So I have several posts to get written and pictures to upload 🙂
The month started with a joint family birthday party for both winter kids. We ended up accusing Brandon of wishing for snow, because not only did it snow on the 1st during the family party, it also snowed on the 9th, his actual birthday and kid party date.
Here are the birthday kids… I can’t believe Alyson is 3 and Brandon is 6 already. She’s become quite the naughty little child, both at home and at daycare. She’s also getting very complex in her sentences (lots of sentences connected by words like so and ‘cuz). And she’s very very loud when we say it’s bedtime. She still really loves to go play with her friends at daycare the two days a week she’s there. She is potty trained, but wears a pull up at night.
Brandon is really enjoying Kindergarten and seems to be very popular. He had a massive 18 kids at his birthday party at the Lynnwood Pool. It was a blast. The only thing that made me cringe was his method of attacking gifts… shred one open, throw it on the floor and race to the next one. In fact, at the family party he demanded to know where his gift was before he’d let anyone in the door.
Dad and Karen brought one of the best treasures… a gingerbread house to make with the kids. They had the best time decorating it with the gazillion (ok, I exaggerate a little) candies, and eating their fair share too. Here it is, in all its glory. I was really surprised at how precisely Alyson lined up the gumdrops on her tree and the roof 🙂
