Just a quick post to play catch up with you. The last couple of months have been fun and action packed as I am sure all of yours have been.
Meadow turned 5 in December, and we had a really fun time celebrating that with her. We went to Chuck-E-Cheese one night and had cake and ice cream with friends and family the next night. Christmas was a blast, we kept it really low key this year and it really was great. I actually tried the whole "shopping the day after Thanksgiving" thing with my sister-in-law and I think it is something I will do every year. I always swore I would never go out with the "crazies" and shop black friday, but I think we saved enough money and got so much done in one morning that it was worth it. We had my side of the family up on Christmas eve and it was such a great night.

New Years was really fun because our neighbor organized a big party at the local bowling alley. There was bowling (of course), karaoke, games, and tons of great food. It was so nice to be somewhere safe where the kids could enjoy celebrating the New Year too. I was so impressed because all three of the kids made it till midnight with no crying or fits. It was fabulous!
Sam is working on finishing the basement, I am trying to get ready for the baby, Eden is taking a few steps at a time and is into EVERYTHING!! Meadow loves tumbling and in my opinion is very good at it. She is doing tricks I never could. She has her dad's humor and keeps us laughing all the time. Alex started Jr. Jazz basketball and is of course loving it. He is such a thoughtful boy. One morning we woke up to the smell of pancakes and discovered Alex in the kitchen making breakfast for the family.
So as you can see, all is great with us and although we are busy I have nothing to complain about. We have been very blessed. Life is good!!! We love you all and wish you well.
