Cute Kaylee

Having a niece close by has been so much fun! Will and Becky didn't find out it was a girl until she was born, so they had a lot of neutral clothes and Will complained she didn't have a dress for her to wear to church on Sunday. I took that as an invitation and got to work that night. Five hours later, I had this adorable dress and couldn't wait to give it to them!

Unfortunately, I finished it at about 3am, so I had to wait until the next day. I'm so happy they thought it was cute! Later in the week, we had a girls lunch and afterward went to spoil Kaylee some more. We went to the store and Becky picked out Kaylee's blessing dress. We also got her some headbands and a cute bracelet. When I saw how cute the bracelet was I couldn't resist going home and pulling out the beads and making her some more. Courtney had also bought some ribbons and an outfit for Kaylee, so she is definitely going to be dolled up and super cute!

Then today Will, Becky, and Kaylee made it to church and Kaylee got to wear the dress I made! I was so excited to see her wearing it! I had been worried it wouldn't fit her, which it didn't entirely because they had to leave the top snap undone. They also came over to my parents' for dinner so everyone got to see her in the dress I made!



Landon, Weston, and Bennett also got to meet their new cousin for the first time.




Both boys loved her and didn't want to stop holding her. Every time Tiffany would start to take Kaylee away Weston would cry out "I wanna hold the baby!" I didn't get pictures of Bennett, but Tiffany has video of him pointing and saying "baby!"

Here's a few more pictures of Kaylee from earlier this week when Lee and I went to visit them.

Birthdays

Two birthdays in one week! How fun! Monday was Lee's birthday, making him 25! We started by going to our all-you-can-eat sushi place for lunch. I couldn't eat all the sushi, but I did get a little of my favorite fried sushi. After lunch, Lee spent time enjoying some of the games he got for his birthday. At 7 we had family and friends over for cake, ice cream, and games.

This cake design is from Portal, a PC game.

Make a wish!

After cake and ice cream, Lee spent the rest of the day relaxing, then we went to the midnight release of Star Craft 2. A 12 year wait for this game made it pretty exciting and crowded at the midnight release.


The second and probably more exciting birthday this week happened yesterday! My brother got a brand new daughter, Kaylee Ann Castrey! She is adorable and the first granddaughter on the Castrey side of the family. She was born at 10:45 weighing 7 lbs 5 oz and measuring 21 inches!
