Valentines Day

For Valentines I made breakfast for my family! Ali was so excited that I caught her at 3:45 a.m. in Grayson's room playing with him on the floor, then she woke Ashton up at 6:00, so we started our day bright and early!

As you can see by the huge goofy smile Grayson loved his little book we got him for Valentines!

So Morgan totally surprised me with tickets to the Britney Spears concert, and a bag full of candy from The Little Sweet Pea~ just what I need!!

Ali and Makinley threw a Valentines Party at Nama's house, they decorated it so cute, and even had a pinata!

We had a fun Valentines this year, I made breakfast for Morg and the kids, then we went to moms for a little party that she helped Ali throw! Mammy made all of us a bag of homemade Mother Goose popcorn.... it didn't even make it out of the door! Mom got us really cute heating pads that are shaped like a heart, a potted flower, and this yummy smelling kitchen cleaner, she always does such cute things for us! Aunt melanie just got back from her Thailand adventure.... she brought us all some little treasures! We sent some roses to mom from my dad this year, because last year before he died he made us promise that every year on Valentines we would still send her roses from him, it was fun to surprise her!

Fancy Nancy Party!

So Ali signed us up for this" Fancy Nancy" tea party at the library last month, and she hasn't stopped talking about it! They sent her an invitation in the mail last week, and she was so excited! She planned what she was going to wear for the entire week before. It was so adorable to see all of the little girls in their princess clothes. They served us some fancy little treats, and they got little purses with lip gloss, candy necklaces and rings in them, then they got to have their nails painted, and decorate a little box for their valentines! I am so glad that I have a little girl to do these kinds of girlie things with.... it was so much fun to see her so excited, and feeling so pretty in her "Fancy" clothes!

Happy Birthday Ashton!

On January 8, 2009, my baby turned 4! This year he wanted a Spiderman party, it is the first year that I haven't been able to choose the theme for his party,I wasn't sure about Spiderman, but it turned out really cute! He loved his cake, blowing out the candles, and opening his presents!

I love him, and his little personality so much. He says the cutest things all of the time, I really feel like he is growing up way to fast.

I LOVE YOU ASHTY!

Christmas

So we always go to my Aunt Melanie's for Christmas Eve. We make gingerbread houses, and eat a nice Christmas dinner, then we all dress up for the Nativity, (Morg and I were the one's with a baby this year, so we were Mary and Joseph) and so far we have been lucky enough to have Santa stop by and visit us there every year!

We all stay the night at Mom and Dad's house, so we can be together on Christmas Morning! It is so much fun watching all of the kids open their presents. They must have been really good this year because Santa spoiled them!

Yummy! Grayson loved his first candy cane

Early Christmas

Grandma and Grandpa came over a few days before Christmas, and we celebrated with them! It was lots of fun. Danny and Morgan played a game of marbles with grandma and grandpa and they actually won, which doesn't happen very often, Grandma is VERY competitive! Then we had dinner, and opened presents. The kids got way spoiled again this year, they have always been the best at picking out presents!!
