Twins Birthday January 29, 2011

We of course had family over for dinner to celebrate!!  Our family parties arent complete without a little Wii dancing.  The boys got pretty spoiled this year..they asked everyone for $$ and that is exactly what they got.  They each ended up getting enough money to put towards new bikes.  It was a fun birthday!!  Here are a few highlights of their party...

Twins Birhday!! January 29th

The twins turned 9 this year..WOW!! Time has flown by so fast it seems like yesterday we were celebrating their first birthday.  They have grown into little young men.  We are so proud of them..We Love You Garrett & Alex.  For their Birthday we let them each pick a friend from school and we took them to Fat Cats.  We had dinner at the Pizza Factory and then we did the Pirate Golf.  Then we took them for ice cream at Farrs Ice Cream.  Here is a slide show of all the fun.

Let It Snow!!

Michael decided that he was going to buy himself a snowblower for his birthday this year.  Well he ordered it from Sears and we were waiting for it to come.  A week ago we got a phone call that the snowblower that he had ordered was no longer available and that he could upgrade for free.  So he pulled up the upgrade online and compared the two.  An upgrade was for sure on its way...this thing was so much better than the one he had ordered.  Sears said it would be here on the 16th and sure enough it was here.  Everyday leading up to it coming he kept saying "I sure hope it doesnt snow before the 16th, I dont want to have to shovel."  It snowed the night before it arrived...HA HA..luckily for him it all melted before he got home..he has the luck!!  He was so excited when it snowed today and he could use his NEW snowblower.  This thing has all the bells and whistles...headlights...hand warmers...powered chute...you name it its got it!!  All I can say is he is spoiled!!!  Love you babe Happy Late Birthday!!

We finally had our Family pictures taken. We needed them done so bad.  We love how they turned out and hope you will agree.

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Tree

So this year we decided that we were going to change the Christmas tree up a bit.  We have all glass ornaments on the tree and most of them we have had since we got married.  In years past we have had Gold and White and Magenta and Pink glass bulbs on the tree.  This year we changed and went with Red and Gold and White glass bulbs on the tree.  We have always had hand blown glass hearts and humming birds which we used again this year.  It turned out so good.  We have enjoyed decorating our new house.  Its always fun to start with a new canvas and get out of the same old rut.  We hope all of you are ready for Christmas and are excited for the Holidays like we are!!
