Happy Birthday Ada - for the THIRD time!!

Can you believe Ada is 3 already? 

I certainly can't!!

At our house we always let the birthday person pick what is for dinner on their special day so the four of us can celebrate together.  After weeks of insisting that she wanted McDonalds ("they have toys there mom!") Ada finally decided that Dairy Queen sounded like a good idea.

Ice cream out in the sunshine and some goofy pictures with the carved bears outside made for the perfect family evening!

Happy Birthday Ada!!

Surprise GG!

Great Grandma (GG) Dixie turned the big 7-0 this year and the family was quite pleased with ourselves that we managed to pull off an afternoon surprise picnic party for her.  Complete with more good food than you could shake a stick at, lots of laughs and even some yard games the afternoon was a success!  GG was surprised, which is a feat within itself, and everyone left with bellys aching.  I'm not sure if it was from overeating or too much laughing, but either way it was a wonderful day!!

Happy Birthday Gram - We love you bunches!!

Birthday Treats for Mommy!

Aunt Jeanne surprised mom with a basket of decorated cookies for her birthday - what a nice treat!

Happy Birthday Cubicle Style

I turned 30 on May 3rd, and my co-worker Katie thought it would be fun to make sure everyone knew it!

I was so surprised when I came in to work for the day and turned the corner to see my cubicle completely decked out with streamers, balloons and Happy Birthday signs!  Later in the afternoon a chocolate cake with fudge cream frosting was served and I was having a happy day indeed!

Club Just Jump

We had a party to celebrate Tehya and Ada's birthdays this weekend. We rented out Club Just Jump in Woodbury for a couple of hours and had a blast! We are so glad that so many friends were able to come jump around with us!
The birthday girls both got to go in the cash cube. Good thing it wasn't real money because it was blowing around so fast they could hardly grab a piece!

Everything at Club Just Jump is an inflatable, and they are all so much fun! There are jumpers, slides, and obstacle courses. We explored every inch of that place!

Everyone had fun playing today, even the adults. We were all laughing because the only injuries from the day were on the grownups! Dan ended up with a skinned up knee, and I have some pretty good rubber burn on my elbow. We were all exhausted too!

Tehya liked the idea of sharing a birthday celebration with Ada, but she insisted on having her own birthday cake. Dan and I thought that was a reasonable request, so we did in fact have two birthday cakes at the party!

Tehya had a funky Hannah Montana themed cake, and Ada had a super cute Hello Kitty one. What a fabulous day!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Nana Yvonne just celebrated her 80th Birthday!

The Krisnik family gathered for brunch and had a wonderful time sharing stories, jokes and lots of great food! Nana asked that we not buy her any gifts, so the family all pitched in and bought tons of socks and underwear for little boys and girls that Nana could donate to her favorite charity, Josephs Coat. What a wonderful feeling to help those in need and celebrate a wonderful event with family all in the same day!

Happy Birthday Nana, we love you!

Ada turns 2 and #4 is back on TV!

Happy Birthday Ada!

You are 2 years old now!

We can't believe how quickly this time has gone,

and what a big girl you have become. We love you very much!

And in other news on August 21st, Brett Farve wears #4 in Purple and Gold for the first time!

Tehya Turns 4!

Tehya has celebrated her 4th birthday - oh goodness where has the time gone?!?

This year after much deliberation (its a big decision you know) she finally settled on having the Disney Princesses cake.
We had quite the housefull to celebrate which is always a lot of fun. Tehya was quite spoiled with gifts yet again - most of them being noisy things that mom and dad would never have bought for her!
One gift she received was a new winter coat and snowpants from Grandma Sue. Some other fun things she received included lots of Littlest Pet Shop goodies from Grandma Diane, a new fancy leotard for dance class from Sarah, a remote control snowmobile from Dylan and Alicia that she wasnt quite sure about since she couldn't ride on it, a Barbie electric guitar with speaker microphone (thanks a lot Jackie) and a talking trainable toy parrot that has succeeded in scaring me several times already since it is motion sensitive. (Please note Brian, paybacks to tend to hurt). I am going to stop there because to be honest if I detailed all the gifts she got this blog entry would be quite extensive - our little Miss Tehya was quite the spoiled birthday girl this year!
At days end Tehya was looking pretty satisfied!
