Jordan Turns 6!!!

 Jordan turned 6 and had a blast doing it.  He ate his favorite foods, got fun new star wars toys and got to spend time with his friends. He had school on his birthday and I surprised him by going in to help out that day so I could spend time with him.  I sat by him in a little tiny chair and he kept leaning over to me and would whisper in my ear, "Mommy, I love you with all my heart!"  How I love this special boy and am so glad he came into this world 6 years ago!!!

 I like how Megan is "helping" blow out the candles from where she's sitting.

 Jordan's birthday party with some of his friends.  I love the difference in these 2 pictures.  Once they were all warmed up to eachother, it was all laughs, screaming, wildness and craziness...good thing it was only a 2 hour party!!

Christmas...Better Late Than Never

 Seeing how it's nearly February, I figured it's about time to do a post on Christmas.  This year we had no mantel to hang our stockings from because the gas fireplace didn't work and we ended up covering it up with an entertainment center.  We had to get a little creative about what to do with the stockings and came up with the above creation.  Andrew made the whole thing and stayed up extra late on Christmas Eve so it would be ready in the morning. 

 Our breakfast of cinnamon rolls, egg nog and breakfast casserole was delicious and this was the first time we ever used our china.

 They can hardly stand the anticipation as they wait for Andrew to set up the camera so we can take a picture and start our jingle bell parade that leads us to the Christmas tree. 

 We realized that this was the first time since Jordan was born that we've been able to do the parade without me carrying a baby in my arms.

Meeting Baby Cindy for the first time...love at first sight and have been inseparable ever since!!!
