Birthday Bash

No school on Lindy's birthday due to bad weather. But we ventured out to the local Chinese restaurant for lunch on her big day. She asked for "China food".

Then on Saturday we had the family over for a pizza & cake party.

Both girls asked for a doll cake.

So, of course, mommy made them one.

I cannot believe they are 6 years old.

Checking out all the loot!!

then on Molly's actually big day we took it easy. We went to Wendy's after church...

yes, that is what she wanted. Se asked to then go to the donut bank for dessert but they were closed. So we bought donuts instead.

Then, finally on Monday they got to celebrate at school.

The class shared snacks.

Another Christmas Post

Man, what a busy December we had. With all the holiday prep there is to do and two 5 year olds, and putting in a few extra hours at work, it went by like a blur.

Ellen & Mike stayed with us. Molly & Lindy were so excited to have them here.

Mike & John were hunting a lot. We had Christmas with the Rafferty's on the 23rd. Kate & Josh hosted us all and we had some good grub! We went to Mass on Christmas Eve. That evening we had a blizzard. Then everyone was up pretty early on Christmas day. Everyone must have been on the nice list because Santa left some pretty good gifts. Molly was so worried about getting "colt" (aka coal) from Santa. Then we headed to my parents for Christmas day. We opened gifts, fixed a yummy lunch and took some family pictures (coming in the next post). Before I knew it it was time to head back to Mt. Carmel to see Johnny & Pam before they had to leave town. Shew... I'm tired just remembering it.

We had a wonderful Christmas.

Hope your was good too!

Christmas morning
