Grandma Reva's Birthday

We celebrated grandma Reva's 73rd birthday this weekend.

Close up of the birthday cake I made her.

JumpTime

For my niece Delaney's birthday we went to JumpTime in Meridian. It's a huge indoor trampoline place with jumpy houses, slides and lots of different trampolines. It was a great workout and tons of fun.

Ashley's 9th Birthday

On Ashley's birthday she took cupcakes to school to share with her classmates. After school she opened a few presents and ate pizza. Then we went to Idaho Ice World to go ice skating. It was a fun evening and she had a great birthday.

Molly's Surprise Party

My mom and I had everyone meet outside Molly's house on her birthday. Then had Cody hide in a wrapped box while we went to the door to surprise her. Then we had her come outside to open her present all the way from Arizona. She was very surprised and so was her mother-in-law Jane. We all had a nice time eating pizza, cake and ice cream. :)

January birthday party at BOUNCE

We got together with Mike's family at Bounce to celebrate Alaina's 6th, Ashley's 9th, Amanda's 14th and Mariah's 20th birthdays. Bounce is an indoor play area full of bouncy houses with slides, tunnels, Velcro wall, giant boxing gloves and more. We all had a great time playing then headed to Grandma Reva's for pizza and cake. The kids should all sleep good tonight.

Christmas Day

Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas! We started the day off early at 6:30am and that was after sending kids back to bed twice at earlier times. The kids know if they want to open any presents they have to let me get a few photos. Here they are all bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to open presents. They started off with their stockings then we moved on to presents. Then each took turns opening gifts from new Legos, dolls, PJ's, makeup, art supplies, robot bugs, easy bake oven, shark air swimmer and more. We had a wonderful Christmas morning followed by cleaning up paper and boxes then onto taking things out of their boxes and playing for hours. :)
