New Years Eve

So a little late with these, but it has been a busy year so far :) We had some friends and family over for drinks, games and good times. It was nice to have a party at our house that did not involve characters and goody bags :) Hope everyone is enjoying 2009 so far. Here's to a great year of good health and happiness!

Happy 6th Birthday Madelyn!

December 30th was Madelyn's 6th birthday. I can't believe she is so big. Madelyn spent the day with just mommy doing girl stuff. I was enjoying the special time with her. Later that night she had a blast with all of her friends and family making her own pizza and decorating cupcakes at the Young Chefs Academy. I loved it because I did not have to clean up the kitchen when they were done :) Then back to Nana's house for presents. Happy Birthday sweet princess!

Madelyn's 6th Birthday

Christmas

I think this year was the most fun so far with our girls. I will probably say that every year though. We had a great time with them opening presents and living the magic of Christmas morning all over again. Sara loved her Dora bike from Santa and Madelyn is set with her Barbie alarm clock and boom box. Ofcourse we had some home made gifts from Madelyn that were so special (she made me bath salts and candles in science club). It was fun to see how excited they were to watch us open our presents too. Then we were off to Nana and Poppies for brunch and more Christmas fun. We loved the rain and wished it was snow, but we will take it. After a few hours we went to my sister's for my side of the family. They had a wonderful prime rib dinner for all 20 of us! My dad did his Santa bag gifts for all of the grandchildren. We had a very long day, but loved every minute of it.

Polar Express

We made it to Polar Express! We were really worried about the weather but by the time we got up there it had stopped snowing and the roads were pretty clear. There was tons of snow to play in and we had an absolute blast! It was as close to a real White Christmas as we are going to have. It was so fun to experience it with the girls. Really takes you back to when you were a kid and the magic of believing.

Crazy Busy December

This month is flying by! December 6th was Jason's 35th birthday. We celebrated with the family and then I surprised him with a night away at the Royal Palms resort. It was so romantic and beautiful. We ate at the restaurant there T Cooks and they prepared a special dessert for him.

Madelyn had a holiday dance performance and she is still loving it for now. She is so serious trying not to make a mistake :)

I love the pictures of the girls under the dinning room table. They are playing so nice together lately. They took all of their pillows, stuffed animales and blankets and made a special play area. At first all I could think of was how long it was going to take to put everything back, then I realized how great it was that they were enjoying eachother so much and using their imagination.
