Julia's 2nd birthday

We had a little pizza party birthday for Julia at our house and had a great time. Mike, Hattie, Molly, Winnie, Grandpa and Margie were here to celebrate. When it came time to cut the cake after singing to the birthday girl, she wasn't going to allow that to happen. She was so excited with her Nemo cake that she wouldn't let me take it away or put a knife anywhere close to the cake. Grandpa even tried to get her to taste it so she would want to eat some but she wasn't interested. At one point we thought everyone would leave without being able to eat any cake but then I convinced her to let me cut the top of the cake. We then opened presents and Julia got lots of goodies. One of her favorite presents was Mrs. Potato head from Winnie but the best part was that Grandpa thought the hands and arms should all be in the right place but Julia didn't want them all in the right place and they kind of faught about it. It was funny to watch and made everyone laugh.
I almost forgot that on Julia's birthday morning she received a new train set from us and she loved it. She played with it that morning and then got busy flossing her teeth. I was able to capture about 100 pictures of this because we were trying to get one for the office and she was too cute that morning.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2009 was celebrated at Grandpa and Margie's house this year with most of the family and friends in attendance. Grandpa, Margie, Mike, Hattie, Molly, Collin,Ron, Deborah, Bill, Rhonda, Kelsey and Brett McCarthy. It was a nice holiday for us to be home and one of the best parts was to spend the holiday weekend at our house and we enjoyed the long weekend. Harry and I went to the UFS for the wine tasting on Saturday with Margaret and it was a good time.

Daddy Daughter Dance

The Daddy Daughter dance is one of the highlights of the school year. Harry and Sydney went shopping the weekend before and picked out the perfect dress for the event. The corsage and botineir were ordered and they dinner was planned. Sydney got to pick where to eat and of course she picked McDonald's. The night was a great time and Daddy carried his date into the house asleep. She had so much fun and can't wait to do it again.
