both the adults and kids to do. But most importantly the b'day girl had a blast.

Liddle Ladybug

This Halloween Sam was a ladybug- at first I wasn't sure we would be anything - she hated anything I tried on her. The lady bug costume was a donation from a distant relative in some clothes that was handed down- I loved it at first site and couldn't wait for her to wear it - and the thought of having to fight her to wear it - well it about broke my heart but while this story started out scary it had a happy ending. Introducing....


My Liddle Lady Bug!


After practicing our "Trick or Treat" all week we joined up with our usual partners in crime Hailey and Sadie and set out with candy in hand on a night of adventure



Here she is about 1/2 way in trick or treating




Taking a little break... Hey you have to when you are trying to keep up...



With these two!



Especially this little princess!

Busy little girl

As we get closer to the ripe old age of 2 there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day...



So many people to talk to


Did you check out the shoes. They are a must - she would wear them 24/7 if she could


Who says you can't keep in touch with old friends when you have kids?


Then ending a busy day by putting your babies to bed



All while trying to stay stylish in our mom's sunglasses

My Little Artist

The other night I brought out the paints and set Sam up at the table. Happy to get her hands in the paint- though some did end up on the paper- mostly she liked to mix all the colors together. But the fun ended around the time that the paint started to dry on her hands. Luckily it's washable paints and it came right off with a little water.
