Polar Express Night




Had our 1st annual Polar Express night at the new house. We had about 18 or so kids come over for hot cocoa, cookies and treats then headed up stairs with their pillows and sleeping bags for the movie. It was a little crazy at first but, soooo much fun. Kids were all having a blast together on the floor with their popcorn and pj's. Some left after the movie but we had 10 sleep over and all were up by 7am for green Christmas tree pancakes and sausages. They all had so much fun. Special thanks to the moms and dads that helped and Lisa for sleeping over and helping with the kiddos and breakfast the next morning. Next year is already being planned and we anticipate even more smiling faces for the special night of magic and fun of Christmas.

Disneyland on Ella's 4th Birthday

We had the BEST family vacation. Spent 2 days at Disneyland and Californina adventures. We had such a great time celebrating this sweet pea's 4th birthday. The morning of her big day we all had breakfast at Denny's and surprised her with a birthday treat and sang to her. Then we walked to disneyland she wore her Cinderella ears and Birthday shirt. We had such a memorable time. It rained a little the last day but, we had a blast. Which we thought would bum us out but, instead just a few drops kept all the locals from coming to the park I guess cause there were hardly any lines so we were able to ride all her favorites so many times. I don't ever remember experincing that before. I think we did its a small world 4x on her birthday. So much fun! Can't believe my boy rode on everything including Space Mountain and he loved it. FEARLESS kid! Truly a great trip with the whole group again.

Ella's 4th

We celebrated and had her party a week early. It was Pink and Princesses everywhere. She had a blast and wore her favorite white pretty dress. Can't belive 4 years has past since she joined our family and made it whole. She is the most beautiful girl ionside and out and makes us laugh so much. THe world is definetly brighter and sparkles more because of Ella Marie!
