End of Year Festivities

What a wonderful time of year.  Our girls wanted to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and pray before heading out to see what was under the tree for them.  It was also requested that we have a birthday cake for breakfast -- so that's what we did :)  I think Dad would like to have an "egg casserole cake", but this year it was just vanilla ;)

We got to see my side of the family on Christmas day and the day after....then we were on the road and visited with Kevin's grandparents and extended family, then spent a few days with his parents, brother, and sister-in-law.  I'm just going to post the pictures, they are pretty self explanatory! :)






Kevin got Peter a tool box this year.  Next year and the years to come, Peter will get a real tool to put in this box and will end up with a nice collection by the time he's grown up!







Peter got an R2D2 puff-ball from Mawna and Pap....Kevin declared it the best gift of Christmas ;)
















April decided to cover her eyes while Grandpa got this gift open for her :)  Pure delight!








Of course, when we got back we had to celebrate New Years Eve!  Had friends over for a "pajama party" :)  Here are all the kids toasting with some sparkling juice....such excitement!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
