Ok... I have put quite a few pics on, but... oh well! Of course it was Hannah's birthday on Thursday, 17th and she's now the big #1. We had a fun time. Everyone wanted to go to Pandas Chinese buffet, so that is what we had for dinner. Then, we came home and the kids thought it was great fun to take all the balloons up stairs and toss them over the edge and try to run down stairs to keep them off the floor. Great exercise too!! Hannah was cute with her cake. She was just using her thumb and index finger to pick in it, so then daddy of course had to show her how to pick up the whole piece and get a good bite. After a coupleof bites, she had enough. She took it and dropped it off the side of her tray and then just picked at the crumbs. I also had to stick in the pics of her on Sunday because they were so cute and she thinks everything is a phone and puts it to her ear to talk. And then lastly, the pict of Brinton I had to stick in there because it is Ethan's masterpiece.

We are all doing well, just freezing with the artic wind that has made its way clear down here!! We miss you all tons and hope to see you all this year.

Ok, here are the kids first thing. Santa left them each some happy feet, which would make my feet really happy, but apparently make theirs really sweaty. They each got what they wanted and more.

We had a great day at home together.

We missed seeing all of you, and hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Connor got tons of Pokymon cards that the kids love to trade at school. He also got a remote control helocopter that everyone loves to fly outside.

Ami loves the hair styling stuff of her own. Now she can practice in her own room/bathroom.

You cannot see, but Ethan got a triple deck race track. He thought it was great, but was also interested in the big brother's stuff. He also got some shake and go crash cars and loves them. Hannah is such a little immitator she watches and then has to shake and shake and shake the car also. She just hasn't got the hang of putting it on the ground to go after shaking it.

Hannah had a great morning. She was pretty supprised with everything. She loves her PJ Berrytales. It moves it's mouth, head, and hands. She loves to listen to his stories and put her fingers in his mouth and then laugh.

New Years was great fun. Six flags was open and we spent the evening riding rides, getting warm along the path at the fire pits they had out. Then they also had hot chocolate and different foods then during the regular season. It was a lot of fun. The park was not packed and everyone had fun. We were in line for driving the old fashion cars which Ethan loves because he can drive while dad does the pedal. Anyway, in line Dan recognized someone familiar looking and started a conversation. Well, it turns out that it was the first base coach for the Texas Rangers. Well, he shook our hands and told us to stop by the ballpark with all the kids and ask for him. Anyway, we love to go when they have their firework nights, so... we'll see what happens!!!
