Kirsten's first day of Pre-School

Where does the time go?  Kirsten had her first day of pre-school yesterday and it was a smashing success!   She picked out her clothes the night before and got her backpack ready to go.  We had to discuss that baby dolls aren't okay to put in your backpack, which was a tough conversation, but we got through it. :)

Of course, we had the typical "getting ready for school" photos the day of which included a few with Drake and Alexa!

Kirsten went to hold Drake's hand and I captured it on film.  Such an adorable photo, I had to include it!

Happy Birthday Alexa!

Today my baby turned 2 years old, to celebrate we had a Dora themed family birthday party.   Kirsten and I had already gone gift shopping for Alexa the previous week, so Gordon and Drake were in charge of decorating the house.  The whole family picked Alexa up from daycare with balloons (Dora themed, of course!), her face lit up and she was so excited.  We continued the festivities at home with some pizza and Dora ice cream cake.  There was even a little dancing, too!
