Abbey - our big 3 year-old!!

Abbey turned 3 years old this past Saturday! It's pretty hard to believe that it's been that long since our "little" 9-pound baby came into our lives right in our own little apartment!

My parents were in town last Thursday and we met up with them for lunch and a treat at Dairy Queen before they headed home. Abbey thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate ice cream and William had fun with the camera, as you'll see....

(This is a self portrait)

Friday night we had cake and Abbey opened presents. She did better this year than last, although she still needed some help. She was ready to stop opening boxes after the first one! Thankfully, William was right there encouraging her to keep going! :)

Here's Abbey in her cute Holland shirt that Papa brought her from the Netherlands.

Happy Birthday, Abbey! We love you so much!!

30th Birthday

Here are a few pictures from my birthday. We didn't do anything big, but I got a very delicious chocolate cake made just for me by my 2 special guys!

William's 4th Birthday

William turned 4 years old on Saturday, the 7th.  Here are pictures of how we celebrated.  

  Birthday donuts for William's class

Showing off his birthday loot from school. That bag is full of candy!

He's very proud of his birthday crown, can you tell? 

He's been dying to play 'golf" so we finally took him.  Since it was the night before his b-day, and he was still technically 3, he got in for free! :)

He loved his Monsters Inc, "Mike" cake!

Blowin' out the candle. 

Abbey was quite pleased with William's presents too!
