Happy Birthday to Kaes!!!

Wow, our little boy is FOUR. Its amazing how grown up four seems in comparison to three. This year we let Kaes decide what he wanted to do for his party. He wanted a party at home with some of his friends and to just "play".
Pascal set up all the toys in the living room and we waited for the guests to arrive. We had 8 boys total and they were all wonderful!
No, really. It was honestly hard to believe that there were eight little boys playing in the next room. They all played together so nicely. Six were from preschool and one was a friend from down the street who Kaes plays with weekly.
Yum! Chocolate Batman cake! Pascal made Kaes another fantastic birthday cake that was enjoyed by all.

It may have gotten a little louder after the cake...

We had another party for our friends and family later that same day. We all met at the A & W for supper and it was a surprise for Kaes that everyone was going to be there. Unfortunately, I did forget my camera for that one. Here is Kaes playing some of his new Lego with Taylor and Arwynn a couple of days later. It took Pascal a few days to get all of the new Lego put together. Kaes is is very loved and lucky boy who I know had a great birthday!!

Brityn's 5th Birthday

Wow, Brityn is FIVE! She started kindergarten in the fall and is just getting so big. I don't think I have missed one of her birthdays yet and this was no exception. Although her party was not until the following weekend, Pascal, Kaes and I went to see her on her actual birthday. She even had a Pro-D day so we got to spend almost the entire day together. This is her beautiful new party dress from Nana and Grandpa.

We spent the morning with the Crete kids and after lunch took Kaes and Brityn to the mall to look at toys and have some ice-cream. The kids also decided to ride the little kid carousel, cute!

We enjoyed our visit with Mom and Tim as well. A little short, but sweet none the less.

Kaes received an early birthday present from Nana and Grandpa, lucky guy. Here he is playing his new Leapster; can you say gamer like his Dad?

Our new living room!

We spent the first part of November renovating the living room. It is quite a change from the bright green it used to be and we LOVE it! Funny how it spiralled a little out of control though. The new TV as seen above is what started the whole thing. Pascal had been wanting a tv for quite some time and had this one all picked out after some in-depth research. Then, it went on sale and the fun began...

I said a new tv deserves a new paint job. We had rearranged a few weeks prior to starting the renovation and the room really did need paint. The old paint was 7 years old and honestly did need to be refreshed. However, the new tv also led to the new tv stand and the new couch. No, it is not white, but it is very light colored. The guy in the furniture store actually tried to talk out of such a color with having Kaes and all, but we knew what we wanted and then went for it. We love it, do you? If you haven't seen it , stop by and check it our sometime!!
