Under the Big Top!

Jude's preschool puts on a circus every year. Each class dresses up as different animals or performers and puts on a great show! This year, Jude was a juggler!

Everybody loves to bowl!

Noah requested a bowling party this year! It was our first time having a birthday party somewhere besides our home and it turned out great. All of the kids had fun bowling, eating cupcakes and playing in the arcade.



Noah's big present came from all of his aunts and uncles- he got a basketball hoop. He has really developed a love for basketball and he could not be more excited to have a real hoop of his own.

Noah turns 6!

Noah turned 6 on Wednesday! It's hard to believe that he is already such a big boy, but with his missing top tooth he sure looks like a 6 year old! He took cookies in to school to share with all of his classmates and Mom ate lunch with him. We continued with our tradition of getting to pick where to eat on your birthday, and Noah picked Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner. He asked Mom to pick Chuck E. Cheese next month for her birthday too.

Christmas 2011

Wow, it is almost February and I am just getting around to posting about Christmas. I'm going to blame it on being pregnant- or maybe on the fact that we have sold our house and are moving to a new house... they are both good excuses, right?

Ready for Church and dinner on Christmas Eve




Reading The Polar Express before bed


And the fun begins Christmas morning






And we finished the day off with Christmas Dinner
