Natalie's Birthday

Natalie's Birthday was a very busy day. Mommy made butterfly cookies the night before for Natalie to take to school. But before we went to school, we opened up all our presents from Daddy's side of the family. (We let Natalie open her easel from her godfather the night before!) Then we got to go to the doctor's office. Turns out Natalie has a mild ear infection in one ear and croup. Luckily, she isn't contagious so we don't have to cancel her birthday party. After school, Natalie decided not to nap so Mommy and Natalie took a trip to Lowes to get doorstops so that Natalie would stop closing her bedroom door and getting "stuck". Below are pictures of her special day. I will post up pictures from her birthday party soon. It is tomorrow.

Butterfly cookies to take to school.

Playing with our new easel!

Thanks Randy for the awesome easel! You rock as a godfather!!!

Opening our new Fairy Tales book from cousin Sofie.

Mommy and Daddy got Natalie Penny the Penguin. She is a friend of Natalie's Minme, her most prized possession.

This play-doh will be all over our house soon!

Pointing to Dora in our new Christmas book.

Reading our Dora's Potty time book..that has a button that sounds like a toilet flushing!!

We really like new books! And we got quite a few new ones!!

Checking out a new book!

Baby that Natalie got from GG, her great-grandmother. It crawls and coos. She is really confused by it.

Cake Mommy made for Natalie for her actual birthday.

Very different reaction to the cake this year..she didn't want to touch it. Last year she destroyed it!
