Christmas Cards

Soooo... it's that time of year again. The time of year where I send out Christmas Cards that include the link to our blog... this year of course, upon Phillip editing/proof reading my little "blurb" update on the back of our Christmas Card he asked "are you sure you want to put that on there" (regarding our blog link) to which I replied "of course!" Meaning that I truly, desperately, need to do an update. 

I thought perhaps I would do photos of every one's birthdays for this year... it's been a pretty awesome year, for sure!

The first birthday of the year always goes to our sweet little Beans. His 8th birthday is on February 27th & this year, Auntie Pup took the babies to Petco & Dollar Tree for his gifts & balloons. Beans also got a Dairy Queen Ice Cream cone for a "birthday cake"! (don't worry... we didn't give him the whole thing!)

Here was Bitty's 4th Birthday invitation... I LOVVVEDD how it turned out! She kept asking "did I go to the North Mountain?" (it's a Disney Frozen movie reference).  She's just so sweet in this photo!

Bitty had such a big party, with so many friends & family members... it was SOO fun!

But perhaps the star of the show, other than Queen Bitsy herself... was Gee's AMAZING Elsa cake!

Gamps probably giving Willie a "pep talk" about how, if Willie just goes with it, he can take the costume off soon enough... poor Wooley!

Bitty's birthday was on a chilly April afternoon... so having this fabulous bounce house in the basement was perfect for the kiddos after they enjoyed their cake and ice cream!

Bitsy & Friends!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday EXACTLY as he wanted us to, at home, with just the 5 of us & a delicious Dairy Queen Ice Cream cake.  Harvest was late this year, so we were enjoying one last weekend together before the craziness began!

And then in November we celebrated our little Willie's 2nd birthday, in true boy style, with tractors.

Willie was so blessed to have family all the way from Oklahoma (Geemom & Poppa) & lot of friends over for his party!

And Gee.. ever amazing as always, outdid herself with a John Deere Tractor cake and cookies! (I made Willie his favorite Beef Jerky!)

Willie's big 2nd birthday gift! A pedal tractor! He was so excited about it, he didn't know how to react! We were a little disappointed, because Daddy had to be gone for work the weekend of Willie's party... but thank goodness for technology so he could still semi-enjoy the festivities!

And a trailer just the right size for hauling his big brother Beans around!

And for our final birthday of the year, it was Mommy's 32nd birthday. To which my Mommy & Hubby made me feel as special as ever. My mother created a beautifully sparkly chocolate chip cookie cake with a tiara I can even wear, should I choose to do so.

And my husband... God Bless the man, he bought me my very favorite cupcakes from New York City & had them shipped to me.  They were amazingly perfectly wonderful & delicious. Proof that he does love me, despite my crazy favorites.

I decided, for my birthday, to pamper myself (While Bitty was at school & Willie napped) to take a nice long shower, do my hair, paint my nails & get dressed up for dinner out on the town (with my little people & Auntie Pup, of course). I felt like a million bucks!

One of my favorite gifts, matching handmade aprons from Geemom! WE LOVE THEM!

I truly do have every intention of updating this with slightly more regularity... I have SOOO many photos and I want to share them with those I love most! The Christmas Cards went out today... so hopefully everyone will have them by the end of the week!

We are so very blessed & love each of you so much!

Happy Holidays!
