Braedy's Birthday!! (really late) December is TOO busy!!

Does anyone else feel that there is too much going on in December? I feel like I have way too much on my plate right now and blogging has been put on the back burner! Anyway, I found a couple of minutes and I just had to post Brae's birthday eventhough it happened over two weeks ago! I know, I need to do better! Anyway, she had a great day. I took cupcakes in to her class and surprised Braedy. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's (not my favorite but Brae's choice) and we took Braedy's friend Mistie. The kids had a blast and of course I left my camera at home! Here are a few pics of opening presents and blowing out candles.











The weekend after Braedy's birthday we went to Utah to see the Forgotten Carols. That is what she wanted to do to celebrate her 10th birthday and it was AWESOME! We went to the Spaghetti Factory before the play with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa and Cousin Emily. Then we headed to Cottonwood High School and met up with Uncle Kevin, his girlfriend Claire, cousin Savanna, and Claire's daughter Jordin. Braedy LOVED the play. She was bawling by the end of it. She told me she felt the Spirit really strong and that's why she was crying!! It was really neat and I'm so gald we did it!! (I didn't get any pics of Kevin and his fam. Sorry!!)







As a side note, Kaylen LOVES to get into my make-up and I usually don't think much of it because she just pretends to put it on. But I guess I didn't screw my mascara cap on tightly one day because this is how I found her...



So, she needs some practice in the make-up application area but I think she has a few years before it really counts!

Also, I need to repent and do better!! I took my camera with me when we went home for Thanksgiving but the battery was dead so we didn't get any pics of that. And Masen had a DARLING Christmas Program a couple of weeks ago and I grabbed the camera bag with the camera and camcorder in it as I was going out the door only to find out when I got there that both batteries were dead!! So, from now on, I am going to charge the batteries after each time I use them!! Hopefully that will help me and I will have more to post!!
