Mila's 7th Birthday ~ December 2009

Mila, Tianna & Gracie

Mila with her big cupcake at Out of This World

Mila has wanted this book FOREVER. She wants to learn how to be a spy...

This was taken at 8:53 am. She is officially 7!

They finished off the night with The Wizard of OZ, popcorn and hot chocolate.

Mila had her friend party today. We went to see Princess and the Frog, played with new toys, partied at Out of This World, and ended the night with a slumber party. I think they fell a sleep around midnight!

Ivan's 5th Birthday ~ December 2009

He wore that hat for 2 days!

It took a bribe of cupcakes to get all the boys to smile...

Finally remembered to use the pinata I got for his 3rd birthday!!!

4 boys + 3 balls + 1 parachute = CRAZY!!!

Legos anyone?????

Ivan had more of a birthWEEK than a birthDAY. His actual birthday was spent getting off of the cruise ship, getting on a couple airplanes, and getting to his bed around midnight. So we did some celebrating on the ship (which I will post later) and we had a family party and a friend party. Here are some pictures from his friend party.

Snow Day ~ December 2009

We had fun with a very random snow storm. I think it's the first one this winter. The kids built a small snowman with their best buddies and a couple hours later built a BIG one with the neighbors.

School Pictures

Here are Mila & Ivan's school pictures. I took pictures of the pictures so the quality is not very good. Ivan's pictures were taken in the garden of the preschool.
