JUMPIN JANES

Another BIG celebration for Miss Molly today!

Brian and I took Molly and Lexi to Jumpin Janes for 4.5 hours!

(Kelly was in school)

It was a day to celebrate Molly giving up her binki!!!! I am so proud of her! The girls had a great time....and I saw A LOT of smiles! It was a nice celebration of being a big girl!!!

Molly's Library Friend Party/Playdate

This morning was Molly's library friend birthday party/play-date. There is a group of 6 stay-at-home moms that all met through the library Wee-Read story time program. The program does not run from before Thanksgiving until after the first of the new year. The six moms decided we still wanted the kids to get together for those 2 months....so we take turns at each others houses for play-dates! The kids get along great and the moms get to talk! :) Although we can't all get together every week...it's fun for those who can make it. We missed two moms & kids today!

Since it's so close to Molly's birthday...I thought it would be fun to have a little birthday celebration for her and have the play-date this week at our house.

Molly had a great time....and so did I!!!

Molly with her birthday cupcakes before her friends arrived.

Molly LOVES Swiper.....she always wants to point to him!

Molly listening to everyone sing to her!!!

It's so much fun turning THREE!

(The two youngest in the Boge family.....there older brother Joe is in Kelly's Kindergarten class)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Kelly has wanted to get out Christmas decorations for a couple weeks now. It seems like there were a lot of lights and decorations up weeks before Thanksgiving this year!!! I have told her the past couple years that we weren't putting Christmas stuff out until AFTER Molly's birthday! I always want Molly's birthday to be SPECIAL...even though it is around the holidays.

Well....I compromised with Kelly this year. Since we had Molly's birthday party this past weekend, I told Kelly that we could put up the girls little tree and the Little People Christmas stuff up after school today....and put up the rest this weekend after Molly's REAL birthday. The girls really enjoyed putting up all there own ornaments!!! This is the second year with a FUN pink little tree!

All smiles after decorating there tree

Molly's 3rd Birthday PARTY - Dora

We celebrated Molly's 3rd birthday with our traditional family party on Saturday at our house. Although her birthday party was a week before her actual birthday (she is 3 on Dec.3 - her golden birthday!) we had a wonderful Dora birthday celebration! We have a few other things planned to celebrate Molly turning 3 too!

Molly & her amazing Dora cake!

Molly thought her Dora balloon needed to be in the picture too!

Turning THREE is even more FUN for Mom & Dad!!!

Molly has ALWAYS done everything when SHE was ready! Tonight after her party and after reading a book in bed she hands me her binki (ALL ON HER OWN) and says "Mommy, I not need my binki anymore. I am 3 and a big girl now! You give my binki to a real little baby." What an adorable BIG girl I have!!!! I am so proud of my almost 3 year old!!!!

Thanksgiving - Kindergarten style!

I helped in Kelly's room for the Kindergarten treat party on Wednesday afternoon!

The kids enjoyed yummy cupcakes and juice boxes. Kelly has a great class! I really enjoy my time in her classroom!
