Happy Birthday Lauryn

Today is Lauryn's 9th birthday! I can not believe that that little baby is 9, seriously where did the time go? You always hear people tell you to "enjoy it, because it goes by so fast...well, now I know exactly what that means! We threw her a High School Musical 3 "Prom" party, we had about 15 of her friends over, did hair, make-up and nails....then "went to the prom" and danced. It was unbelievably loud and there were tons of high pitched screams, but it was a blast! Thanks to Tim, Luke and Sarah for coming, Lauryn insisted on having them...I am sure they were entertained!! What will we do when she goes to a real prom?? Scary!!

Christmas Tree Lane

Okay...so I am bad at updating this thing on a timely basis....we went to Christmas Tree Lane last week, walked it, ran in to lots of friends, and pretty much froze to death...that is until I had to carry Olivia because her scooter legs were too tired. The next day...Lauryn broke her arm on her "new, early Birthday gift"...a Razor scooter! We love this tradition of walking, even though each year as we finish it we say "never again"...

Thanksgiving....finally!!

I know, I know....Thanksgiving is long gone, but I thought I should still post something. This year was a little different! Normally we would spend it with my parents, and sisters family, then split the day with Dougs side of the family. Well, everyone decided to go out of town this year, so we stayed home, invited Dougs mom and her boyfriend over, and cooked at home! It was so nice to just be home! I made my first turkey, 28 pounds, stuffed it, made the potatoes and gravy....yummy!! I must say I was pretty proud of myself!!
