Birthday Eve

It's the day before our little princess turns ONE!  A day to do whatever and have fun!

I spent the first 3 hours of our morning completing our taxes.  Fun!  And I'm so glad I went with a tax accountant this year.  Our taxes were so complicated this year because we had to amend last years, plus do this years with the finalization of the adoption.  There was NO way that I wanted to attempt them.  It may have costed an extreme amount to get them done, but it's well worth it knowing they are done right and if we get audited (which many adoption tax returns do), i can rest assure they are accurate.  This is one huge weight lifted off my shoulders and am so glad to be done.  Move check!

While I was gone, Sterling took a nap and woke up about 15 minutes after I returned.  She's so happy today!  We played for about 2 hours while brother slept.  It's always so much fun to have one on one with each kid.  Xander gets his while Sissy sleeps.  

First up on the task was to practice showing "I'm ONE".  She did it put planted her finger on her forehead, silly goose!

Such a happy baby with so much slobber

Batting her eyes

Playing Peek-a-boo, it's her favorite to do behind the computer and pop out

BOO!

Ball practice

Then brother woke up from his nap, they played and I wrapped presents, and Sissy went down for her second nap.  While she napped, I was organizing documents for the move.  I guess getting the taxes done has set me into gear and it's time to get things organized.  

Xander and I went to McDonalds to get dinner.  Ate.  Cleaned up.

Made Sterling's cake.  Will do the decorating tomorrow, I'm so excited, I just hope it turns out as cute as I'm hoping.  According to hubs, there's no need to decorate, wrap presents, have cake, nothing.  She won't know.  Um, excuse me.  I know!  It's her day and I'm going to make it a big deal.  We are doing things a bit different from Xander's 1st birthday, but I think it will be just as special.

I cleaned up the kitchen while the kids got their pjs on.  Xander snuck in the kitchen and stole a cupcake off the counter and when I went to take it from him, he shoved it in his mouth!!!  Wow!  Sneaky little boy already.

And then it was playtime again...

Being goofballs

Love these two!

Silly faces

This boy right here, well he loves pictures lately, but this is the face I typically get..."cheese!"

LOVE

AAAAAHHHHHHHH

And now the kids are sleeping.  The cake is cooling.  Hubs and I are watching Compliance.  Tomorrow I have big plans for a very special little girl.  She may have went to bed in boy pajamas, but tomorrow she's going to wake up the birthday girl!

Have a great day!
