Laney’s Birthday

Laney’s birthday was quite the whirlwind!  Kevin was out of town, so we didn’t plan on anything too exciting.  We went to swim lessons, shopped with birthday money, had Orange Leaf with Nana, and then Nana and Papa joined us for pizza and yum-yums (M&Ms).  Shortly after Laney blew out her birthday candle, we looked outside and noticed the weather was quickly getting severe.  From our front door you could see the clouds rotating and heading straight towards us.  We, meaning Dad, made the executive decision that we were going south to their house for the evening.  We spent the evening in the basement watching movies and playing.  In the end, even though we had some heavy rain, hail and heard the tornado sirens, everything ended up being  just fine. 

The next morning Laney woke up to a present from the BaBa Fairy.  See when you turn 3 years old, a special fairy comes and takes away your babas.  Laney would only drink milk from a bottle and that was her one security thing.  We let her keep it until 3 since Lucy had her bink until about the same age. 

The next day, Kevin arrived home, and we truly celebrated Laney’s special day!  We had Nana burgers and ice cream cake…YUMMY!!!!  Laney got a new step stool with her name on it, new panties, and a TV for her room!!!
