I forgot to mention that Lonnie and Maddie climbed the rock wall, a job that I would never do!!!

Fun on the train!

Excuse me miss... there's a little bug in my tea!

FUN AT MULLIGANS'!!!

We went to Mulligans with my cousins Adrianne and Windy and Adrianne's daughter, Alex. We did the "unlimited kiddie rides" package and the girls had a blast! (Lonnie took Maddie and Ry to lazer tag, mini golf and go-cart riding!) Alex and Kylie played so well together! They had to sit next to each other for every ride. Kylie, Alex and Lillie loved the tea cup ride the most, but toward the end of the night, Ky looked a little pale. I just had to take her picture in her favorite pink cup because she wanted to keep going but her face told another story! What a fun day! It was so neat to see the kids playing together just the way that me and my cousins used to!

Christmas at Gramma's New House

We had a wonderful time opening gifts in Granny Janny's new sun room of her beautiful new house! Great Gramma Patty and Great Grampa Mickey joined us for the event.

LILLIE'S 6th BIRTHDAY!!!

Lillie turned 6 on Christmas but we celebrated on the 26th. When asked where she wanted to go for her birthday dinner, she quickly piped in and said she really wanted to go to Sizzler! ( I was expecting her to say Chuch E Cheese or Mulligans! But Sizzler? Who knew???) Then she went on a shopping spree at Build A Bear Workshop! I think she has a GREAT day. Kylie was not so happy about the in prompt to photo shoot!

Skating with Grannie Jannie

Gramma Jan took the girls skating all throughout the island. So much fun to have a Gramma that can do so many wonderful things!

The Boat Parade on Balboa Island

Down here in sunny California, we went to visit my favorite cousin Windy and her fun husband Aaron on Balboa Island. We sat on their private beach and watched all the beautiful boats parade around the bay. Loud music and bright lights set the stage for a wonderful Christmas time! It was so fun!!!

Julianna's 8th Birthday

We has a great time celebrating the 8th birthday of a very special little girl! We took yummy cookies to her class, then came home and opened presents and ate the sweet cake that she helped make and decorate! She got money from Gramma and Grampa Burgans, new skates and a purse filled with goodies from Gramma Jan, and a cute new outfit from her brother and sisters. Mom and Dad got her a REAL diamond ring, so she can always look at her finger and know how much we love her! Happy birthday Bean! You're wonderful!!!
