Birthdays and other important holidays are bound to be a huge bummer for Randy and I and all our family back home but I am determined to make sure the girls still have great ones!
Kaylee's birthday plans are well underway!
-the location is booked, movie theater on post, we will be watching Tangled (or Rapunzel as Kaylee chose it)
-since her birthday is on a Saturday, she gets to have her party on the same day (huge plus because different days is way confusing for little ones)
-I've alredy received all her presents in the mail (just need to find a time when she's not around me--which is never--to wrap them)
-made out all the invitations (just need to hand them all out - and hope the kids give them to their parents :\ )
-have a super ton of decorations thanks to the mama and papa :)
-have goodie bags personally made up for each kiddo.... thanks again to mama and papa :)
-I still have to figure out where I'm going to get the hillium (sp?) balloons blown up and get more balloons to have on the floor at the house (birthday tradition is to have the house decorated and balloons galore when the girls wake up), and I need to get baking supplies to make her cake for the house (she has choosen the big top cupcake frosted like a pig, lol, we will see how that goes ), and I need to order her cake.
Other than having some of the most important people in Kaylee's life on the wrong side of the ocean, she should have a blast!
As for other holidays... Mine and Randys' 8th anniversary will be in Oct but he will be getting ready to leave for school the next day or so....Halloween- all 3 girls already have their outfits picked out (and they happen to be ones we already have! super yay!) Kaitlyn is going to be the Littlest Petshop monkey, Kaylee is going to be Tinkerbell, and Rosalee is also going as Tinkerbell! For Thanksgiving Randy will still be gone so I'm hoping to get some invites from neighbors/friends *hint hint*. This is the first year for since 2007 that we will be having Christmas in our own house! (lots of moves), so we plan to make it awesome. We have LOADS of decorations for outside and inside. The tree (which Kaitlyn hopes so very badly will be a real one -if they sell in Italy???), will be decked out in lots of awesome ornaments, garland and whatnot that we've been collecting over the years. There will be new tradations started and old ones (cookies for santa, reindeer food on the lawn for the reindeer , etc) followed. Hopefully 'Santa' will even make his appereance at the house again while the girls are ready to sleep and bring their stockings (too much fun for us and the girls, we LOVE this). I already have presents bought for Randy and some for both the girls (thanks to Ebay). Have to get some stuff in October or so for everyone back home to make sure they get it in time with the crazy holiday shipping... and as for next year, Kaitlyn is already making plans for her birthday lol.
