Birthdays and Superbowls

Dear Kate,
This past weekend was a busy weekend for us. Friday night we headed to Mexican and Nona and Papa joined us, along with Ellie's Aunt Meg. You were your typical excellent self, even putting yourself to sleep in the car seat as we ate! On Saturday, you got to hang out with Daddy for a bit while Sister and I headed to a birthday party for a little girl in her class, but then we met you and Daddy at Ellie's house because it was her big 3rd birthday!!! She had a Beauty and the Beast party and everything was beautifully decorated in yellow! Your Aunts (Amy and Jill) were both eager to get their hands on you and I had little time of holding you myself!
You got to hang out with Jake for a bit, too. When I say hang out with Jake, I mean Mommy and Miss Leigh made the two of you look at each other. You put on a good smile for him and of course he was all smiles. You were precious as always, and again, impressed everyone with how flexible you were with being passed around and content with whatever passed your way!
Here's you and Daddy, trying to steal some of Ellie's cupcake...
On Sunday morning, you and Daddy and Abby all went to the grocery store while Mommy straightened up the house for our big Super bowl party! From what Daddy said, you all three did pretty good, although your sister was a little disappointed there was no cart for her to push. Soon enough the party started and when I say the party started, I mean it! Let's see, the gang was all here, and a friend from Daddy's work and his wife and 2 year old daughter, and Miss Auburn, Mr. Matt, Chloe and Cole joined us, and then Nona, Papa and Aunt Meg too! The kiddos were CRAZY, but you and Jake and Christopher were great. You really did 'play' with Jake this time. He played on your mat and you jumped in front of him in the exersaucer! Aunt Meg was getting some bonding time with you, too. She was holding you and the next thing I know, she's upstairs changing your diaper then wiping your little spitty mouth! She was a big help because my focus was keeping those crazy kids out of my bathroom, and dressed!! That's another story, or well, your sister's story!! Anyway, we had a fun time and eventually the game came to an end, which was about the same time as your day - however, Mommy was GOING to win the big pot of money but the Giants decided to go for 2 and it surprised Mommy and I let out a little scream. You weren't too happy about that, but I got you back asleep, however I'm short on cash. Your Aunt Steph walked away with most of the money!!!!
A fun, fun weekend. Love you sweet thing!!
