My little monkey, Hannah, turns TWO today! I can't believe that I became a mom two years ago. She has been such a blessing in our lives and continues to be an AWESOME big sister to Gryffyn. Here is a picture from this morning. She is wearing her birthday crown and her Funky Monkey shirt....very appropriate.

Oliver has been really awesome with the girls lately. He has always had a soft spot for Hannah, but I think he really likes Gryffyn now that she is eating REAL food. This means that she is now dropping REAL food from her highchair that Oliver can enjoy.
I am really loving the fact that we got Hannah a kitchen for her birthday this year. I have said it before and I will say it again...If the girls are awake, they are at the Pink Polka Dot Kitchen cooking up a storm!
We had to head to the storage unit today and everyone seemed to be in a good mood even though that is not something someone WANTS to plan on doing on a Saturday.

Hannah also got to ride her rocking horse...also you might have seen this outfit on Hannah a few times before, but today was the first time she dressed herself. Yay Hannah!

And in the last bit of news, Gryffyn is really enjoying Hannah's Princess Patio Chair. It might be time for her Dearie and Papa to buy another one.

We decided to go ahead and give Hannah her birthday present from us. Since her birthday falls on the 22nd of December (so close to Christmas), we didn't want her birthday to be "lost" in the celebration of Christmas. I think celebrating her birthday earlier in December is the right way to go. First, I will say that putting this kitchen set together was not as easy as the directions said it would be. I remember a time when birthdays were all about the fun and magic. I had a picture in my head about Hannah waking up from her nap and her kitchen would be waiting for her, like it had appeared out of nowhere. Completely forgot that I would be the one assembling it during that nap! It was so worth it seeing her play and pretend to be making stuff. If she is not asleep, then she can be found at her kitchen.
Hannah likes having her assistant around to help, but I think Gryffyn "the assistant" needs to be cut off from the bar. She is a little too young.
Seriously, her eye is starting to squint like the guy on the Captain Morgan Rum bottle.

Gryffyn is starting to try more "not mashed" food. She had watermelon about a week ago and wasn't a huge fan, but she seems to really like bananas.

We had an extremely relaxing weekend! We got to hang out at the apartment in our PJs a lot of the time. We went on Saturday and Sunday for a little bit to look at houses with our realtor. We are concentrating on two different areas, either Boynton Beach or Jupiter. Both great areas and both have LOTS of positives, but we just got to see if either house has the RIGHT house for all of us. We didn't find that house this weekend, but got to know a little more options that are out there.

Gryffyn says GOOD MORNING!

After looking at houses, we came back to the apartment (and got back in PJs) and watched the SEC Championship Game (Auburn vs. South Carolina). It was a great game to watch and the girls were awesome by acting mildly entertained by the game. All I have to say is that on the 4th day of December, Santa gave to me a 13th VICTORY!!! Auburn is going on to the BCS Championship game on January 10th and I am so excited!

Gryffyn is STANDING!

Hannah says WAR EAGLE!

While Daniel and I were a little distracted by the game, Hannah got in the tubberware container that had birthday presents in it...what did she find?

DOLLY....a present from her Aunt Na, Uncle Dustin, Hunter and Colton

Gryffyn Sunday morning happy as can be
