Friend's Christmas Party & My 30th Birthday!

My 30th birthday was pretty fun this year...regardless of the fact that I totally didn't want to be turning 30.

My husband came home after being gone on business for 3 weeks, then we had a fun Christmas party with some of our new AZ friends! Santa even came to visit!

At one point, Sophia did have a super cute Christmas outfit on, but she got too hot playing outside with all her friends, so she changed into a summer dress! ;)

Santa brought me a yummy chocolate cake!

Later Sophia and Nick showered me with gifts! I'm one lucky girl!

1st Tooth Fairy Visit

After weeks of a loose tooth, Sophia finally lost her first tooth on December 17th.

It was so loose, and I would try and try to pull it out myself, but it never would come. So when it was bed time, I told her to get some tissue and try to pull it out herself. I also told her, stay in your bed, unless your tooth comes out! She never has a problem staying in her bed, but I was hoping it would actually encourage her to pull it out, just so she could come out. My plan worked! A few minutes after I said 'Good Night' Sophia came into my room with a missing tooth!

Here are her proud first photos of her new toothless grin, (sorry about the blood...)!

So excited to go to sleep so the Tooth Fairy could come- tooth is under the pillow and ready to be taken!

A few minutes after I said 'Good Night' I heard Nick out in the living room/kitchen area. I went out to find him making a trail of sticky notes from the front door to Sophia's bedroom! He wanted to make sure the Tooth Fairy knew right where to go! What a cute kid!

Christmas Village!

The kids and I visited the Christmas Village last week.

It was pretty fun!

Baby Brother's R the Best!

Sophia LOVES having a baby brother! She is always so kind to Jack, always helpful, and always wants to play with him. He feels the same way about her!

The other day Sophia and Jack were having the time of their lives. She was pushing Jack around in her doll stroller, and he was in heaven!

Here are A LOT of pictures of them having fun!

Sophia's Investiture Ceremony for Girl Scouts!

Nick's Preschool Photo's 2010-2011

This is my little boy Nick. He is enjoying his first year in Preschool. He has loved it from day one! Not one day has he complained about going, not once has he asked or needed me to stay with him, and not once has he not been more than excited when I tell him "It's Preschool Day!"

His class recently did their class photos, Julie, the photographer did a great job! She and her husband are waiting for the chance to adopt #2 baby, you can check out her info by clicking www.waiting4anothermiracle.blogspot.com

Doesn't Nick look so grown up and so handsome!

He loves all his classmates! Especially Joey and Belle, (the two cute kids farthest to the left).

Belle is his "Girl"!

This is Nick and his teacher Mrs. Bybee. He loves her, and she loves him.
