Birthday Party!

Rachel will celebrate her 2nd birthday on the 12th, this weekend we celebrated with a small Mickey Mouse party for family. We had a great time eating BBQ and cake, and opening presents. Rachel is not going to know what to do without presents to open all the time. Thank you to all for making her birthday so special and for all of your support through the last 2 years!


A friend of ours gave Rachel a "super girl" cape and headband. It was so cute and different!

yummy cake!

Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas with all our family. We were able to see everyone on both sides of our family and shared some wonderful times. Rachel had a great Christmas and was spoiled and loved to death. She really started to enjoy opening presents and seeing what was inside. She especially enjoyed spending so much time with her cousins!



The ladybug tent was a huge hit, Rachel loved it!

Christmas Program at Weekday School

Today was our last day of Weekday school until after Christmas! YEA! We always end the last day with the children presenting the Christmas story of Jesus birth. Last week my director came to me and said, "Do you mind if Rachel is the skunk, we're really limited with our costumes?" I laughed and told her, "I didn't mind." So today my little angel dressed up like a skunk to be the animals in the manger scene. She was full of laughs and smiles all day but right before we went out she began to cry and say, "I want to go home and take a nap." So I sat with her through the whole (5 minute) play and told her it would all be over soon. When we finished the play and left the sanctuary, she was as happy as could be! She did make a very CUTE skunk!

Ms. Gail, added to Rachel's costume by putting "skunk" makeup on her.

Don't we look excited!! When asked, "What does a Skunk say?" "Rachel would say, Shew Wee!"

The play was a scucess and all the children did a great job!

Rachel Entertains Tyke

Rachel has figured out that our dog, Tyke, will chase the light from a flashlight.

She thinks this is pretty funny.

Happy Birthday Wes!

Yesterday was Wes' birthday! We went out to dinner and then did cake with family when we got home. Wes was pretty surprised to get a Wii for his birthday. We played it most of the night....I'm sore today! Happy Birthday Wes, you're a great husband and a wonderful father. I couldn't imagine life without you!
