Family Visit

We spent a few days last week visiting with my family. Curt was gone most of the days playing in a golf tournament with his friend Derek. That was the main reason we planned our Grand Rapids trip. While he was gone, I hung out with my family. I also visited my grandparents and spent time with my friend Rachel.

My dad looked great! I cannot believe that he had a stroke a couple weeks ago. He will have some more tests this week that will check into a hole that they found in his heart. That may have been where the blood clot traveled through, so it his dr will decide whether they should close it or not.

Lucy in her cute new dress (from Grandma and Gramps). She wanted to look good for her cousin Caleb's birthday party. :) 
 Friday afternoon I took the kids over to Rachel's house. I got to see her little sweetie, Evie, again.
 Ben was so excited to play with Jackson and Luke! Lucy got in on the action a little bit too.

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 ...
