Lots of Posts... A neighborhood playdate

We've slowly made some friends around the neighborhood and recently mommy realized we had enough like aged girls to form a really fun little playgroup. So we had a "New Year's Eve" themed playdate...

Karyssa & Brianna...


Brianna's brother Nathanael..


He had his blankie so I had to show him mine too...


Leah examining all the stuffed animals...


Brianna brought her Go Go Puppy and we got to play puppies...


So fun!


The seesaw saw lots of use today...








Leah and Karyssa played dollhouse...


Finally we all headed downstairs to do a craft project. We made New Year's Eve hats...


and mom even put together some goody bags with noise makers and beads...


Happy day before New Year's everybody!


We are officially caught up, but there are A LOT of posts, so keep reading!

Chuck E Cheese with Piper & friends...

Wednesday morning we headed to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate with Piper. We weren't celebrating her birthday... we were celebrating her potty training success! What a great reason for a party!


Silly expressions. I was VERY tired, we didn't get home from Nana and Pop Pops until almost midnight and I don't sleep in the car...


My favorite thing was riding with Barney...


Mom kind of gagged at this, but surely they scrub these things down...


Piper! Congrats Piper!


She didn't get to have a birthday party because her family was busy this summer so it was fun to celebrate with her...


More rides...


Whack a number...


Cupcakes!










More rides...


Some play time in the school bus...


This was my favorite "game" and I was much more into games once I figured out the ticket thing...


Jack & his mommy playing air hockey...


Piper going for a ride...


Back to the frog game...


Riding with CEC (didn't want anything to do with the one in costume)...


Mom finally convinced me to try skee ball...


A tired happy girl!

Christmas with the Forts...

Tuesday evening we headed out to see Nana and Pop Pop and all the London Forts. We meant to arrive for an early dinner, but with fog and rain, we were late which made for a very late evening...


I was pretty excited to see my cousins...


and REALLY excited when I realized there were more presents...


Blaise is such a fun friend to me... I showed him my new Leapster Explorer...


Family picture time...


Here we are last year...


The grandkids... (mom loves the way I'm looking at nana in this one)...






They were all too cute to choose!


Just the kiddos...


The London Forts (we are ready to have them state

Loving on mom some more...


Time to open presents... The money roll is always a hit!


After presents cousin Blaise brought out his xbox kinect and I was in love!


We had SO much fun!


Even mom played and she hates video games!


See how amazed I am that she's participating (obviously feeling better huh?)...
