Kentucky Snow

Charley has wanted to play in the snow since as long as I can remember.  She got her chance when a giant snow storm hit Kentucky.  SEVERAL inches of snow made for a fun time for her and Granddad Mike.  We had a teeny tiny bit of snow in Tennessee, but we mainly got ice.  I had to ghetto rig a sled/swing so she could play a little bit here....needless to say, Kentucky was way more fun!

Pancakes and Pajamas at Amma and Granddad’s House

I seriously have the best parents in the whole world!  Seriously!  When I was all stressed out on how to handle Charley’s 4th birthday...make it special for her, make everyone happy, make it cute (for me), make it fun for the kids, but accommodating for family...Amma came to the rescue with a small party for Kentucky friends and family.  Charley called the Kentucky party her “fake party” since she is having a “real party” at Pump It Up, and she loved every minute of her “fake party!”

Pancakes and Pajamas at Amma and Granddad’s House was a huge success.  Small turned into not-so-small with 37 guests, 13 pancaking toppings, and lots of bacon and sausage.

We loaded up a Birthday Pancake with lots of the yummy toppings to sing “Happy Birthday” to Miss Priss.  

Fruit loop necklaces were a huge hit with the kiddos.  They were all so cute stringing and eating their necklaces.

Charley got lots of great presents, and the kiddos tore into most of them right away.  The Bradley’s got her 101 Dalmatians (which she already has), and her reaction mortified me to the point where we have “practiced” opening presents this week and how to react.  We’ve opened toys we already have and things we wouldn’t necessarily like including the stapler in my desk, all in hopes that she will react much better next time...here’s hoping!  

Thanks to Kari for the super cute invitations!
