Sowby's Christmas Eve Party

Every year my aunt & uncle, Karen & Sherm, have a Christmas Eve party. I consider them a second mom & dad because I lived with them for two summers during college. I loved those summers & I love them:) A word has to be said about Karen's house...probably the cutest Christmas-decorated house I've laid my eyes on! Her colors are not very typical: black, white & red. She uses only those colors and it just pops! I wish I would have taken pictures of her tree. Anyway, please note her stockings in the picture with Phil & Reese. My mom sewed them for her. Too cute!

 Harley, one of my cousin's daughters, & Reese.  What style they have;) I had to snap a picture of the these girls in their outfits.
 Check out those stockings...I love them!
 Grandma & Grrandpa Jennings. It is hard to get Reese to go to anyone else when these guys are around.
 Jamie & Nick (Reese calls him "Nac") Reese has such doting aunts & uncles.
 We left with black & white cupcakes that had a red & black Sowby label. Karen also gave Reese reindeer food that she absolutely loved & a Santa cookie.

Miss Two-Year Old

Reese turned 2 today. She loved wearing her "Princess Burfday Crown." I think she definitely knew it was HER day! We are going to have a party for her later, but on her special day she:

  • Enjoyed the balloons all over the house when she woke up
  • Loved her morning hash browns
  • Picked out her tutu & bootsies (boots) to wear
  • Was thrilled to take chocolate cupcakes to Tina's (her babysitter while I worked a half day)
  • Visited Grandma McDonald at work
  • Went to the aquarium w/ Addie, Sarah & Maysie
  • Ate her favorite food, pizza, at the Pizza Factory w/ Grandma Jennings, Mom & Dad
  • Played with her new little kitchen set
  • (Of course mom forgot her camera during the day festivities, so this photo is from Grandma's iphone)
Happy Birthday Reese! You bring so much fun & joy into our lives!
