Busy Birthday Weekend

We have had an incredibly busy, but fun, birthday weekend! We're exhausted - tomorrow will be a day of rest for us! :)

Yesterday after Jordyn woke up, we took her downstairs to her big birthday present from Mom and Dad ...

She LOVES her new kitchen.

I did a lot of searching for the "perfect" kitchen. This kitchen is complete with "granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and modern cabinets." The burner also makes a sizzling noise when the fry pan is on and a boiling noise when the pot is on. Jordyn's favorite thing to do is to open and close the cupboards and hide the food/dishes in them.

Justin and I both took the day off yesterday to celebrate his birthday and Jordyn's birthday. Justin got a massage in the morning, so Jordyn and I went and visited daycare and dropped off birthday treats.

We went out for lunch at Applebees. Jordyn had her first kids meal ... a hot dog (real healthy, I know), applesauce, and apple juice. She ate almost the entire hot dog minus the bun. She is so picky about food but loves hot dogs.

Since she was under the age of 12, she could have a free dessert ... if you're over 12, you're out of luck - so Justin didn't get one. (except for the fact that we ate most of hers)

Jordyn LOVED the dessert - yummy chocolate mousse, oreos, hot fudge, and whipped cream.

In the afternoon we headed to RR to spend some time with Justin's family. His brother and his fiance were here for the weekend from Ohio. We had dinner with the family and then spent most of the evening at their house as well.

Before dinner, Justin and I took Jordyn to the town's business trick-or-treat. The weather was awful so we only went to about 5 places, but we really went to see my mom. Jordyn was a flower for Halloween ...

Visiting Grandma Ronda ...

Being silly with Daddy ...

So sweet!

She loves her Daddy!

The cutest flower ever ...

Uncle Darin and Jordyn ...

Since we knew Jordyn would have lots of gifts to open tonight at her party, we had her open her gifts from Gpa and Gma Overman and Uncle Darin and Aunt Kathryn last night.

Throwing out the tissue paper ...

Reading the card with Mommy ... (and check out her new boots - so cute!)

Jordyn got a new suitcase with her name on it along with lots of clothes from Gpa and Gma Overman and Uncle Darin and Aunt Kathryn. (Pictures to come later with the rest of the gift pictures.)

I have a couple of other posts, but I may not get them done until tomorrow - one will be from her party and the other from trick-or-treating.

We hope you have a Happy Halloween!
