Happy 3rd Birthday, Kira!!









Our little girl is getting so big! Kira's 3rd birthday was on January 10th. On the 9th, we had a little party with some of her friends. There are about 5-6 girls in our neighborhood all around her age. We went to an indoor playground and set up a table with all the goodies. Kira picked a unicorn theme. The girls all had a ball playing together. Kyle picked up the cake and was such a help cleaning up and taking pictures. So much fun! On her birthday, Kyle had a function at his office so I made chilli and we all went there for dinner. They sang happy birthday to Kira and she seemed so shy about it. It was fun though, she loves going to dad's office. Afterwards, we came home and all the family came over for cake and ice cream. Mom and dad got her a Leapfrog First PC that hooks up to the TV. She got some games to go along with it. But, the hit of the night was a Barbie car that Todd and Katrina got for her. She loved it! It's so cute and she just needs to get outside to practice steering and backing up. Now it will be nice when the weather warms up because I can walk Kaylee in the stroller and Kira can drive her car around the neighborhood. Fun!

Kyle's birthday is on the 16th but we'll miss it because we'll be in UT and he'll be fishing in Florida. We went to his mom's tonight for a family b-day dinner for him. Then, we'll have Kaylee's in a couple weeks. Whew... busy month!

Kaylee is walking more and more. She'll let go of furniture and walk over to me. She walks across the room between me and Kyle when we're practicing. She falls alot but she is getting more and more confident. I won't mind her starting to walk on her own now so I can get some things done again instead of having her hold my finger and walk all day. She is changing so fast, it's crazy.

We're so excited to see family and friends in Utah and can't wait!
