Birthdays!

J had his 1st birthday back in April and B had her 5th birthday in June.  We had a great time celebrating with friends.  My kiddos are getting so big, so fast!

Two New Projects

 Project #1
B received a new swing set for her birthday from Nana and Papa this year.  So this weekend we were busy digging out the area and adding rubber mulch.  Here are some of the before pictures.

Project #2
Tom was finally able to get the gate put up.  The last piece to enclose our yard.  Hurray!

 

 

B's First Christmas Program

B. had her first Christmas program and was all excited to be up on stage.  The little ones had a hard time staying up on stage for so long.  And B. pulled down the mic at one point, and another little kid seeing the opportunity step right up and started talking in the mic.  So many great memories.

Kris and I played a few Christmas piano duets before the program.

B. got a really cute cardboard house from Nana and Papa for Christmas.  She even gets to decorate it!

7 Month Photos for Buddy and More Christmas Events

Well, what can I say.  My posting has been few and far between.  Thought I'd just post some highlights the next few days in order to get caught up.

Little buddy's 7 month photos were fun since we had the Christmas tree up.

We got some pictures with both of the kids and sent them out to family and friends for our Christmas cards.

My little girl is growing up so fast!

Buddy had a great time with the Christmas tree.  He rolled over there and got one of the packages.

Tom and I had a great time at his work party.  We got all dressed up and had an evening out by ourselves!

We even got a family picture before we left for the event.

Papa and Nana had B's room all decorated for Christmas with special sparkle lights.
