KA-CHOW!

This past weekend, we were in Grand Rapids celebrating Ben's 3rd birthday with my family. Ben is thrilled that he gets to have three b-day parties (one with each family and one at home). He really wanted a Cars party, so we had fun picking out supplies at Party City. My sister made him a Lightning McQueen cake and he said it was, "The best cake ever!" We also celebrated my nieces Mya and Emma's birthdays (they turned 9 in Sept). All of my siblings were able to make it to the party, so it was nice to be able to visit with everyone! On Sunday, we were even able to squeeze in a visit with The Bairds which always makes us happy! :) In a few weeks we have the next party in Cadillac with Curt's family.

I didn't get very many pictures while we were with the Bairds, but I did get this one of all the boys together on the couch (Luke, Jackson, and Ben).

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 ...
