We celebrated mama Cheeks birthday Saturday. When we first got there Kiera was drawn to uncle Ryan's New Years Hat and beads and really thought she was a big shot wearing those around the house. Then later on in the evening aunt Sharon and uncle Kerry stopped by so we got to sing happy birthday to both mama and aunt Sharon. We baked mamas favorite pineapple upside down cake, Kaitlyn was a big helper with baking the cake then mama got to open her gifts.

Dustin Giving the girls a horseback ride around the main floor. They love when he shows up. He still has the energy of a kid just like they do. We like it to cus it give the rest of us a break :) Thanks Dustin!


Kaitlyn getting ready to put up her ironing board. This has been down in Papa and Mams basement forever but this weekend they brought it up and discovered it and thought it was amazing.


Kaitlyn waking up from her nap. she doesn't like her picture taken lately for some reason so I took advantage and got one when she was still waking up


Picking up more wrapping paper. Notice Kiera is still in the hat


Back home Sunday evening winding down from a fun and long winter break.
She does smile for the camera :) only because she got the snack in her hand


oragnizing her dominoes


I love how they love each other so much. They always take the time for a hug or sqeeze. Its kid of funny but when one of them is getting in trouble for something they did the other will protect her sister. Kaitlyn will point and say dont yell at my best freind that way and Kiera will get right inbetween Kaitlyn and the person repremanding her. She will make herself as big as she physically can arms out and legs spread and say my best buddy in her mean little voice. So in the end they both end up in trouble but I hope they always protect eachother and stay as close as they are now.


Playing one last game of Hungry Hippos before bed


Sometimes We have more pictures of Kiera than Kaitlyn and it's only because Somedays Kaitlyn hates getting her picture taken and I dont force the issue. I'm not playing favorites...............yet :)

It was a fun weekend and great way to start the new year.
Only down side to it was not taking a whole day to get the girls back to our regular schedule and routine. Monday morning came early and it was a rough day to get through. Last night the girls were in bed an hour earlier than the night before and tonight I am planning to be right back on schedule.
