Gideon's 2nd Birthday

Image
Gideon's 2nd birthday was Jan. 28th.  We had Grandparent and aunts over for the celebration.

Image
He is not a cake fan so we make a chocolate cookie train.
Image
The chocolate chip ice cream was his favorite

Image
And he couldn't get enough of opening his presents. Alayna was a big help with the opening.
Image
Last weekend we paint magnet/chalkboards in our kitchen. The kids love drawing.
Image
Here is a picture of me and Gideon.  Alayna made sure Daddy drew the baby.
Image
And then we have Daddy and Alayna.

Image
This week the kids went outside to play and they took books with them.  Just makes the school teacher in me smile.

Playdough





Image
Alayna got playdough and tools for Christmas.

Image
We play with it almost everyday!

New Year's Eve (a little late)

Image
Each New Year's Eve my Mom and Dad have a party at their house where we celebrate the New Year. We set the clock forward and at 8 pm (for the kids) we count down for the New Year.

Image
Alayna loves the confetti and balloons.  Gideon was concerned why Grandma was letting everyone make a mess in her house.

Image
We even dress for the party,  the noise makers were brought out long before "midnight".

Image
We even had fireworks.  It was every cold for us Arizonans:)

Image
David loved setting up the fireworks.
