Thanksgiving/Birthday Party

Thanksgiving - check
Birthday party - check
Happy little 2 year old - check

I can't believe the holiday is over for another year.  We had a great time with family and ate a LOT!!  Bryson and I took off Wednesday to spend the day with Birthday girl.  That evening we had a dinner at my cousin's house.  Thursday we went to my mom's, then dad's later in the evening.  Saturday we had Braylea's birthday party and then out to eat with Bryson's family.  Finally, Sunday we had lunch at Bryson's Grandma's house.  Tomorrow back to regular routine?? No thank you!!  I need a day to just do NOTHING..well and clean house - guess we will wait another week for that!

Here are some pictures of the week:
Dora couch and bed from Nama Karen along with Dora, the doll and Dora's backpack.
She had to remove every bit of paper before digging in.
A Dora rocking chair from Papa Tom!  Yes - LOVES Dora.
Jamie got her a cake for her actual birthday - thanks Jay!
Mallory and Braylea posing silly.
Karaoke for hours..she sang and danced all evening!


Birthday party time!
I was so happy with the cake.
Kamden helping Bray open.
She loves babies, so this was a hit!  She also received a baby crib and car seat.  She is definitely entertained being a Mommy at home now!
Halfway through opening gifts, she said, "I play with kids now, Mommy" and walked away leaving me with the remaining gifts.  It was SO funny!  She is a little social bug.  I made the mistake of telling her about her party a few days in advance and so she asked when the kids were coming to her party non-stop.  Who needs presents when you have kids??

I'm so thankful for the family and friends that God has blessed me with.  Becoming a mommy definitely makes you appreciate things at a deeper level.  Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because all it is about is family (and food - can't forget that!) lol..I love family gatherings and am blessed that most of my family is local.
