and we just had a great weekend all around! Hope you did too! See you tomorrow!

We’ve been celebrating Valentine’s Day early around here. The boys don’t have school today so they both had their school Valentine party on Wednesday. We made our cards last weekend and what kind did we make?

Big cats of course! 🙂 I was so proud of Maxwell for writing all of the wording on his cards. He then drew some cats on his and Spencer’s and then we just made color copies and tied them to the different masks.

and Spencer’s…

Cute…and candy free! 🙂 I didn’t know Valentine’s Day was basically Halloween 2.0 until the boys got into school and came home with tons and tons of candy. They obviously love it!

On Wednesday, the boys wore their red and Samantha wore her pink, of course!

Oh well, pouting or not, it was a GREAT Christmas and we’re so glad Nate, Delaney, Jen, Keath and everyone else was able to visit! Merry Merry!

2015!

Happy New Year!

Another year come and gone and another chance to start all over! I think I’ll be just fine if 2015 is pretty similar to 2014…well, minus the moving and pregnancy bit. I’m pretty happy in this new house and would like to stay put for another 30 years or so and plan to never be pregnant again! New Year’s resolutions? Nah. With the upcoming craziness of a house full of 3 kids, I told Robert I just want to survive 2015. 🙂 He said he not only wanted to survive but thrive! I like it!

2015

So, here’s to a year of thriving!

Cheers!

Christmas Day

December 31, 2014

First, happy New Year’s Eve! We’ll be celebrating at home in our pj’s…that’s about all this 36 week pregnant girl can handle.

Second, continuing on with Christmas. After we checked out all of Santa’s surprises and ate some Christmas pancakes, we got ready for our Christmas visitors! GJ came back over with Daddo and Susu and the present opening began!

Just when the boys thought all of the presents from GJ and Daddo had been opened, we told them to head up to the playroom for a big surprise!

Gymnastics equipment! A bar, 2 mats and a balance beam! Fun!

We also raised their play table and got some chairs for them to sit in.

It was then time for some of the Montgomery crew to arrive! Lulu, Granddad, Mary Beth and Holland all showed up armed with more presents to be opened!

It was then time to eat!

For my memory, we had pork crown roast, broccoli salad, holiday rice, green beans, Lulu’s squash casserole, ham from Mary Ellen, GJ’s rolls, Mrs. Connor’s chocolate cake, and the soooo good apple cranberry cake. Quite a meal!
