Benjamin Turns 4

Ahoy Matey!  Benjamin is 4!  We got together to celebrate sweet Benjamin's life with a pirate themed party.  

Hadley made them all walk the plank!

Hadley's just one of the boys  :)  What these boys don't know is, that one day soon, instead of playing pirates and swords...they will be having tea and crumpets with Hadley and her stuffed animals...

Ben was pretty stoked with all this presents!

John and Laura took Ben to the toy store for a birthday shopping extravaganza, and the rest of us took Joshua to his basketball game.  He did so well!  I'm one proud auntie.  The Cheering Section...

All day long Benjamin said, "Today is my birthday, and I can do WHATEVER I want because we are celebrating MY birthday today."  So sweet...unfortunately it only lasts for one day.  Happy birthday my Benjamin.  You are loved! 

Holiday Ball 2011

Yay for a 4 week Christmas Vacation and The Holiday Ball.  It was such a great night...great food...fun dancing...and just having a good time with all of our friends. 



All my SAA girls!  

My sexy husband!

The boys...



One might say, "wow...look at those drunk people dancing like their crazy out there."  And to think, this is me totally sober!  I love to dance though...However, I'm not sure if you can tell from this picture....   

Such a fun night!  A big thank you to Krystina for watching Hadley for us.  She enjoyed her "B" time!

This year, we picked out super cute pajamas for each of my nieces and nephew...

Dane was so excited about his "Woody" pajamas, he couldn't wait to put them on!  

And of course, we couldn't forget "Buzz Lightyear"....

This girl is just crazy for "footed pajamas"...

Opening our stockings....

Hadley got 2 new baby dolls...She was pretty smitten with them...

Campbell catching up on World News....

After every present that Hadley and I opened for her, she took it right over to Great Grandpa to show him what she got.  I thought it was so special.  She is just smitten with him, (and I think he is a little smitten with her as well  :) 

Merry Christmas To All...and To All A Good Night!

Oh Christmas Tree 2011

One tradition Ross and I started when we got married, is the "cutting down of the Christmas Tree" event.  Now that we have Hadley, it makes it all the more special!

A little nervous the tree might not make it home...

Hadley wore her stylin' purple converse from Aunty Katrin and Uncle Donny, as promised!  She also wore her purple sweater...she is just too bundled up to see it.
