Birthday Pictures

These first two pictures are Matthew opening Spike the Ultra Dinosaur


Holding up his new jeans

His stuffed dinosaur from Alex

Mommy's try at making an airplane cake, in case you don't get it the yellow cupcakes are the runway lights and the white cupcakes are smoke. Matthew loved the cake and I will be making another one for his friend party on Saturday.

We Have a Birthday in the House!!!!

Matthew is 5 years old today and he is so excited!!! This morning when he woke up he came into our room and I could hear him chanting "I am 5, I am 5" he did this over and over for a few minutes. It was very cute!!!!

In honor of his 5th birthday here are 5 things I love about my boy:

1. His sweet, sensitive side
2. His love for his brother and sister
3. His love for his friends
4. He's compassionate side
5. His love for school and learning

I will post pictures after the celebration with family tonight.

Christmas

The kids had a great day yesterday, got what they asked for and more. We actually had to do Round 2 of clean out the playroom (I had already cleaned it out about a month ago in preparation). We will have Round 3 of Christmas tomorrow when Aaron's parents arrive. Then on Monday Matthew will be turning 5 so a new round of gifts will be headed his way.

Tent Time

While Mommy and Alex were at a volleyball tournament on Saturday Daddy was in charge of the boys so he set up the tent in the living room for them. They loved it! They watched a movie from the tent.

A Little Snow

We got a little bit of snow one day last week and of course the boys had to go outside and "play" in it.

PreK Christmas Program

Matthew's class along with another PreK class and 2 of the 3 year old classes put on a little christmas program for us. The PreK kids got to choose to be either and angel or a shepherd and as you can see Matthew chose to be an angel. I'm not sure if he was more excited about singing or the fact that Daddy took a half day off work to come and see him sing.

7th Grade Holiday Dance

Alex's school had a Holiday Dance last night. Here are some pictures of her and her date Will. She is looking a little too grown up for me in these pictures.
