Party Time!!

Well it has been much to long since I last did a post, I ran out of room for pictures on my computer and with getting ready for Christmas I just didn't take the time to figure it out. But now with the help of my sisters I think I've got it, thanks girls!!

So anyway, back in November we celebrated the birthdays of our 2 blessings, Andy on the 2nd and Kayla on the 10th. It was such a special time, just enjoying all the different blessings that come with having kids.

We had one big party with both sides of the family at my parents house, it was a lot of fun, thank you to everyone that came, for the food and all the gifts!

After a yummy meal we enjoyed cake! And since it was Kayla's first birthday she was allowed to eat her own cake. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andy still did not know how to blow out candles... :) No matter how many different faces he made, nothing seemed to help. :)

 

 

 

 

Then Uncle Jaden came to the rescue and we could continue on with the party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Andrew had it figured out, eat the icing and leave the cake. :)

 

 

 

 

Makayla wasn't quite as neat...she dug in and thoroughly enjoyed herself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More please!

 

 

 

 

After cake it was time for presents!

 

 

 

Kayla got her first doll.

 

 

 

 

 

And Andrew got many, many tractors.

 

 

 

 

 

What could be better than farming with your Grandpas!!

 

 

 

 

We love you Andrew and Makayla, God bless you in the years ahead!

Thanks to Megan for the super great pictures!!!

 

 

 

The Snow Came!

 

Last Sunday we got snow! So much snow that church canceled. So we had a relaxing day at home. The kids and I went out and enjoyed the snow.

 

 

 

 

Then we went in and warmed up with popcorn and hot chocolate.

 

The end. :)
