IAN'S 3!

Ian turned 3 years old today! On Saturday, he had his family over to celebrate and enjoy his train cake. He had pizza, veggies, and train shaped Jello-jigglers. He thanks everyone for his awesome gifts - horses, Thomas hat, shirt, puzzles, DVD & engine, shorts, balloons, shoes, See & Says, card games, books, stickers, and camera. What a fun time he had with aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, and cousins!
Today he had a quiet day at home playing with toys and using his imagination. We had macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, applesauce, peas, and then more cake for dinner.

Happy Birthday, Ian! You are a wonderful, curious, imaginative, sweet, helpful, and fun little boy! We love you bunches!

Snowy Fun

With all of the snow we've had this winter, we had to take some time to play in it. Even though it wasn't very good for building a snowman or being pulled on a sled, Ian still found ways to have fun.

King of the mountain!

A play date with second cousin, Joelle - They had a blast! Reagan and Thomas also had fun on the sleds and playing inside.

Not too sure about this ride!

Masked Ball

For New Year's Eve this year, we tried something different. Some friends invited us to a masked "ball" event downtown for young professionals in the Fort Wayne area. It was fun to get dressed up and hang out with our friends Jeff and Paula, but more of a ball atmosphere would have been desired.

Looking classy - thanks, Kristin C. for the dress (The bridesmaid dress was worn again!)
Sporting our masks - can you tell who we are? :-)

Happy 31st!

Kelli had a great day celebrating her birthday. She went shopping by herself (a rarity these days), played card games with family, enjoyed a delicious Mexican dinner cooked by her brother-in-law James, fruit salad from her mother-in-law, and peppermint ice cream dessert made by her mom. She is so thankful for her wonderful husband, children, family, and friends who made her feel extra-special!
