Our Family

This is Connor's birthday party! We had so much fun, although he didn't seem to enjoy himself that much. Poor little fellow had an ear infection and a fever, so he was pretty miserable. Just look how excited he is to eat his cake! In fact, I don't think he took a single bite and there was definately no stuffing it in his mouth. The only reason he had frosting on him at all is because I tried to get him to stick his hands in it. If you look closely at the cake, you will see a little scoop out of it on the right hand side. That's because when no one was paying attention, Ariana was in the kitchen with the chips using the cake as her dip! Nasty! We crammed tons of people into our little house, and there was almost no breathing room, but it was great. Happy 1st birthday; Connor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Just wanted to let everybody know, my little sister Briana is ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it because I still think of her as a darling little 8 year old. Anyway, Ryan Reid proposed on January 24, 2009. They will probably be married sometime in July. Congratulations guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas morning! We all had a blast!

Christmas Eve and seeing santa AGAIN! The kids got to open one gift from santa and Ariana got a crown and earring set, but Connor was so upset that he didnt even want to open his. Maybe he will like santa better next year!

We had fun putting up the Christmas tree. Bryan decided he wanted a real tree this year and it was so nice. It smelled so good and the kids had such a blast decorating it!

Here is the rest of us at the Christmas party; Mom, Ranja, Connor and Ariana. Ariana insisted on bringing her baby (she can't seem to go anywhere without it) and she had a blast playing with grandma's cell phone. She loved seeing Santa, and was absolutely thrilled to get a gift bag (which was filled with a clemantine that she thought was a tiny pumpkin, 2 pieces of candy and about 6 handfulls of peanuts) By the time Christmas came, she had already seen Santa 5 different times! This was the first year that she was not scared to bits of Santa, so it was nice to see her happily sitting on his lap and talking to him. We all had fun!
