A Call from Princess Tianna

The phone rang today at 5:45pm and it was for you....

Happy Love Day!

Well, actually Valentine's Day. But for some cute reason, you call it "Love Day". After a week long venture with the stomach virus that the family endured, we were all ready for the weekend to arrive. We kicked off "Love" weekend with your classroom party. Always a good time, complete with heart shaped sandwiches, heart shaped red velvet cupcakes, Hershey Kisses hunt, Valentine's Day Story and Love Bug craft.

4 hours later, we attended the MOTG's Annual Valentine's Day Pizza Party, where games were played and dancing occurred. I think that you were feeling a little left out with the kids in their groups. But Mommy to the rescue, I took you to a corner and we started playing with the Barbie Tatoos that came with Valentines we bought and sure enough a crowd started to form around us and then you came out of your shell and decided that everyone should have one and offered them up to anyone that you could find.

Then on Sunday, Valentine's Day, cupid left you and Vaughan a surprise to wake up to.

Some flowers, balloons, and cards. (Even treats for Bentley) Then it was off to brunch at Circles with Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Jim.

Not too bad for Valentine's Day Weekend.

Mommy and Daddy love you with all of our hearts.

Happy Valentine's Day Baby Girl!!!

(...i know you don't like to be called a baby)

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

Mommy and Daddy really wanted to have Christmas at our house this year. But along with having Christmas at our house, comes cooking for everyone that comes as well. We had the four of us, Khun Yai and Khun Tha, Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Alyson, Uncle Jeff, Uncle Jim, Kianna your buddy, Xander, Bryce, Ryan, Bridget and Nichole over. As usual, Mommy was bound and determined to exceed the expectations of our guests with a delicious dinner at a beautiful table.

Looks like both you and Vaughan were on the "REALLY NICE" list.

Here's the Princess Kitchen you were dying to have.

3 Generations.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 24

Activity of the Day: Open 1 Present.

Decisions, Decisions. Since Santa hasn't visited our house yet. There were only a couple of presents to open under the tree from friends from afar. The choice was between Mike's or the Katsoufis' gift. The winner was the Katsoufis gift which was a 100 piece buildable deluxe marble race. Remind me to get them back next year with 101 pieces that makes lots of noise as a bonus feature.

Once we finished opening the gift, we decided to lighten Santa's caloric intake by eating a couple of his cookies for him.

Cookies for Santa.....

Food for the Reindeers

And a little reminder of what was on your Christmas list. Hope you were on the "Nice" list.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 21

Activity of the Day: Drive your truck around the block looking at the Christmas Lights


After driving around the different subdivisons in the neighborhood, you thought that it would be nice for you to drive Vaughan around in your truck while Mommy, Daddy and Bentley walked to admire the Christmas decorations in the immediate area. Even though, this was not was originally planned, it was a nice treat.
