Gideon's 2nd Birthday

Gideon's 2nd birthday was Jan. 28th.  We had Grandparent and aunts over for the celebration.

He is not a cake fan so we make a chocolate cookie train.
The chocolate chip ice cream was his favorite

And he couldn't get enough of opening his presents. Alayna was a big help with the opening.
Last weekend we paint magnet/chalkboards in our kitchen. The kids love drawing.
Here is a picture of me and Gideon.  Alayna made sure Daddy drew the baby.
And then we have Daddy and Alayna.

This week the kids went outside to play and they took books with them.  Just makes the school teacher in me smile.

Playdough





Alayna got playdough and tools for Christmas.

We play with it almost everyday!

New Year's Eve (a little late)

Each New Year's Eve my Mom and Dad have a party at their house where we celebrate the New Year. We set the clock forward and at 8 pm (for the kids) we count down for the New Year.

Alayna loves the confetti and balloons.  Gideon was concerned why Grandma was letting everyone make a mess in her house.

We even dress for the party,  the noise makers were brought out long before "midnight".

We even had fireworks.  It was every cold for us Arizonans:)

David loved setting up the fireworks.
