Rebecca's 2nd Birthday

Presents before Breakfast.

#2 Waffle

Nathan makes the comment that we have more pictures of them with dirty faces than with clean. I will admit that I enjoy getting pictures of the messy faces but that his statement IS a bit of an exaggeration.

Birthday Cupcake.

A School Bus toy so we may better sing her favorite song, "The Wheels on the Bus".

Rebecca and the Present

I love how animated her facial expressions are. I can just see those little wheels spinning in her head. 

The funny part about these first pictures is that she was so hesitant to open this present. I had just finished telling her NOT to open presents and then Aunt Jessica brought over Grandma's present that she wanted Rebecca to open right then so she could take pictures back to Grandma. Poor Rebecca seemed confused over why it was alright to open a present now.

Thinking about opening the present.

Are you sure I can open this present? I don't want to get in trouble.

She's decided it's ok.

Um...a little help here. I can't get it out.

Got it.

With no help at all the baby doll slipped right out of the box. Nice...no stupid twisties keeping it in.

She loves it.

Getting a good look at her dolly.

Do you see this face? This face is wearing the expression of a 3rd child who understands the rules of possession. DON'T let go. She also is well aquainted with the word "MINE"

Feeding the baby.

Such a good little Mommy.

And she carried around her little baby doll EVERYWHERE!

Meredith's Birthday

These are pictures from Meredith's 5th Birthday. We actually had a party for Meredith at Grandma's house but I don't have those pictures yet. So, this was just half of her celebration.

Birthday Morning Presents

 The "5" Waffle

 

That evening Meredith and I went out to buy her a new dress with the Birthday money she received. She ended up buying a dress that came with a doll dress as well and a glove and ball. We loved the time we were able to spend just the two of us as well.

Nathan Gets the Girls Ready for Church

Nathan took this picture a couple months ago proving that he can get the girls ready for church all by himself while Mommy was at a meeting. :)
