The kids couldn't wait for "Lance" to open his presents!
See what I mean?? :-)
Making Daddy's "birthday cake"
The kids actually made gingerbread cookies and decorated them instead of a cake since we still had over half of Kelsey's cake left! They had so much fun doing it. Isn't it such a lovely cake? Happy late birthday, Lance! Hope you had a great day! Love you!

Kelsey's preschool class had a birthday party for her. They called her "Birthday Girl" all day.
Here is the birthday banner her classmates made for her.

We gave Kelsey the option of anything she wanted for dinner. We told her we could go out to eat or stay home to eat. She chose to stay home and have steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. It was delicious!

They decorated it all by themselves!

Need I say more?? She's five - wow! So far we have had a great day. I will post more later. Happy Birthday, Kelsey! We love you very much!
Kelsey had her preschool program last night. She was so cute!! The pictures we got were not very good. Our camara was not working very well with the lighting. She had a lot of fun! Here are Kelsey and Camille.
Here she is getting ready to do 1 Little 2 Little 3 Little Snowmen.

Kelsey had her gymnastics program yesterday afternoon. She has been so excited for it! We have practiced at home for about 4 days! Some of the pictures are pretty blurry, but they were the best I could get from up in the balcony. Here she - all ready to go!
Here is everyone stretching out and getting ready for the program. Kelsey is in the front row, 3rd one from the right.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Our computer was down for about 2 weeks, so that was the main problem. Since we've gotten it back, I have had no desire to get online and update my blog. Once I was out of the groove of updating, it was hard to want to do it again. But, I did! Here are a few things that have been going on at our house the past few weeks!
Like every year, we went to the tree farm to cut our tree down this year. We felt like it was too cold for Maddox, so Kayla stayed at our house with him. The kids had a lot of fun picking their favorite tree and watching daddy cut it down.
We were able to get all of our Christmas decorations out this past weekend. The kids were so cute! They kept running around the house yelling "Mom - I'm so excited!!" We had a lot of fun!
I just had to add this picture for fun. Linsey was at our house one evening, and the kids decided to play dress up. Landon was the prince and Kelsey and Linsey were the princesses. This is a good thing because Landon usually wants to be Cinderella! We keep telling ourselves that next year Kelsey will go to school and then Landon and Maddox can play boy stuff:-)
Well, Maddox can finally crawl! It is so cute! He doesn't go very fast, but he can definitely get to where he wants to go. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!
A while back we went to Lafayette to see my nephew (my brother's baby), Paetyn. He is 5 weeks younger than Maddox. It is so cute to see them interact with each other. He is so cute!!
Today we decided to rake some leaves. The kids had so much fun! They helped rake (very little), but they spent more time jumping and playing in them. It was a lot of fun!! Mom had a pumpkin leaf bag that we put the leaves in when they were done playing. This was definitely easy entertainment!!
Kelsey and Lance went fishing yesterday. Landon probably would have gone too, but he fell asleep. This was the excitement of the trip. They didn't catch any fish, but they thought is was pretty funny to pretend to eat worms!!Here they are right before leaving to go trick-or-treating. They had so much fun!! Even Maddox was having a good time!
