You Might Find Us Here For Thanksgiving

I'm not sure if I'm really excited or really sad. On one hand, there would be No cooking and No cleaning for me, on the other I'm crashing someone else's Thanksgiving day. On one hand I don't have to fear the family fights and the constant anxiety that plagues me when my husband and my family are in the same room, on the other hand what are holidays for if not to gather with family and fight? On one hand It's Chinese and all you can eat, on the other what's Thanksgiving without mashed potato's, stuffing and turkey?

Alivia's 2nd Birthday Part II

Usually It's me that ruins a cake but this time Alivia got her hands on it first. She found her cake and wanted some ASAP so she carried it downstairs to me upside down in the cake box.

Happy Birthday to you

Daddy bought Alivia a baby doll that drinks and pee's.

Practicing her mouth to mouth skills, what a good mommy!

It quite fun to be on the receiving end of a kiss from Livie.

Birthday Goodies

Daddy gave Alivia a new baby, Mom gave her some winter Crocs, Grandma Ward gave her these cute little hair accessories and some lounging clothes. Grandma "Joe" and Diane and Ernie gave Alivia her birthday cake and a little birthday cash.

Grandma Ward also gave her this beautiful dress

One Cute little two year old!

Alivia's Two

Two years ago today little Alivia was born! Happy Birthday!
You brought magic to this little family with your fiery personality and lovable ways. We all love you more than words can say!

Aunt Cozy and a Cavity

Dylan went to see his Aunt Cozette to have his first cavity filled.

So I learned now never to record a movie with my camera turned side ways
sorry about having to tilt your head

Dylan was petrified of the laughing gas. I finally figured out why last night.
Aunt Cozy told Dylan she was going to put on an "elephant nose" so he could breath some silly gas. Apparently he thought the breathing mask was going to make his nose become like an elephants. He kept saying, "Mom is my nose going to be like my goose egg"? I just couldn't connect the dots at the time and I thought he was just being silly because of the laughing gas.

He looks like he'd make a great fighter jet pilot!

Once the laughing gas finally kicked in Dylan had us all giggling!

Dylan giggled and giggled about everything, it was quite comical, and then he started snorting everytime he laughed. Who could have thought going to the dentist could be so much fun!

We all thought Dylan did wonderfully once he calmed down about the laughing gas, they were able to do file his tooth and fill his cavity with out having to use a needle to numb him.
