Christmas Card Take 1!

My boys do not enjoy having their picture made by their mommy. Just when I thought I had them "trained", we have to do not 1 but 2 different sessions to get a Christmas card shot. Here are a few from the first try!

Finally!!

Friday was the big day. Sweet Barnes turned 3! He was so excited. He woke up and blew out his candle on his cinnamon roll and headed off to school. His Daddy went to school and helped him celebrate there. That afternoon we surprised the boys with a trip to Build A Bear. They screamed when we told them. Barnes made a puppy and Miles made a soft bear. They had so much fun!

Barnes has had a big year being two. He started school, made many special trips to neat places like the zoo and Carowinds (his favorite) and has grown a mile. He has a sweet nature that I hope he keeps no matter what birthday. He loves unconditionally and is so inquisitive. If we could only get the potty training licked!

Almost Three

Barnes has been ready for his birthday for 2 months! Finally since Sae's has passed he knows he is next. This little one is so excited. He keeps saying, "Sae's birthday and then mine." Now that hers has passed he says, "Sae's birthday was first and now it's my birthday!" He is so ready for his Mickey Party!

Happy Birthday Sae!up

Sara Preston celebrated her third birthday last weekend. She was a beautiful birthday princess and all of her friends dressed up too! Happy Birthday Sae! We love you!

Halloween

Hotdogs at the Hall's is always a fun event in our neighborhood! Friends, neighbors, and family come by for a train ride, a little trick or treating, hotdogs, and so much fun. The kids had a blast and had no problem heading to bed that night after wearing themselves out on the playset.

Miles dressed up as a Star Wars Clone Trooper and Barnes was Mickey. The other kids looked so precious. We hosted cowboys, indians, lambs, pigs, every superhero, and princess! What a night.
