Saturday Snippet!

Hello friends!  We have had a busy fun filled week which has kept me away from my normal blogging routine.

Monday marked miss Addy's 2nd birthday.  We are doing a small celebration today finally which will consist of cake and ice cream with my family who are in town.  Then tomorrow our small group is celebrating.  Since we decided not to do a big party this year, she has been having small celebrations, which have extended the fun!  Dad took her to McDonalds yesterday for their celebration while I was at work :)

Today we reveal the long awaited playroom.  It's not too fancy, and I would have like to spent more time on the wall decor, but her cool new play kitchen is in there, along with the awesome kids table Jon made her.  I will feature it on the blog soon!

It's amazing how much they change in such a short amount of time!

This past week we have had some house guests!! Some international workers with the Christian & Missionary Alliance (the denomination Crosspoint Alliance is affiliated with) we here to speak for our Missions conference week.  We had a blast with them!  So fun to have four other kids in the house.  Addy loved all the excitement.  She actually has been asking us about them since they left.  Here we all are in the youth room at the church.

It's been a great week!  Next week will likely feel super slow and quiet since we have been so busy over the past three.  Well I better be on my way.   I have a cake to frost and some other birthday party tasks to attend to.  I joked on twitter last night that if the difference between Addy's 1st and 2nd bday parties is any indication of future birth order treatment, I already feel sorry for my second born (and no I'm not announcing anything as my facebook friends wondered) :)

The great thing is no one cares about those over the top birthday details but the parents (at least at this age), so be free all you pinterest burdened moms.  You are NOT the only mom who barely has time to purchase a cake for your childs birthday party contrary to what Pinterest may have you believe :)

Happy weekend to you!
