Dinner with the Grandparents

Here's some pictures of an evening with the grandparents. CC is so happy to be watching Mickey Mouse with her grandmas. Below there is a video of her earlier in the evening dancing her patooties off!!

CC - "The Dancing Monkey"

CC Joins the 2-Year Olds at Church

Well, it's a big day in the Costa house, it is CC's first day in the 2-year old room at church. I know she is going to like it so much better than the nursery. Where has the time gone...seriously?? Here's some pictures I took of her before we left for church Monday night.

The Playroom

Dad and I decided that CC need a playroom all to herself so we moved the office to the front room and let CC take over the old office room.  Here's a few pictures.  We aren't done yet, but it's a start.  I need some decorating ideas from my southern friend.   I'll have to give her a call today.

Birthday with Uncle Tyler - Part III : )

Okay, now for Birthday - Part III. Uncle Tyler came down for a visit with Grandpa and Grandma Costa all the way from University of Idaho. Of course we watched the U of I / BSU game. While CC will inevitably decide to be a BSU fan, she made her uncle happy by supporting the Vandals and wearing her little cheerleading outfit that he got her. For the record, I have to say....Go BSU!!!

Uncle Tyler got her this HUGE, and I mean HUGE ball house toy. She loves it. She goes in there and lays down and plays with all the toys and brings her animals in there with her. What fun. I don't remember having anything like this when I was little.

Birthday with the Grandparents - Part II

Since Grandma DaLuz was sick for CC's party, we decided to have a birthday re-enactment so that they could celebrate with us and open their gifts for her. We kept all of the decorations up, except the balloons were hanging a little low. We watched CC's One Year Video that dad prepared and had a lasagna feast.

Here is a video of CC driving her new car! (Turn down the music.)

The Party Blower

CC's new words are "help me".  CC brought the party blower over to dad and after "help me please" dad quickly showed her how to blow the party horn.  The child has more toys than she can possibly play with and she wants to play with the party horn.  My little weirdo!

Birthday Girl - The Next Day

Here she is sitting in her big girl chair from Grandpa and Grandma Costa. She just loves feeding her new baby doll from the bottle. On ths morning we made breakfast and Dad made her some special Mickey pancakes, though I don't think it turned out as well as he had hoped. CC also got her eisel to draw on and best of all her new kitchen. She has been playing with that non stop, she just loves it. The last picture she is busy playing with her new piano from Grandpa and Grandma Cavallo. Boy that thing makes some noise and she loves every second of it!! : )

Caitlynn and Grandma

I just couldn't resist snapping these pictures of CC with her grandma.  Aren't they so sweet?

The Monkey Party!!!

And finally, here are pictures from CC's Monkey party. Most of the kids came dressed as animals and CC wore her monkey suit from trick or treating. There were nine kids all pumped up on sugar, wow, it was crazy. I thought the bouncy house that we set up in the garage would wear them out, but not!! Our good friend made deliciously irresistable monkey cupcakes for desert and we also had banana splits.

Here are some pictures of the house before everthing got crazy. Me, Dad and grandma had a great time decorating everything this year.

We played Pin the Banana on the Monkey

The Monkey Pinata (Hi Dad)

Thank you everyone for joining us for CC's special day. I can't believe my daughter is two years old already. Where has the time gone?? Is there a pause button for this?
