Twilight Birthday

Every year my family has 5 different birthdays to celebrate in the month of January. This includes myself, 2 nieces, a nephew, and my brother-in-law. Since there are so many of us, we try to do something a little extra special for the event. My niece Lara came up with the great idea of having a Twilight themed party. Now why didn't I think of that? (Shame on me, I know).
The party was hosted by my brother and his wife, and it was awesome. The decorations were so pretty, and the food was applause worthy. I made a blood-red apple flavored punch that was almost as tasty and tempting as Bella must be to Edward.

It's a boy!

We had our ultrasound last week and were able to find out that we are having a boy. Gavin was in shock and Kaylee cried a lot. They have had some time to get used to the idea and they are both excited to have a little brother.
The ultrasound chic only gave me two stinking pictures. She was kind of stingy. The only other one she gave me was of his junk and I didn't really want to post that. So here's a pic of his cute little foot instead. Enjoy!

Happy New Years

Everyone should pat yourself on the back for making it through another year, don't you think?
We spent our New Years holiday in Rio Rancho, New Mexico with Ben's brother and their family. It was a nice change from past New Years plans.
A road trip in the middle of winter was a little scary at times, but we made it there and back just fine.
We spent some time at the park, visited Old Town Albuquerque, watched the boys play the Wii, scrapbooked, and celebrated my nieces Courtney and Jessica's birthdays. The girls got manicures, new ear rings, and ice cream sundaes at a cute 50's diner in the mall. They were such cute little princesses.
