Birthday Month

In January we have 2 birthdays to celebrate. Chandler's birthday is on the 10th and Olivia's is the 16th. He recently turned 9 and she turned 3. Right now it's OK, but I'm sure it will get very expensive as the kids get older. Madelyn isn't far behind, her birthday is in February.

Here are some pictures of our small celebrations

Happy New Year

2008 brought us many wonderful and exciting things, we can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us!

Happy New Year!

Christmas Day

My little tool man! Elijah LOVES tools. When Justin starts working on something, Eli was always trying to take tools and help. So we got him his own for Christmas and he is thrilled.

Hurry up Dad, those are MY tools!

The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse set was a little heavy, but that didn't stop Olivia from trying to pick it up. Mickey Mouse is her favorite thing right now

Chandler kept telling me, "Mom, I want 2 Webkinz for Christmas." He got them!

Madelyn's favorite thing right now is High School Musical, so she was excited to get a game from Grandma Debi

Decorating the tree

Decorating Christmas cookies for Santa

Eli had to decorate a cookie too, he just wouldn't sit at the table to do it!

Miss Olivia LOVED having a Christmas tree

Madelyn was so glad to finally put up a tree!

Because of our move, we didn't put up a Christmas tree until we got to California. When we were finally ready to put one up (on December 23rd) I had to call a Lowes and 3 Home Depots before I found one with any trees left.
The kids were beyond excited, and had so much fun!
