Noah is 5 months old!

Noah turned 5 months old today. Time is just flying by. I love his little personality. He likes to be where all the action is. He does not like to be left alone in a room. He prefers to be held all the time which makes doing things quite difficult. As I type this he is sitting in my lap. He grunts and growls all the time. I think this is how he communicates and when I can't tell what he wants, he grunts louder. I love watching him grow and change every day!










We decided it was finally time to change Halle to a booster seat. She was very excited when her pretty pink chair was delivered today. She exclaimed, "I finally get a cup holder!" Who knew that would be so exciting! She can be cute when she wants to, but don't let that fool you. She can throw a mega tantrum at a minute's notice. Every day I hope that the terrible 2's will go away, but they just keep going strong every year.


I can't believe how different Kindergarten is now. Caden uses computers and ipads all the time in the classroom. That's quite different than my experience. I remember taking classes in junior high about using a typewriter. I could never master the "how to use white out" lesson. My how times have changed!

Christmas and New Years 2011

Christmas Eve

I decided to make the big Christmas Eve dinner a couple of days before so I could actually enjoy the night. We had hoagies instead. The kids got to pick out what chips and drinks they wanted.

After dinner we went to look at Christmas lights.




When we got back we acted out the Nativity story.







We let them open one present on Christmas Eve.
Halle- Littlest Pet Shop
Noah- Sound Machine (I hope it helps him sleep better)
Caden- Lego Batman for the Wii


Christmas Morning

Noah and I are still a little tired.


They were very excited to see what Santa brought them!
Caden got- a scooter, Legos, Mario Kart set, Battleship, Wheel of Fortune for the Wii, and books.
Halle got- a Furreal Kitty, Princess Squinkies, a Squinkies game, a scooter, Nickelodeon Wii Fit, ballerina doll, and books.
I think they were most excited for the toothbrushes in their stockings.
Noah got- a Noah's Ark toy and books.





We got to play with toys before we went to Grandma's and Grandpa's house.




Noah loves his Oscar the Grouch





Christmas at the Hendrickson's

Noah and Landon are 2 month's apart, but they are almost the same size.


Norma gave a lesson about the birth of Jesus.

We love to open presents!


Christmas at the Eyre's



The kids loved their presents...







Me and my cute sisters with our scarves. We are so stylish!


NEW YEAR'S EVE

We had a little party at our house for New Year's Eve. There was a lot of food, fun, and family. Heather and Adam and their kids came and my parents and Emily came.


We played a lot of Michael Jackson Dance for the Wii. I definitely dominated at Thriller.




We decided to celebrate at 10:30 because that seemed like a good time. We toasted and drank our Martinelli's . My kids actually made it to midnight so we celebrated then too. It was a fun night!
