herdy birdy #3

Because Aimee's birthday is just after Christmas, she usually gets to celebrate twice while we are in town. Two families, two cakes, and two sets of presents. What more could a kid ask for right? This year the King celebration was a little rough. Aimee was having one of her power struggle dinners. This means she was seeing how much attention she could milk out of not eating, and if we would give in to her since we weren't at home. Well, two hours later she finished her dinner and was alowed to have the cake Grandma Alice made her. The combination of a late dinner, no nap and playing hard all day with cousins and Aunts didn't exactly add up to the happiest ending. Luckily we did get a few happy birthday memories on film. Her actual birthday was spent at Grandpa Williams. He had brought a couple horses up from American falls to the arena for a couple of days since it was so cold, and boy was Aimee thrilled! That is her favorite thing to do with Grandpa! She did get a nap that day and as you can see from the video, that birthday song was a much happier! It is so fun to watch your kiddos grow up, but so hard!
