Noah's 9th Birthday!

First of all, Noah's Birthday was on January 31st. I have been a slacker and not posted his Birthday pictures yet. We started Noah's Birthday with delicious waffles. Noah got a super cool erector set and and a snap circuit set; he didn't even know about these excellent toys. It has been a week now and every free moment that he can he has spent building a helicopter and putting together electronics. He picked homemade Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, gravy and of course vegetables for his birthday dinner. Amazingly Noah requested a chocolate cake; as many of you know Noah has claimed to HATE chocolate since he was about four. I found a fabulous cake recipe that turned out great!

Noah's a Wolf

Noah has earned his WOLF! We are so very proud of him; it has taken lots of work on his part and ours. The last pic is our of our little Sarah she is growing like a weed and super healthy.

Cousin's

After Christmas we went down to Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Jeremy's for cousin gift exchange with Eli's side of the family. The kids all had a great time playing and giving each other gifts.

Christmas 2009

Christmas at our home was a success! Christmas Eve we had family and friends all around for a delicious ham dinner. Aunt Emily was able to join us for the BIG day this year. As always the kiddos made out like bandits. Josh is stocked on guitar accessories and books. Noah wanted G.I. Joe stuff, slot cars, and the Spiderwick books. Erika was really hoping for littlest pet shop and more American Girl doll stuff she got it as well as the books. Little Sarah loves her giggling bear named "Strawberry" and her learning table is a little advanced for her, but she is growing like a weed so she will be ready for it in no time.

Merry Christmas!

Sisters

Is there anything better than a bedtime story? Yes, Erika reading the story puts baby Sarah right to sleep!
