Birthdays!!!

Katie had an awesome party with a bunch of her friends.  She also got loaded up with so much fun stuff she hasn't registered all her webkinz or played with all her things yet.  She is now 8 which means we are getting ready for her baptism on the 6th of February.  All are welcome!
Here she is with a game the boys opened the next morning while she was away, and the plans for a puzzle Daddy's going to make for her.  So really it's a gift for him considering how much he loves making those things right now.  :)

 

It wasn't scary or anything, turning 30, but maybe it was because I didn't really think about it.  It was a few days later as Bryan and I were sitting doing stamping and sanding (I love it when the kids are in bed), that I realized if someone asks me how old I am, I have to say 30.  I told Bryan this and he said, "You don't have to say that."  Then I reminded him that I'm not a liar.  It's just weird to not be in my 20's anymore, that was a long run.  But the 30's will be just as long, and yet go by just as fast.
I'm so blessed, and happy to start a new year.  Especially with a sewing machine!!! Yeah!
