Better late than never:)



Well, I am a slacker. Or better yet, a workaholic with no time. This year it was so very fun to decorate the Christmas Tree with the kids. We really took time to let them help and it added so much to the Christmas spirit. So, here are the pictures. Look at them! I hate that they are growing up so fast! But I love that they are learning to the love the holidays already. I will say that Reichlin still goes to sleep saying santa is going to bring him a present in the morning. Oh, these are the good days!

SURPRISE!!!!

      For my birthday this year, Matt decided to throw me a surprise party! I was wondering why for that week, he became so popular!! His phone was ringing off the hook! He turned in to me:) 
He held the party at Haven, which is by far one of my favorite places to go, and, he even had them serve me my favorite cupcakes from 25th and Main!!! I felt so blessed. Just when I think he is not romantic, he surprises me. I am lucky to have such a supportive group of friends. Some of you were not able to come party with us, but there is always next year!!! Ugh.... I am getting old!!!!

MS Walk

 On March 24th, we got the opportunity to go and support one of our dearest friends and the many others who suffer with MS everyday. It was a 3 mile walk and we had so much fun. The kids had a blast too. It was such a beautiful day and it was great to get to be there for Andrea. 

This picture is of our Family and Andrea's family. They had the top fund raising out of all the teams. I am so glad she has the support of others to help. We love you Andrea!!!

Daddy Got a Rhyn Noll Skate Board for his birthday and boy do we love it when he brings it out to play on! daddy is a lot of fun! He lets us climb all over him and attack him. He will go up and down for hours in the lving room giving us rides on his back! He never complains. he always tries to convince mommy to let us stay up later, but mommy always wins! Not fair!
