Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Mommy and Daddy went to an amusement park and then out to dinner to celebrate.

Jackie's Preschool Graduation

Jackie graduated from preschool today. The ceremony was at the train depot- perfect for what my boys called "the train school."

First, the kids sang some cute songs.



Then, they went to change into their caps and gown while we watched a slide show. I never thought I would tear up at a preschool graduation and then they had to set the slide show to "Let Them Be Little."

The proud graduate, on his way to get his diploma from Miss Mary Beth.

Next stop: Kindergarten!

Adam and Mason were there, too. Adam got to see Miss Michelle again. Grandma was there to help with Mason. Daddy had to work, but saw all the pics and video- which is now trapped on my broken flip video camera.

Mother's Day

We went out to lunch with Grandma.

 Then we went to the park.

 And...as good as it's going to get:

 But, that was exhausting!

Egg Hunt

The Easter Bunny waited until the afternoon to hide the boys' eggs in the yard, so that the ground was dry.

Easter Lunch

After church, we met Grandma and Uncle Chris for lunch.

It was a gorgeous day!

Then, we headed home to have an egg hunt.

Christmas

The boys snuck upstairs like little ninjas to get to their Christmas presents.

Luckily, they were so excited by their gigantic sand shovels that they didn't tear into the presents until Mommy, Daddy, and Mason got upstairs.

They tore into their gifts from Santa, Grammy, Papa, Uncle Aaron, and Miss Lindsay.

They played for a while before Grandma and Uncle Chris came over.

And then round 2 of present-opening began!

The boys stayed in their pajamas all day. We had Christmas dinner at our house.

It was a very merry Christmas.
