The last day Pam was in Texas, we had a girls day to celebrate Carlye's and Pam's birthdays. We all got pedicures.
Carlye was first and had to wait for everyone but then she watched Dane for Aunt Pam while she finished up.
Carianne - my camera is messing up. Sometimes it focuses really well and then the next picture is our of focus. It is what I get for buying cheap.
Pam - so I will have a cute picture of her.
At Queen Bee's for lunch
Carianne loves to try on all of the hats in the place!
Dane in his hat - a cute tam that probably was made for a doll because it was too small for Dane.
Yesterday was our son-in-law - Chris Davis' Birthday. I had blogged in advance and spaced that it was Chris' birthday until yesterday during Church.
This is one of my favorite pictures that we took while in Texas. Dutch gets overwhelmed and Chris and Pam are so good about how to help him. This picture is so sweet. I think it is funny that my favorite pictures of the trip are of parents holding their children. Happy Birthday Chris. We hope you have a great year!
These are pictures of Carl with his nephews. Dane is on the right and his sister Tiffany's son, Boston is on the left. Emmaline is in the front. Dane and Carl share a birthday.
These pictures make me laugh because every single picture of Carlye opening gifts has either Nathanael with the trash bag and Abigail in them or both. I think Abigail was in all of them but I edited her out because she moved and was only halfway in of some of them. By the way - the day we opened Christmas presents as a family, Nathanael was there with the trash bag, collecting garbage as we opened our gifts. He cannot stand clutter. He is certainly his Grandpa Bailey's grandson in the way.
It's funny as I look at these pictures now, I see that Carlye was starting to look like she was getting a bad headache. Later - after the party she complained her head hurt so bad that she didn't want to eat or go anywhere. The baby bottle in the background it Dane's.
Here she is unwrapping the blue Webkinz faun from us and finding out the Grandpa's present to her was her loftbed - her hearts desire.
The money in her hand and her other birthday money eventually went to buy a guinea pig. She and Nathanael ( with money he had saved from Christmas) are now the proud owners of two guinea pigs - Bugsy and Henry. They got them the day before we left. Their dog, Emmaline (a Yorkie) thinks they are her puppies!
A group shot after the silly string fight.
Notice how Nathanael has his can still tucked under his arm (He's in the front in the red shirt). He still had a full can! He let go of it a few minutes later and some of the older girls showed their wrath. He had the scratches on his face up until we left to prove it.
On the front row in the far right is Dutch. He is 3. He spent the whole time trying to figure out how the silly string spray can worked. Because he is so big - people assume he is much older.
Carianne and Jodi cleaning silly string off of themselves and Jodi cleaning up her camera. The kids thought it was funny spraying Jodi's camera with the string. Hopefully there was no harm done. On the left in the background is April - a family friend.
The end of the silly string pictures.
As one of the activities for Carlye's birthday - they had a Silly String fight. Her Uncle Chris's (in the burgundy t-shirt towards the right) strategy was to stand in one spot and just slowly turn - getting everyone around him. He had hardly any string on him. Other people were covered. The kids had fun.
Chris stopped for a moment to show his son, Dutch, how to spray the Silly String.
Clean-up time. The attendee with the most Silly String won a prize.
The aftermath before the Clean-up began in earnest.
On December 29, 2011 - Carlye Anne Pfiester had her 11th birthday party at the Pfiester home in Kerrville, Texas. Here are some pictures from the party - in fact for the next several days there will be pictures from the party so Carlye and her mom will have access to them. We usually download the pictures onto each others computers before we leave but this time we didn't. The focus was getting Carlye's bed done and Carianne's computer fixed (she got a replacement instead). As it turned out Carl and Carianne had to do the finishing touches on Carlye's bed as you can see on Carianne's blog.
A group shot.
