We were so blessed and thankful to have most our family down to our house for a big family lunch, presents, cake and ice cream. Grandma and Gramps came down last night and helped with the preparation while A.Corrina, U. Maury, Nanannette and Grandpa came down this morning to help us celebrate. We all squeezed into our dining room for the birthday boy's current favorite meal: noodles and a came-out-pretty-well Cookie Monster birthday cake.
The big boy awoke to a decorated house. A long tradition from my childhood that we are continuing. They are always so impressed with the streamers. =)
Another childhood tradition continued: breakfast present. This one from Mom and Dad.
Birthday boy's cake: Cookie Monster cake.
The 'everyone else' cookie cake.
Opening presents.
Big wagon from Gramps and Grandma. Notice, though, the lack of sparkle in the should-be-napping-birthday-boy's eyes. He went to bed right after this picture for 3 hours.Other recent happenings in the household...
High School Concert featuring Marc with a Santa hat, rare.
Snow angels in freshly fallen snow.
Happy bath boys.
Fun toddler version of Twister. Match color to body part. =)
Another fun toddler activity: makeshift slide.
Winter (read: COLD) parade of lights.
Our first family Christmas tree. We don't usually get one for numerous reasons but this year we did and the boys really like it.
