I have been insanely busy between doctor's visits and getting ready for Christmas. My shopping has been done for a while, but I had to wrap (which is almost done) and now I'm working on the menu.

I have not had enough time to pull together the full menu (with recipes) for the party, so that part will have to wait. So I figured in the mean time I'll do some picture posts. Have a lot of cute things to share. I'll start with her birthday party b/c my house is still a disaster from not being home much the past couple of weeks.

Alysa was exhausted but snuck into Kayla's room to lay her Leapster instead of napping. This would by why she was begging for a nap during her party.
