Family weekend in Grand Rapids

All last week, Ben was very excited to take a trip to "Grandma & Gramps" house on the weekend. He said that he was going to play cars with Gramps and he certainly did...I think he wore my dad out with all the car playing. :) We had a good time visiting with everyone. We were able to see my Grandma and Grandpa Bierema on Saturday morning and visit with our friends the Bairds on Sunday. We were tired out on Sunday after returning home, but had to find some energy to stay up late watching the ending of LOST. I'm still deciding how I feel about that one. I think I need a few more days to think about it. :)

Ben playing with his friends Jackson and Luke. I took him over for a visit on Sunday morning while Curt and Derek went golfing. Ben was so excited to see his friends and I was happy with visit with Rachel. They had fun playing with lots of cars. Do you think they made a big enough mess? :)

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
