Build-A-Bear Birthday

My friend Laura invited my kids to her daughter's birthday party. It was at Build-A-Bear and each kid was given an animal to stuff and take home. Emma picked a doggie.

Katie chose a bunny.

Emma washed her pup so nicely.

Group photo of all the kids.

Afterwards we met in the food court for cupcakes and presents.

When the party was over, I had promised Katie I would take her to buy her first purse. I showed her Charming Charlie's, which she LOVED. She picked out a hot pink purse for $8 and was so proud of herself. She felt so grown up and special. I love watching her grow up, so much. She's my baby forever.

I was proud of myself for finding similar outfits for the girls to wear. Because of the big age gap, it's hard to find matching clothes in both sizes. I thought they looked super cute.

New Toy

I used the gift card Emma got for her birthday, to buy her a new toy. It's pretty cool, she likes watching the balls fly out.

Emma's Swing

David's Mom helped us go in on a swing for Emma since I didn't have a baby shower. I didn't get to pick Katie's out since it was gifted to me, so I went all out on the pretty pink for this one. I love it so much!

Goodnight Katie

I finally bought batteries for Katie's new pillow that Mary bought her for Christmas. It's so pretty!

What A Great Day!

Today is the day! Katie has a doctor's appointment to check her cast and hopefully take it off! AND, Disneyland tonight, for the Halloween Event! We brought Abby so Katie could have a friend to go with her. They took the day off school since we had to go to the doctor first before Disneyland. But first, hours of waiting to be called =/ My Mom brought her Kindle Fire and I loaded YouTube on my phone so they could watch cartoons, but they still got bored =/

 YES!!!!!!!!!!!

 Goodbye stinky ol' cast! Good riddance!

 Katie deserves a treat for her special day of getting her cast off! When we got to Disneyland for Mickey's Halloween Party, I treated the girls. They picked a Mickey Marshmallow Pop.

 After the girls ate their snack, we changed them into their costumes. Abby was Belle and Katie picked Blueberry Muffin.

 Racing the cars they built in front of the Lego store.

 Time to go inside!

 We went on a few rides, took pictures with some characters.

 For dinner the kids ate turkey sandwiches, apples, and carrots, with chocolate milk.

 And for dessert, lots of candy was eaten.

 Before we left, I let the girls each choose 1 toy (under $20). Abby chose Bolt.

 Katie wanted Scully. She loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

I had a fun night at Disneyland with the girls and my Mom, and I am soooo happy Katie's cast is finally off =) Yay!!

Timmy Turner Purse

Katie just loves the Fairy Odd Parents these days, and there aren't too many things you can buy with those characters these days, so I went to Etsy to find something. I got her this cute purse for $10, she seems to like it =)

 Later on during the night, I found her like this...haha. Crazy girl. I guess she made herself comfy.

Katie's Doll

Mary gave Katie a new doll, and Katie loved it so much she slept with it tonight. She's so precious and cute.

Santa's House Call

Katie and I never made it to the mall this year to see Santa. Life (and work mostly) got in the way. So I finally decided to take her on Christmas Eve, since it was a weekend and we didn't have work and school. Well. Katie woke up sick =/ We were not going to make it to see Santa this year. But then, something awesome happened. Santa knocked on Katie's door at home! She was sooo surprised and shy, it was the cutest thing.

 He brought Katie a present- the Play-doh Dentist toy she has been wanting for weeks!

 We left cookies out for when Santa came back with his reindeer while we slept. Katie made them with my Mom at her house.

Thank you so much for coming by Santa! You made Katie's night! =)

Katie's First Purchase

I have a deal going with Katie right now. Every day that her room is clean, I give her a dollar. She's been saving up for about a month and a half to buy this Dora doll. She wanted it so bad! Today she was finally able to buy it, and boy was she happy! Lets see if she continues to clean her room now that she's already got what she wanted! :p

Katie's Choice

Katie, in her new outfit, with her new wand, went to Toys R Us with her gift card, and picked out a new toy.

Katie's New Spinner

My Mom bought Katie this cool toy at a yard sale for $1. You spin yourself, like the tea cup ride. She likes it a lot :p
