Cake Monster!

Cookie Monster, look out--a new star of the show has arrived: Cake Monster (aka Sidney)! Tonight we celebrated Mom's birthday with everyone, and of course we needed more cake. Sidney loved having cake two nights in a row! I was in charge of making the cake today--if only Dr. Daynes could see me now--baking cakes right and left :-) Sidney virtually inhaled any cake that was placed before her, and then she wanted some ice cream. She's so silly. Camden and Riley enjoyed helping Grandma blow out the candle on the cake, and they were so excited about the cute birthday cards they made for her. We had some exciting games of hide-and-seek tonight and had a fun evening celebrating Mom's birthday. We also planned the big Christmas sleepover with Camden and Riley which will take place later this week. So many fun things to do!

It was fun to go to church today and see everybody. I have a lot of very good friends in our ward here, and there were also a lot of new faces. It's funny how quickly a ward can change! I think that some people didn't recognize me with my crazy curly hair. I think my hair has even gotten bigger just since Thursday--it needs to be tamed a bit. So, one thing on the agenda for tomorrow is getting a little haircut. I also get to go visit Grandpa Taylor and Grandma Cathy tomorrow night which will be very fun! Well, I'm off to bed--it has been a fun day today. I took about a 2.5 hr. nap this afternoon. I think I'm still trying to catch up on sleep from this past semester.
