Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from the monkeys! We had a great day today and got to celebrate with our friends at school. We also got to celebrate a little with mommy and daddy at home! We hope you had a wonderful day!!

Happy 6th Birthday Caleb man!

Caleb is 6 years old today! It's crazy that he is already 6 years old. Caleb has grown up so much this year and its hard to believe he is half way through with kindergarten! Caleb got to enjoy his birthday dinner at Red Robin and open up a few more presents that were saved after the party this weekend. He got a new zhu zhu pet that he's been wanting! Happy Birthday Caleb!

A touch of Spring

We had a touch of spring today and it was quite nice! Sophie got to enjoy some new spring clothes and the boys got to test out a new birthday present!

Garett and Caleb's birthday celebrations

This weekend we traveled to North Carolina to celebrate Garett and Caleb's birthdays. We traveled to Greensboro to go to the Children's Museum up there and they absolutely loved it! There were so many things for them to do and explore and they could've stayed all day. After we finished up at the museum we headed to Fuddrucker's for a yummy lunch. We got to enjoy the museum with Daddy, Mommy, Nana, Paca, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Marie, Aunt Katie and Lydia. Once we headed to lunch Aunt Sarah, Uncle Richard and Lily were there to celebrate too! We got to open our presents from Aunt Sarah, Uncle Richard and Lily at lunch because they weren't heading back to Nana and Paca's house to do presents later.











After we finished up our lunch we headed back to Nana & Paca's house to open up presents and enjoy our How to Train your Dragon cake that mommy made!

Happy 3rd Birthday Garett monkey!

The monkey is 3 years old! It's hard to believe he is already 3 years old. He has changed so much in the past year and he is loving his preschool class and learning new things everyday. We had a small celebration at Red Robin on Garett's birthday but we will be celebrating Garett and Caleb's birthdays together this weekend in North Carolina. Garett got to enjoy his yummy birthday dinner and got to open some presents. He got his very first Chuggington train- Mtambo and his Safari cars. Garett is in love and hasn't put them down since he opened them. Happy Birthday Garett!

Big snow!

We woke up to quite a surprise the morning after Christmas. It had snowed like crazy and we were literally snowed in! It was really too deep to play in because we would all sink down in the snow and on top of that it was very cold! Daddy had to plow out of the snow with our beach shovels because who knew we would need a snow shovel?








Caleb wanted to go out in the snow and help Daddy shovel, but he was getting stuck!

Christmas

We had a wonderful trip to Disney World and got home in time to celebrate Christmas in our house as a family! We all had picked out some favorite things we loved at Disney World and what we didn't purchase with our gift cards we had received, somehow Santa got the memo and brought us some Disney goodies! Our big surprise trip was our big gift this year, but we ended up with some other great goodies to open as well! Merry Christmas!!


Caleb wanted to buy a monorail the entire time we were at Disney World but he was convinced otherwise by an Elf and ended up opening one on Christmas morning. His other favorite gift this year was his skateboard that he had to try out right away!




Tyler has been asking for a new scooter because he had outgrown his other one. He must have been a very good boy because he got a brand new red scooter when he woke up Christmas morning! He also got a zhu zhu pet and a fun book from Disney World the he had been eyeing!




Garett got an Alphie for Christmas or as he calls him an "obot" and he absolutely loves playing with him. One of his special things from Disney World was a bucket of green army men (hut huts) that he has really enjoyed too!




Sophie just loved Minnie Mouse while we were at Disney World so it was fitting that she got two Minnie's for Christmas. A big pink one that she loves to snuggle with and a smaller red one that is easier to carry around! Her other favorite gift this year seemed to be her very first My Little Pony, a pink one no less!

Disney Day 5

Today was our last day at Disney. Our week went by too fast because we were having so much fun! We had plans for a much anticipated lunch at the T-Rex Restaurant so we headed to Downtown Disney to enjoy some last minute fun before our lunch. We had a very yummy lunch and the boys loved it after they got used to the sounds and lights in the restaurant. Caleb, Tyler and Garett got to have their drinks in fun souvenir cups that light up and it seemed to be a highlight of the lunch! After lunch we visited the fun shops at downtown Disney before we began our journey home.







We had such a wonderful time at Disney World and even though the ride home was long we were troopers for Daddy, Mommy and Aunt Katie. We finally arrived home around 3am and were more than ready to crash in our own beds. We were ready to celebrate Christmas, but enjoyed our big gift of going to Disney World!
