It's OUR Party!

We had our birthday party this past Sunday. We were all bugged out. It was so much fun. When I woke up from my nap I was actually nervous for our party...I wanted to wait in Grammy's bedroom. But, once I realized there were bugs hidden all over the living room, well, let's just say I buzzed on out there pretty quick.

(Mommy made all our cupcakes and cakes-YUM!! With our allergies, we had to ensure we only getting the good stuff.)







Of course it snowed over a foot for our big day. It was only appropriate though since we moved on the first major snow fall of the season. It was beautiful.


I let my baby brother open the first gift. Then I had to show him how to really do it. Thank you to all our family and friends for such wonderful gifts. Everyone sure knows us boys and the things we like.



I even slept with my glow-in-the-dark bugs and bug catcher, my Buzz and Woody suitcase and jammies, and my talking book. You would think I slept with it on the end of my bed, right? Nope, RIGHT next to me.








Gracie and me watching the movie Sam sent...we wanted him to be a part of my special day too since he couldn't be here.

Mommy said "Kadyn, your friend Gracie is going to be here for your party." And I said, "Mommy, Gracie isn't my friend." To which Mommy replied, "She's not? (Thinking to self *uh-oh*)...Um...who is she then?" "She's my girl." Look out Brian and Marina...


Thank you everyone who made our day so special!! We had the very best time and are so grateful to everyone that braved the weather to take part in our special day. God Bless!

1st Haircut

We both went for haircuts this past Friday (12-4) so we can look extra handsome at our big birthday party today. It was Kai's very first haircut (we won't count the haircut that Papa gave him).

And being a cheese ball (this was too funny not to post)

Christmas Parade

Even though it was only 27 degrees out yesterday, we walked down to the Christmas Parade. (Emphasis on *walked* since our house is now close enough to do that!!)

We were SO cold!

Thanksgiving Traditions

For thanksgiving Mommy and Daddy have combined some of their favorite traditions. Mommy remembers many years of decorating gingerbread houses...


Kai wanted to help me eat the candies from the house, but Poppie helped keep him away from my sweet dinner.

And Daddy grew up hunting for his Christmas tree in the woods the next day...

I had to try out making a snow angel. I realized after my 5th attempt that the snow wasn't cooperating with me...it was too hard.

Uncle Drew thought he would teach me how to snowshoe. I can't wait to get my own pair next year!


Kai fell asleep in our hunt for the perfect tree. He insisted it was back by the car but I had to try out the "hunt" first before I agreed.


Poppie and I built a fire to heat up the chili and warm our fingers (for some reason I just couldn't keep the gloves on my hands and my hand warmers weren't working).



Kuna (aka "Tuna" to me) and Boulder (aka "Bouldie") came along...we tried to tire Bouldie out, but he thought it was just a nice warm up.


And then we tried out the best invention ever...a sled! This was SO much fun. Every time I got to the bottom I got a HUGE smile on my face and would promptly yell "AGAIN!" Even Kai had a turn or two. He definitely didn't find this as wonderful as I did. I think panicked would be a better word for him.



Our tree!! Kai was right, the one right by the truck when we drove in was perfect. We didn't need to hike after all. But that would have taken the adventure out of it.

I wasn't even tired when we were done. Nope, not this guy.
