What a fun 7th birthday celebration we had for my little Christmas man. Grinchy green was everywhere thanks to the wonderful ideas I found on Pinterest. Even if you don’t have a December birthday babe in your house, these ideas would be great for a lighthearted gathering this Christmas season or a fun book/movie night….
She turned 12. How did that happen?? Happy Birthday my sweet girl, or I suppose I should say my sweet young lady! What a privilege and honor to be your mother! We had lots of fun celebrating with a little ice skating, a family party and a girls-only (plus a toddler) shopping trip. Oh, and…

Seven. How do the years go by so quickly? As I sit holding Eli, I remember holding Caleb the same way what seems like only yesterday. He’s always been my cuddle-bug. I don’t understand how someone can be so full of energy, so busy, so fast and so independent, yet give more hugs than anybody…
Happy Birthday my sweet, beautiful Mahayla! We celebrated your BIG 10 year old birthday today – I can’t believe it’s been TEN YEARS already!! I wouldn’t trade one moment of these ten years for all the money in the world. You are growing into an amazing young lady and I look forward to all the days…
