Happy Birthday CODY!!!

 Happy Birthday to the sweetest boy around! 
Little Cody turned one last week!  He is such a great little guy!
The girls were so excited!  Ben had to be to work early, so we all
woke up and got the party started.
Cody had one of his favs ham and eggs for breakfast!
 The girls wouldn't leave him alone (but that isn't anything new)
They LOVE him!!
 They helped him open his presents...he loves his new cars!
 The girls went crazy with the sprinkles!  
We had fun making Cody's Birthday Cake!
These pictures are a bit out of order, but it was a GREAT day!
Poor Cody was sick though.  He is finally getting over 2 ear infections and horrible
congestion and cough.  He is such a perfect addition to our family!
We are so thankful to have him and his sweet cuteness!

A day at the ZOO!!

 Since there was no school for MLK day we met up with some friends for a great day at the zoo!
They had the lama's out so you could pet them.  The girls LOVED it!
 Here they are watching the seals.  One of our favorite exhibits!
(Kimber, Maggie, Kate, Holdyn, Grace)


Yep, there were a LOT of cute girls there...squealing, giggling, and having some good old fashion FUN!

Happy New Year!! 2013

 We had a Happy New Year party about 8pm on New Year's Eve :)
Ben had to work bright and early in the morning so we moved celebrations up a bit!
The girls loved their princess cups with ginger ale!
(I hope they are this easy to please for a looooong time)

We splurged and had ribs for our dinner party.....one of Holdyn's FAVORITE meals!
 We had a small bag of 'poppers' and a few little fireworks that we let off in our driveway.
The girls had a blast!  

Here is a picture of the girls just after helping me make brownies.
They fight over who gets to lick the wooden spoon every time.
This time I told them they could each have a side and they simultaneously started licking
HILARIOUS!  I love these little monkeys!

 We couldn't ask for a better baby brother!  
Cody is game for anything and everything!

We also had day where Holdyn's class invites families in to see what they are doing.
She LOVES to show us all of the fun ways she gets to learn!
