This year was the Birthday I've been dreading for a while. I was leaving my twenties and entering my thirties. This really scared me. I wasn't ready to say goodbye to my twenties. I guess it hasn't been that bad. Now I'm not looking forward to the forties. That is hard to write. I don't have to worry about that for a while.
Here's my family at Hires. It was yummy! I threatened Lucas that I didn't want a big party.
Here I am modeling some of my presents...
Blowing out the candles with my two helpers...
We had the annual Belliston Family Christmas party. It's always fun to get together with my relatives because I don't get to see them very often.
Halle was excited to get Caillou for her present, but she really wanted the body wash that Jason got. She was willing to trade.
Caden had his Preschool Christmas program. He did such a good job! He was such a good singer and dancer. I think he was the only one dancing. It was pretty funny. He was nervous the whole week because he knew Santa was going to visit and he is terrified of him. I assured him that we could leave before he came. That made him feel a little better and he was willing to go. Little did I know that Santa was going to make a surprise entrance when they were singing Santa Clause is coming to town. You should've seen the look of terror on his face. He did not know what to do. When I could tell he was about to burst out in tears, I went and got him and told him he didn't have to talk to him. Boy was he relieved! We got it on video and every time we watch it he has to leave the room.
He still got to open his present from Santa. That made him happy.
Every year I have great intentions to send a Christmas card, this year was the same. Sadly I didn't get my act together to send one. Consider this my Christmas Card to everyone.
We've done a lot fun things so far this Christmas season. Some of them include: Forgotten Carols (Lucas' favorite), Mo Tab Christmas Concert, looking at Christmas lights, watching Christmas movies, making Christmas treats etc. etc....
We are very excited for Santa to come! Five more days!!!

I had a hard time with 30 too. I'm now over it but I thought turning 30 was hard. Not even going to think of 40 though. happy belated birthday!
Your kids aren't hams for the camera or anything. :)
My favorite one of Caden is that last one of your family. Looking so innocent...
Ha you seriously make me laugh! I love the story about Caden being scared of Santa. I bet you thought it was hilarious when he walked in. Glad you had a fun birthday although I still think you should have had a big party. I agree that it is hard to leave the 20's but at least neither of us look 30 right? Also, thanks for the Christmas card, I love it :) You have a gorgeous family! Merry Christmas to you guys!
sorry to tell you this but time just keeps moving faster and faster the older you get so plan on 40 arriving very shortly. I'm not kidding either. Last I remembered I was 27 and a few short months later I will be 35
