TEN

So I'm back to blogging!  At least for today, ha!  Over the Christmas break my girls broke out our past blog books, and it was so fun looking at memories and pictures.  I am so glad that I have pictures and stories of things that happened over the years in those books.  I forget so many memories, and my blog books help me to remember special times with the family.  I told the girls that I would try to start posting more in 2016 so that this year I would have a book to print out at the end of the year.  So we'll see how long this lasts! ;)

We always get to ring in the new year with a birthday celebration - Kenzie's birthday is January 3, so we start off the year with birthday gifts right after Christmas.  It's pretty amazing (can you hear the sarcasm in my typed words?).  Especially since Kylie's birthday is only 17 days later.  So those two girls always get a lot of gifts over a short period of time. 

I asked Kenzie this year what she wanted to do for her birthday and she insisted that she wanted a Charlie Brown party.  She instructed me that she wanted all of her friends to dress up like their favorite Charlie Brown character.  Imagine my surprise when she said she wanted to dress up like PigPen! 

I found her Snoopy cake at Walmart (and it was the perfect size, because we only had four little girls over, so it was a small cake for a small party).  She of course wanted to put a PigPen figurine on it, so of course I let her do it...

She was super excited about her cake and about her party.  The girls rode the gocart, played spies, and of course had cake and ice cream and opened lots of presents!  It was a fun day for her. 

This girl has added so much quirky joy to our lives, and I could not imagine life without her.  In honor of 10 years with this quirk, I wanted to post some of my latest pictures of my favorite Kenzie.

 

Her face in that last picture trips me out!  That's Kenzie at her finest ;)

Happy Wednesday!
