Happy Birthday Holden!

It's been 5 years since we welcomed Holden into this world! 

Holden arrived 3 weeks early. 

 

Getting ready to leave the hospital in his huge outfit.

I can't believe my little boy is 5 today!

Happy Birthday to a sweet, kind, smart, sensitive, energetic and sometimes naughty little boy!  Holden is one of those kids that likes all activities.  He is deligent and will practice and practice  until he teaches himself how to do something well.  Holden likes to concentrate on his playing whether it's crashing cars, playing with dinosaurs, kicking the soccer ball or doing art.  He still asks, "will you play with me, will you play with me?" AND calls your name over and over again until he as your full attention.  A negotiator from the womb, he can talk his way to more sweets, a shortened time out and pretty much his way of thinking.  

His sweet voice, smile, curls and long eyelashes melt my heart.

Big Top Cupcake

We were in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving and Adnan thought it would be fun to make some big top cupcakes...(for me to make some big top cupcakes).

They were so much fun to make! I made 4 different kinds!

Leila and Holden were big helpers-pouring, mixing and their favorite part

DECORATING!

This is the top of the cupcake - yellow cake mix
This is the bottom of the cupcake with a pudding filling. It was fun to add the filling, but I'm not much for fillings, so I wouldn't do it again.

The cake on the right was a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and a chocolate pudding filling.
The cake on the left was carrot cake with a cheesecake filling and cream cheese frosting.

Lemon cake with lemon icing and a lemon filling

This was the first one I made and probably came out the best. Yellow cake with chocolate icing and chocolate filling.

Owls

Leila and Holden got these cool owls for a big brother and big sister gift from Ms. Donna! As a thank you, they made these cards. Leila drew the outline of the owl for both she and Holden then they each colored their own.

The Book Parade

Leila's book parade was today at school. Each student gets to pick a character from a book and then make a poster, puppet or costume. Leila was Charlotte from Charlotte's Web. The entire school participates in a parade with their class!!

Luckily, Aunt CoCo was able to come over and help! CoCo cut the spider pieces, while Leila painted the spider!!
