Happy 2nd Birthday Danica!

So...yesterday Danica turned 2! I really can't believe how fast the time has gone. She brings such joy into our lives it is unbelieveable. And for those of you who didn't know, yesterday was my birthday too. I have left my 20's behind and am embarking on the 30's. Since I had to work on our birthday we didn't really celebrate it too much. We went out to dinner and I got beautiful roses (thank you Jason!). We are going to have a little B-day party for Danica on Sunday but we let her open up one present last night as a warm-up.
Here she is starting to rip into the present. She caught on pretty quickly. She does love to tear the flaps out of her books!
She started getting excited when she could see what was in it.
And here she is feeding her new baby! Thank you Uncle Tim and Auntie Monica! She loves it. And I like the size of it. Not too big, not to small. I'll definitely post some from her party on Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a quiet Thanksgiving here today. Just the three of us hanging out. I had to post a picture of Danica eating here dinner and showing us her teeth! It is one of her newest things. Just say "Show me your teeth!" and she grins like the little ham that she is.

Tomorrow Jason's cousin Randi and her family are coming over for a belated Thanksgiving. Hopefully the kids get along as well as they did last time! Hope you all have had a wonderful holiday!

Happy Halloween!

I hope that everyone had a happy halloween! Danica got to go to her first halloween party. My friend Kelli decided to have a party for the kids on halloween. And grownups did not have to dress up. (thanks Kelli!) Jason had a cold (courtesy of Danica) and was unable to attend. However, Dani and I had a great time. Danica made for a very cute lion.

Here she is "pinning" the tail on the cat! I was surprised that she did as well as she did with it. It helped that some of the other kids went first and so she saw what they were doing.
After the party we went to Kelli's in-law's church where they had a trunk or treat night. It was alot of fun. Some people decorated the back ends of their vehicles. Many were in costume. And best of all you don't have to worry about the safety of the candy! Danica loved walking around with her bag. Yet she wouldn't "roar" once while we were there.
Sitting in the back end of Kelli's car with Larissa the Ladybug and Aliyah the Monkey. Dani kept trying to put more candy from the car buckets into her bag. She does like to sort things. Showing off her sucker that she got. She was wearing glow necklaces that she did not want me to take off her so that is why they are in every picture of her!
Sitting on the kitchen floor digging through her loot. She kept taking it out of the bag and then putting it back in the back and then taking it out of the bag..... you get the idea. And she finally "roared" for Daddy just before we took the costume off and put her to bed.
