HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA!

Lydia spent her birthday at the hospital getting dental work done. Fun right. My kids have really bad teeth. The dentist said they aren't getting the blood flow they need to be health and strong. He compared them to dead antlers. Lydia wouldn't drink the sleeping juice they usually give in their office so we had to go up to Primary Children's Hospital, where she could get general anesthesia. Being in the hospital and seeing all the other kids who were there for real reasons just made me so grateful for my healthy happy children. I'll take bad teeth over serious health problems any day.
The Dentist said she was really funny and giggly when they first put her out. I expected to see the same when I got to go back and see her. Instead I found a crazy little girl trying to fight all the nurses. She was not happy coming out of it. Jared said he was the same way after all his surgeries. Eventually she woke up and was her delightful self again.
We had a simple party with the Family. I have been trying to have the tradition that my kids can choose what ever kind of cake they want and I will make it for them. Lydia requested a castle cake and I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it happen. I found a kit, but it cost $20. I'm too cheep and came up with a few ideas after walking around the grocery store for a while. I think it turned out pretty good.












Lydia was so funny opening her presents she would get way more excited about the clothes and shoes than any of the toys. She is such a girl. I was so fun to have the Kamerath's in town to help celebrate.
