Paige turns 5!

Paige turned 5 last month. We had a great time celebrating her birthday. Bill has a cousin who lives here in Cedar and can make awesome cakes. I asked her to make a dog cake for the party and it turned out awesome! Not only was it cool to look at but it was one of the best tasting cakes I've ever had. We were a little sad that we had to cut into that cute puppy, but it was sure worth it.

Building a snowman

Paige and Liam working on building a snowman. Paige was very proud of her creation.

Christmas 2011

Well I'm finally posting. I'm don't know about you but I sure was getting tired of looking at the same snow-covered pumpkins from my earlier post.

We had a great Christmas. We were able to stay in our own house and not have to travel at all. We had both sets of grandparents, a great-grandma and and uncle with us on Christmas morning. It was fantastic and the kids really enjoyed being able to spend time with family over the holiday.
