Sophie's Birthday

At the Craig's family's Christmas party Yaya brought a Texas sheet cake and they sang Happy Birthday to Sophie!It was a great party and so thoughtful of them to add the birthday to the round of festivities!
The kids got to see Santa at the Christmas Party! He even brought them stockings with fun toys and coloring books! Taylor hauled off after Santa when he left because he really wanted to see Santa's sleigh! He was so excited and determined! He's trying to figure it all out this year.
Here's all the kiddos from the Starkey Christmas party (actually it's the Arends Christmas party)!
We also did a Dora pinata that helped me get rid of the rest of the Halloween candy and Christmas parade candy!
After the party games we had cake and ice cream and pizza and then we opened presents!
The older kids had to use a blind fold to make it more challenging.
The little ones didn't have to use the blind fold because it was an educational experience for them.
Steve had the best idea! Pin the poo on the potty! I ran with it! It's pretty much the only time you can rationalize doing something that gross (it's a potty training celebration party) and I knew the older boys attending would think that was pretty funny too! Here's the toilet I drew and the tootsie rolls I had leftover from Halloween and the Christmas parade, wrapped in tape so they'll stick! Ingenius! What a great party game!
Sophie's 3rd birthday was December 18th and we were lucky enough to be in Chicago for Craig's family Christmas party that weekend, so we got to throw a birthday party with Sophie's cousins! It was so much fun and totally the perfect 3rd birthday bash! Thanks to Robert, Annie, Peter and Kate for coming over and thanks to Hailey and Steve for letting us have it at their house!

I'm so glad we were able to have all you at the Arends get together and we really enjoyed the kids. Taylor was so cute with his enthusiasm about Santa! Wish they could all believe forever!
