Easter

Will turns 6!

Katie is 4!

Katie is 4!  It is hard to believe 4 years have passed since Katie was born during a big ice storm!  Katie is sweet, strong willed, sensitive and loving.  She is a mama's girl, has a great sense of humor and keeps us smiling.  I would love to bottle her up and keep her this age and apparently she likes it too! 

The day before her birthday she said "I don't want to get older."  I agreed and said "I don't want you to either!"  She then replied "I just want to stay home with you and always stay 3."  If only that were possible! 

Here are some things about Katie, age 4.
What she wants to be when she grows up: a Mommy and a ballerina
Favorite thing: Being in jammies and drinking milk
Favorite Food: Green squeezies and Ice Cream (not together)
Favorite Movie: Frozen
Favorite Book: Little Mommy, Sleeping Beauty, 3 Little Pigs
Best Friend: ToTo
Favorite Place to go: Disney Cruise and Seaside
Favorite Color: Rainbow with sparkles
Favorite game: Hide and Go Seek

Katie's birthday is groundhog day and it is just so fitting as she wanted the exact same party as last year - including wearing her hair the same way and wearing the same clothes.  So we headed back to KidArt for a Jackson Pollock style party - splatter painting!  It was a big hit and a big mess - the kids loved it.

Santa Visits

 We had a great time seeing Santa this year!  Will and Katie did great - Katie initially had a big frown, but quickly loved Santa once Will turned her frown around. 

Katie asked for a real baby and Will asked for a laptop.  Luckily Santa shut them both down, and Katie then asked for a dollhouse and Will asked for an Leap Pad 3.  Santa said he would work on those requests.
