And There Went February

We must apologize once again. No excuses, we just haven’t updated the blog in over a month. We’ve been snapping pictures, just haven’t been doing anything with them. At the beginning of February, Savannah had her Second Birthday! We were all very excited, but not nearly as excited as the big Birthday Girl. The week leading to her Birthday we would ask her “What is going to be on your birthday cake?” She would always reply “Cupcakes! Cupcakes Mommy!” because she knew she was going to be getting cupcakes at Miss Jenny’s house. She had a Nemo cake. Actually it was a Clown Fish cake, because Disney/Pixar has copy righted Nemo. On the Saturday before her Birthday we had the immediate family over. Linda’s Brother and Sister came over with their families and Linda’s parents were over as well as Grandma Huster. We had BBQ and Nemo Birthday Cake. Savannah had a lot of fun playing with all of her cousins. Then on Monday she got to open her gifts from Mommy and Daddy and have more Cake! She was really into tearing into her presents this year and would get really excited every time she opened one. Her eyes would get big and she would pull the gift out of the wrapper and say “Oooooh” then take the gift to Mommy and look for the next one. For the week or two following her Birthday she would say “Present Mommy? Present?” Thinking she was going to get more presents. Luckily that finally stopped. This year she got a lot of stuff for her baby doll. She loves playing with her baby doll and has become quite the Mother Hen. She got a stroller from Miss Jenny and a high chair from Mommy and Daddy. I think Pup gets to use them more than her baby doll. She just loves to take Pup for a walk or feed her baby doll. And of course you can’t have a Birthday without balloons. I don’t know why we buy her toys. All she needs is a box, some balloons and a flashlight. She was running around the house letting her balloons fly behind her for nearly an hour. She was absolutely crazy. Then, naturally, she got tired of all the running and laid down on the couch. Did she let go of those balloons? Heavens no. She just hung on to them. One of her newest favorites is to play with the Play Dough she got on Christmas. The first time we got it out she was very excited and there were lots of Ooohs and Aaahs. She made starts and shapes and rolled it into balls. Then we got the little machine out that pushes the Play Dough through the little stencils making long strands of Play Dough. That was fine until we made the spaghetti. She thought it looked like snakes and she wanted nothing to do with it. She would back up in her chair and act as though she was scared. It was quite amusing. But now she just thinks it’s spaghetti and makes meatballs to go with it. We have been having lots of fun here at the Denison house. We’ve also been working really hard. We’ve gotten Mom’s house cleaned out for the most part. At least we have it organized into “sell” and “keep”. We have scheduled the auction of the contents of the house for March 21, 2009. I don’t know what time it will start yet, but it will be in the morning. We have also worked out a deal on the house, so we think we have it sold. Actually we know we do, but we don’t have the paperwork all completed so we can’t count it as sold just yet. Other than that we’ve just been hanging out with friends and playing with the coolest little girl on the planet. We’ll try to get this updated sooner next time, but we make no promises.
