Birthdays and Christmas Oh My!

Friday the 21st was Connor's 5th Birthday!! He was so excited the whole day and he couldn't wait for his party to start! The babysitter even threw him a mini party earlier and gave him gifts and they ate cupcakes! I am so happy that they are with a great baby sitter who I know takes good care of them! So Connor wanted to do his birthday at Pappy's Pizza and he was honestly so busy playing the whole time that I got like literally 4 pictures of him! He got some awesome gifts though and we have already finished his own hand written thank you cards! Then it was onto Christmas which we had a great christmas busy as usual but it was a lot of fun! We spent the night at my parent's house christmas eve and spent christmas morning with them then it was off to Asa's moms to spend the afternoon/evening with her. The day was so jam packed and busy that the kids had literally no time to stop and so I thought today would be a laid back day around the house but the kids have been fighting all day and Taylor is sick with a cold now and whiny all day today but such is the life of a parent!

Happy Birthday baby boy!!


Zachary enjoying the finer things in life! ;-)


Zachary and Taylor were each lovin the carousel!


Taylor couldn't get enough of trying to get the pop out of this cup!


Someones happy with his birthday!


The annual tradition of going in the hot tub on Christmas Eve! It was extremely cold out though and I think that might be part of the reason why Taylor is sick right now!


The whole gang!


Connor and Zachary lovin' their new chairs!


The annual picture with the kids and my parent's dog Zeus!


The kids all had such a good time opening their presents!


Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and enjoy your New Year!

The Holiday's Are Here!

We have had a busy few weeks around here! A lot of things to do and a lot of things still left to do! We had Asa's holiday party a few weekends ago and it was a lot of fun. I got a super cute dress, got myself all dolled up and spent a night out with Asa. We even got on the dance floor which I am not at all interested in but Asa wanted to go out there so I finally relented! I am seriously a horrible dancer! And then a few days after that I went to another holiday party with my sister in law Becky for her work. My brother didn't want to go so I took his place instead. I took the boys with me and they got to see Santa again and they played and ate lots of cookies! And now this next Friday is Connor's 5th Birthday!!! I can't believe he is almost five! So we are having a little party for him which he is super excited about and then it's christmas time which the kids are even more excited about! We weren't going to do a christmas tree this year but some good friends of our graciously donated a tree to us so we got that set up and we got lights on our house. Makes it all feel a little more christmasy! Now off to the pictures of our last few weeks!

All dressed up for the holiday party!

Taylor loves to break out her dance moves too. She doesn't care if you're singing or an actual song she just likes to dance! She espicially loves to dance to Veggie Tales!


Checking out some snow so stayed in our yard for about half a day! The snow tends to melt pretty quick here.
