A Sick Birthday Girl

I am typing away with a storm brewing outside. There is a tornado warning, so if this ended suddenly, you'll know why. Should be o.k., though. Well, sad to say, Kenadi was so sick on her birthday that we didn't get to do much. We were going to have a little party with some of her friends, but had to call it off. So Randy and I decided to take her to the airport so she could see some airplanes take off and fly at an up close and personal level. I don't know what was going on at the airport that day, but the sky was empty, and the airport was so quiet! We told Kenadi she'd see airplanes, so she kept asking about them, but we only saw a few little ones on the ground. It was sad. Then, we came home and opened family presents and ate some cheesecake that I made her (yes, it was for her... she loved it!) She was deathly afraid of the presents, though, because my mom and sister made her some "cute" little monsters to play with. When Randy and I saw the first one and said "Oh, it's a monster!" she threw it and ran over to me and wouldn't open up any more presents until Randy peeked in them and told her if there were monsters in the wrapping. She kept saying, "monsers!" and staring at them from a distance. I don't know where she got her fear of monsters, probably from Randy. I always have to look under the bed before he gets in. Now she loves them, so that's good. She also got a few other things, like a tricycle that she is still figuring out, but loves, a doll and clothes from our cute old neighbor, and a phonics bus, oh, and of course, the fish. Anyways, Haley is coming this next Sunday (I am so excited to have some of my family visit!), and we are going to have a friend party for Kenadi when Haley's here. Should be better!
