Lucy's Birthday

My sweet Lucy is now 5 years old. I ask you where does the time go. Her birthday was on the 12th so I am a bit behind on the blog. She had a fun birthday. I forgot to get a picture of her cake we made. She saw an ad for Cold Stone ice cream cake. It was red velvet cake with chocolate ice cream and a chocolate coating. It was rich!

I just realized almost all the pictures are Lucy and Gracie. It was be sad in August when Lucy starts school. What will Gracie do all day long???

  

Gracie and I brought cupcakes to Lucy's preschool for her birthday. She was so excited to have Gracie come to her class.

  

 The day before Lucy's bday she had a school field trip to build a bear. Lucky girl. Thanks to Terra I got to go with Lucy and see how they build those bears. It was such fun little store.

  

 Here she is with her bear Emily. There is Gracie sneaking in the picture again.

 

Birthdays, races, and silly things

It was Meema's Birthday on Friday so the girls and I got her from work. We took her out to lunch. The girls loved seeing where she works.

It was yummy!

Its that time of year again. Tyler wanted to a picachu car this year. He painted it himself and designed it too. He placed 6th this year. Way to go Tyler!

You better watch out for these two!

Last night I went in to check on the kids and this is what I found. Hunter looks just like the boy on Home Alone.

Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas filled with family (lots and lots) which we also think of as friends too. We held onto the tradition of covering the kids doors with wrapping paper that they get to bust through in the morning (thanks Amy). This is great for keeping the little ones in there room. We tried a new tradition of the four gifts of christmas. Travis and I though was a success and we will continue with it.

Here are my little sweethearts before opening presents.

I love Hunters face in this picture! He was so excited to get a folder filled with pokemon cards.

This is a picture the nursery gave me of Gracie. I just had to post it. She is so cute in this picture.

Here Comes Santa Claus

This is the first year we have had all smiles when dealing with Santa. They were all thrilled to have their picture with Santa. They can't wait only three more days!!!

Winter Wonderland

We were lucky to be able to go up after Thanksgiving to the cabin in Flagstaff. It was cold and scant amounts of snow on the ground when we arrived on Friday afternoon. It changed by the time we went home on Sunday. The kids all got to have their fill of snow. Hunter wants to spend his Christmas up there. He told me "Mom Santa will know we are here!" I guess he wants a White Christmas. We have never had one of those.

Tyler made his own hat he is wearing in this picture. He was proud of it!

Gracie Girl

Last week was Gracie's birthday. She is now 3! Wow it is hard to believe my baby is that old. It was on Monday so we had a FHE at the park and had the family meet us there. It was filled with baseballs, swings, bikes, scooters, and slides. I think we should have park FHE more often. Everyone was happy!


It really does help when your tongue is involved!
Or your MeeMa.

Super Girls

Here you go Tracy and Chrissy:
