The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We've been getting ready. Decorating. Last-minute gifts. Doing our Advent Calendar with P...It's such an exciting time of year! Last Wednesday night at church, the kiddos watched a Veggie Tale movie about Christmas, and then had a Birthday party for Jesus, complete with singing and a cake! I love it. P is totally excited that we're going to celebrate Jesus' Birthday next week. And yes, totally excited to open his presents under the tree. :)

Merry Christmas!

At last...

We celebrated Mr. P's Birthday. Presents, family, fun, and of course CAKE. The day before he turned 4, P asked me when he would be 5. *Sigh.* The 1 & the 3 candles on the cake are not because I'm wishing he was 13 (trust me, I do not want to rush him even more!)...it's all I could find before we cut into the cake. 1+3 is 4...so that's what I went with. P didn't seem to mind. =)

Time Flies

In some ways, it Seems like almost overnight, Mr. P went from this:

to this:

Time flies! P has been wanting to turn 4 for months now. He used to ask me daily, "Mom, am I 4 yet?!" I'd tell him, not yet...on your Birthday you'll be 4. December 8th marks the day that my little man will turn the big 0-4. We're having a family party on Saturday, so I'm sure he'll be thrilled to discover he gets to have his cousins over, presents, and cake EARLY this year.
