aydan is 3!

You've come a long way little girlie!

Aydan had such a great 3rd birthday. We celebrated her day with a super awesome cake from Amanda's Creative Cakes along with lots of food and presents and family. It was a great day. I really want to make sure Aydan has a special birthday. She was born Dec 20th and because it's so close to Christmas I want it so she feels like it's all about her. Not lumped in with Christmas. She is special too! Here are some shots of her day and a link to check out Amanda's Cakes!

I am so excited that we, and when I say we I mean Jeff and his dad, are starting to work on finishing our basement! When we purchased the house we got it with the material we'd need to finish the basement. The kids have always shared a room so that has been no big deal. And they have so much more room in this house, still sharing, than they did at the 'tiny house'. Liam and Connor are super pumped to move downstairs and get their own space though. I think that Aydan might be a tad lonely in her huge purple room when the boys are settled downstairs.

It will definitely be an adjustment.

Here's some before pictures of our basement and hopefully it won't be too long until I'm boasting after pictures. A finished home for a Christmas present is music to my ears!
