Christmas Fun

Here are a couple of websites that are fun for Christmas. Our family couldn't stop laughing at these. Especially the Elf website!

If any of you decide to become elves, I want to know! :)

Have fun!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

Although Paige's birthday isn't until the 22nd, we had her friend birthday party on Saturday. It was her first friend party and she had a blast! She wanted to have a Scooby Doo party, so we had a fun little mystery with "scary" games too. I was just thankful that she didn't want a princess party. We have finally moved out of that stage. Just in time for Lily to swoop in. Here are some pictures from the party:

Pictures of Lily

To all of those that have been asking for more pictures of the baby, here you go:

Oh, Baby!

It seems that the baby bug is contagious. Last month we found out that our sis-in-law, Stephanie, is expecting twins in May! Talk about a surprise. I was excited that Lily will have a couple of cousins on Rob's side that will be in the same grade. I hope that at least one is a girl for Lily's sake and that the other is a boy, since they don't have a boy. Then, last night we got the great news that Rachel, my brother's wife is also pregnant! She is due in early July. (Only one for her.) So, Lily will have three cousins her age! We are so excited. I sympathize with both Steph and Rachel. Steph because, hello, TWINS! And Rachel, because her little one Ava turns one in March, so she will have two only 15 months apart. Yikes! (And I thought my life was chaotic.) Everyone is anxious to find out the gender of the little ones and see them all born healthy and happy. I am just happy it is them and not me. ;o)

Thanksgiving and the Polar Express

Happy Holidays to everyone. We hope our family and friends had a happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday. We celebrated here in Arizona with all of Rob's siblings and their families and his mom. It had been three years since we had all been together and we had two new additions since then as well. We had Thanksgiving Dinner at Rob's brother's house and then went to Williams, AZ to go on the Polar Express. We went two years ago and loved it so much that we wanted to go again. Especially since Caleb is SOOO into trains. So into them, that about fifteen minutes into the ride, he fell right to sleep despite the surrounding hoopla. Luckily he awoke in time for Santa. All in all, fun was had by everyone there. And in case you're wondering, I still hear the bell ring.

Here we are!

Here we are, everyone! We have finally entered the 21st Century and joined the blogging world. We hope this is an easy way for our extended family and friends to see what is going on for us in Arizona. It may take me a while to make it pretty and get ample information posted, but bear with me. We love all of you!
