Hi everyone, hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day yesterday. We had a lovely time at my inlaws, it was a quiet afternoon, just the 5 of us (plus Boo!). I made two desserts to take over, but I'll show you those later this week.
Today is Kristen's actual birthday! Yes, 11 years ago today I had just gotten through 46 hours of labor (seriously! it started on Thanksgiving day which was of course a Thursday, but Kristen didn't arrive until Saturday morning!) . . . and you can BET I'm having a glass of champagne tonight to celebrate that victory, lol :-) That is my yearly tradition, every year on Kristen's birthday I open a bottle of bubbly. I'm hoping one day she'll share a glass with me on this special day. So, here's a few pictures of the birthday girl today . . . .
opening cards from the family back home
always filled with the 'green stuff'! THANK YOU Uncle Michael.
and many thanks to Nana and Aunty Brenda and Uncle George.
Mommy and Daddy bought her a Kinect for Xbox this year, and yesterday she got some games for it too from Grandma and Papa
she also got the new Justin Bieber Christmas CD
And finally . . . .
Meet Bella!
Kristen wanted another hamster for her birthday, but this time a teddy bear hamster, not a dwarf one like she had before. I must admit I prefer the look of these ones, they are so cute and much easier to handle too. We went out this morning to Petco (they are the only ones that carry them around here, Petsmart only have the dwarf ones) and we brought this little cutie home with us. Kristen named her Bella :-)
she is very calm and easy to handle. Kristen has picked her up easily today but we've left her in her cage for a bit to get settled . I think she's going to be a cute little addition to the family.
Boo was certainly fascinated with her!
