Stitches

Instead of decorating our freshly cut tree from the cabin tonight, we spent time at the new Riverton Hospital getting stitches. Kate pulled on a stocking and the holder landed right on her little head. She was super brave and I was really proud of her.

After it was all done, she picked this beautiful crown for being so brave.

Vampires

I have a new book obsession. The vampires in the Blue Bloods series are so much better than the Cullens. I just finished the fourth book and cannot wait to read more. Such a good series.

Princesses on Ice

Kate and I were lucky enough to go to Princesses on Ice today with our best friends. Susan bought tickets for and early birthday present for Kate and we went with Jamie, Whitney, Cimberly, Cadence, and Susan. It was one of my best moments as a mom, watching Kate's face filled with pure joy as she watched her favorite characters. She cried, she laughed, and waved good-bye to all her friends at the end. It was pure magic!!

This was the big wedding scene at the end. It was the icing on the cake.

If you know Kate at all, you know how she feels about weddings.

This is at the very beginning, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Crafty

I spent today making these flannel PJ's for Kate. I had a little, okay a lot, of help from a friend and they are a little too big, but I am super proud of the end result.

Smile

Leah had decided that life in this world isn't so bad after all. After two months of crying, we are finally seeing that beautiful smile that reminds why I love babies. She melts my heart, even at 4:00 am :)

Halloween

Kate told me her favorite part of Halloween this year was the scary houses they trick or treated at. When I asked why she liked the scary ones, she said "Because Daddy saved me". I love how much she loves her Daddy...
