Cupcake 1st Birthday Party

What better way to celebrate my sweetie's first birthday, than with a CUPCAKE party!

The day was tons of fun with our family.

It was a little chaotic with the little ones this year.  

Although I have to say it has become much more fun to have more children in the family. :)

Here's a few fun pictures from the day.

The Girls:  Avery, Kaylee, and Alyssa!

Happy Birthday To My Sweet Avery!

To Our Avery, 1 year ago today you came into this world, and blessed our lives with your big blue eyes and loving heart!  In the past year, you have grown from our baby into a precious little girl.  We LOVE you so much.  You are our discoverer of all things!  Your smiles and giggles are contagious, you have a way of lighting up a room!  Your sweet personality is infectious!  We LOVE your claps, waves, and the way you say, "Hi!"


Happy 1st Birthday Avery!  We LOVE you so very much!

Kohl's Childrens Museum

Nolan had a birthday party today at Kohl's Childrens Museum in Glenview.  He celebrated his classmate Sophia's 4th Birthday.  Nolan had a great time at the museum, he loved the grocery store, the car wash, and the waterworks play area.

 He LOVED the grocery store!

Thanksgiving Preschool Feast!

I had the opportunity to help out today in Nolan's class for his Thanksgiving Feast!  The kids enjoyed a game of "I know an Old Lady Who Swallowed The Turkey."  They all sat with their indian headbands and ate turkey lunch meat, yams, applesauce, corn bread, and of course pumpkin and apple pie.  

Story time

They had their hands folded waiting to pray before eating.

All his classmates!
