Birthday Girl Again

These pic were too cute not to post so we are visiting Maycee's first year-second birthday party. Because this is our last first birthday party until grandkids, we decided to have two parties for Maycee. She got a princess cake from Costco and enjoyed every bit of her slice. We were able to have all the family down for the party and it was fun watching all the kids spoil Maycee on her big day.

Our past kids have had a hard time really getting into their cakes, but Maycee was all about it. It was so fun to watch her experience so much sugar at once.

The aftermath and time for a bath in the kitchen sink!

I think the bath was Maycee's favorite part of the party. She didn't care that her bow was getting soaked, she loves water!

"Help me, I'm drowning!"

We love Maycee so much and are really enjoying the little girl she is becoming!

Happy Halloween!

Okay, so I know Christmas is over, but I need to cram in as many post as I can for my year in review blog book, so Happy Halloween! Since Halloween fell on a Sunday this year, our festive activities were kept to a minimum and I didn't even get my professional portrait done this year (I have had them taken every year for since Brady was 3!) I was bummed about the picture, but we took the kids to a party at the Hansens and the kids had a great time. They bobbed for apples...

played the donut on a string game...

took some whacks at a pinata...

and ate lots of candy of course. For historical preservation, Haylee was a grumpy teenager this year, Brady was a nerd, Jaron was Napoleon Dynamite, Chloee was the Little Mermaid, Jolee was a unicorn, and Maycee was a kitty.
