New Years Eve

Fireworks off our back porch.

Christmas Pics

The kids were really looking forward to Christmas morning, maybe because I threatened a hundred times that Santa wasn't coming to our house. They woke me up at 5:30am and I said they had to wait until daylight, sure enough they were back waking me up again at 6:30 (I accepted the fact that yes it would be daylight if is wasn't raining so yes we can get up).

Christmas Eve

We usually make and decorate cookies on Christmas Eve, the kids didn't mention it this year so I decided we would try something new. I got plain silver ornaments, because I couldn't find clear ones and we painted them. The kids were each going to do 2 and Timmy and I would each get one. Unfortunately Tiffany dropped hers on the floor and broke it so I gave her mine to paint.

Tiffany's Big Smile

Tyler got his gameboy from Grandma Diane yesterday for his birthday. Tiffany was supposed to get her gameboy for Christmas from Grandma Diane.... She was so upset that Tyler got one yesterday and then that the boys received their Christmas cards that we decided to give her the gameboy early. Her huge smile tells it all....

Tyler's Birthday Party

Tyler turned 11 today! We had a small family party and he was very happy.

Tyler loves his new bike

Tyler was very excited about the gameboy from Grandma

Tyler's motorcycle cake

His cake had candles that kept relighting, he loved it and Tiffany thought it was the funniest thing ever!!

Blaine Christmas Parade

Tiffany's Girl Scout Troop participated in the Blaine Christmas Parade today. She had a wonderful time riding on the float and throwing candy out to people.

One of the floats that went by threw out stuffed animals and Santa hats, Tiffany has been wanting a Santa hat so Matthew picked one up for her and she wore it the rest of the day!
