BIRTHDAY GIRL

Every odd # birthday we have a family party instead of a friend party. Aleah decided she wanted to go to the new Veggie Tale movie,"Pirates that don't do anything." Aleah really enjoyed herself. I'm not sure if she enjoyed the movie more or the candy. She has a sweet tooth like her mom.

This is Aleah's cake! Last year Jayden decorated his own cake and so this year she wanted to decorate hers. Told you, she's got a sweet tooth like her mom.

Aleah'a presents.

This gift Aunt Kim gave her hit the top of the list. More doll house accessories to go with the doll house Santa brought her.

At the end of the day, Aleah so graciously informed me that family parties are boring! She'd rather have a party with all her friends. Aleah makes friends very easily and really enjoys being with them. She is our little social butterfly, (in her own way). For those of you who don't know Aleah very well. About a year and a half ago, she was EXTREMELY shy. She has really come around. She is still shy, but nothing like before. The outside world is getting a real taste of our Aleah. She's energetic, loud and very talkative.

Happy 5th Birthday Aleah!!

Santa came!!

They're awake!! They all got what they asked for. We of course helped Cache with his request. He now has his own chair instead of having to sit in Aleah's princess chair. Makes no difference to Cache, but it makes Dad feel better.

Cache looks pretty grouchy for it being Christmas morning.

Aleah has been wanting a doll house for sometime now (MOM TOO, I didn't have one when I was a kid).

Jayden loves pirates and animals. Any dinosaur or animal that swims in the ocean. Pirate ships always involve a scary blood thirsty shark.

Christmas Morning Memories

Blankets they got from their Aunt, Uncle and cousins. Of course Aleah threw up on hers the first day.

"I found my stocking Mom, did Santa bring me candy?"

Jayden played with his ship ALL DAY LONG. The family went downstairs to watch a Christmas movie and Jayden declined to come with us. I almost thought, "he must be sick."

Aleah spent a lot of her time on the couch since she wasn't feeling well. Cache took advantage of the opportunity he had to play with Aleah's doll house.

The night before Christmas and all through the house, there's 3 little kids NOT acting like a mouse...

Every Christmas Eve we decorate cookies for Santa. Of course in the process we eat a few. Jayden and Aleah didn't get the concept of not licking their fingers and knifes. With sickness going around our home we didn't want everyone to get sick.

Chistmas Eve we also make our own personal pizzas however we like. The kids love this. How often do kids get to make their own pizza??? ( Not very often in our house...)

We open one gift on Christmas Eve too. It's always PJ'S!!

GOOD NIGHT!! WE'RE OFF TO BED SO SANTA WILL COME!
