Kendall’s 3rd Birthday!
Today is Kendall’s third birthday! We had her party at home, and decorated the house up with Flower Fairies-themed decorations. Her famous Buttercup Fairy costume from Halloween is one of the Mary Cicely Barker creations that I liked so much when I was a little girl. I’m so glad Kendall likes them, too! We let her wear the costume for her party, since it’s thematic. 😉 We had a beautiful cake from the Cupcake Shoppe again, hand-painted by our favorite designer, featuring...

Today, we went to the Ren Faire! It was bitterly cold, and I’m having some complications from my supposedly-zero-downtime surgery, which put a damper on things (for me, anyway). They had a display out front of a Delorean and hover board, like from the Back To The Future movies (we had to explain those to the kids).

They...

Tonight was the annual Red Hat family Halloween party! Brandon brought the kids to the tower and we got them ready to head inside. They look pretty fantastic, don’t they? Brian makes a fierce Viking, and Kendall makes the most beautiful buttercup fairy! Once we were ready, we headed in for the main event, and a wild time was had by all. It’s fairly chaotic and crowded, but the kids had fun playing silly carnival games, getting candy and prizes, and taking a tour through the...
Read MoreFamily Picture Day
Today was our family picture day, which is always sort of stressful. 😉 We’re hoping something will turn out well enough for a Christmas card, especially since we found out when reviewing the shots that Kendall made weird faces in every single picture except the first! The kids were pretty crazy, especially Kendall. Not even the gigantic Olaf could amuse her enough to smile while standing still! While I picked out shots to purchase, Brandon and the kids went ahead to...
