November

November is always a special month because it is Kaylee's Birthday!! She was very excited this year to be 5 years old! It is so amazing that she is already five!!! She has grown into such a sweet little girl with quite a personality. She loves to be the center of attention- she will sing and dance for you at the drop of a hat. She loves to draw and color and Nana is teaching her to read. Her favorite books are the Dick and Jane series and she has a couple of those book she can read from cover to cover! Kaylee is very social and loves her preschool at Mrs. Bascom's. She is quite the social butterfly there and loves playing with her friends at school. She also loves to set up playdates with her school friends. Here favorite restaurant is Noodles and Company. She asks to go there all the time- I think it is the cool kids chopsticks they have there! She wanted to go there for her birthday but then realized they didn't sing "Happy Birthday" to you there so she changed her mind to Applebee's (here second favorite place-she loves to go visit daddy's UVSC running picture there!) Kaylee loves to watch her movies and to stay up as late as possible. Both our girls have turned out to be quite the night-owls. Kaylee also loves here little sister Makenna. She loves to take care of her and play with her. Kaylee is a very loving girl who enjoys surrounding herself with all the people she loves. We don't know how we were so blessed to get her as our little girl, but we are so thankful every day of these last five years that we get to share every day together with her in our family!

Here is our little birthday princess all ready to open all her presents! She had to wait all day until her party at Nana's that night, so by the time the party rolled around she was about ready to pop with excitement!!!

Kaylee wanted a Barbie party this year. But, not just any Barbie party- Barbie and the Three Muskateers party. She calls it Barbie and the three MOUSEKATEERS- so cute! She was so excited when she saw here cake with the Barbie Muskateers on it.

Kaylee and Makenna- our two little angels!

Our little family with our birthday princess.

Kaylee had quite the party with lots of guests! Nana and Papa, Aunt Nicole and Janessa, Grandma and Grandpa D, Aunt Tami, and Cousins Ian, Emily, and Zoey. Kaylee was in heaven to have so many people who love her there!



Here is Kaylee with all of her presents after the party. She got lots of Barbies and Barbie clothes! She got the Barbie Muskateers barbies she wanted along with the DVD to watch. Her favorite though was her huge Barbie dollhouse! Dan had quite the project the next morning to put together! The dollhouse is beautiful. It is made of wood so it hopefully last through Kaylee and Makenna. It has the cutest wood furniture, including a baby grand piano which I love! Kaylee an Makenna have been playing Barbies together so much since we put the dollhouse together. They absolutely love it an I hope to see many more years of Barbie playing going on with it!

Another favorite present- her own bean bag chair from Nana and Papa! She now has her own lounging spot to sit and watch movies. The only problem will be not having a matching one for Makenna!
