We had Lizzy's birthday party on November 12. She will actually turn 2 on the 14th. She did really well unwrapping her presents and she loved her cake and ice cream. She got some new clothes, movies, a Cinderella play dress with light up Cinderella shoes, a princess bubble wand, a cash register, shoes, stuffed animals, a Clifford book, a baby stroller with accessories, a hair and makeup accessory play kit, and I have a Jessie doll from Toy Story that we will give her tomorrow on her actual birthday. We got an e-mail for Lizzy to get a free kids' meal at Red Robin, so we will be eating there on her birthday. It was snowing pretty bad in Driggs, St. Anthony, and Rexburg yesterday, so at first we worried that some people wouldn't be able to make it to the party. Thankfully the snow cleared up right before the party. We didn't get much snow in Idaho Falls, so that was nice.
As you can see, our tree is only half filled with ornaments. We knew that Lizzy wouldn't leave them alone if she could reach them. At first, Devon was taking ornaments down and giving them to Lizzy, but eventually he stopped, so we were able to have at least some ornaments on the tree. Devon found some Santa hats in his drawer and started wearing them a lot after that. Lizzy got into the spirit of things as well! One night Bryce, the kids, and I iced some sugar cookies. They were yummy and the kids thought it was fun to help.
