helping Cait celebrate.
We had a small party today for Cait. She invited family and a few friends. Thank you all for helping Caitlin feel like such a special birthday girl!

Happy Birthday Cait!

She got a pink piggy bank
Our traditional birthday sticky buns
Our beautiful girl

I know I say it every time we have a birthday, but it's true! I can't believe she's 3. She is growing up so quickly. Cait is half girly-girl and half tom-boy. She adores her brothers and loves to sing and dance. She claims she will be a ballet dancer when she grows up (uh oh). We love you Winifred Caitlin Taylor.

Once again we went to our favorite little tree farm, The Old Barn, and got a great tree. We were really wishing we had 20' ceilings as they had some beautiful trees and none over $36! We even called my parents to try and convince them they needed a real tree this year (the have really high ceilings)! Our tree is up and looks beautiful. I cannot believe it's that time of year again!

tree day!

Haven't added anything this week because Cait has had a stomach bug all week. So happy it hasn't traveled throughout the family, but we are ready for it to be gone.

We are going to get our tree today! I love going to the little tree farm we found and the kids are super excited. O has his last climbing session and then we're off to the tree farm!
