Big 29!!!

Birthday Girl!
Big 29!!!!
Eric spoiled me for my birthday. I woke up to breakfast in bed at 6am before he left for work. And he even let me open one of my presents...I felt like a lucky little girl. I opened a Gypsy for my cricut. I didn't even know what it was...but I was very impressed that Eric did research and found it.
.....
After work, Eric locked me in my room while he decorated the house. He planned a fun filled birthday party for me. It was great! The kids had noise blowers, poppy streamers, hats, rings and all. Eric cooked me Subway for dinner...delicious.
.....
We played three fun games...Bobbing for apples, Lay one on me, and hot grenade. They were so much fun. I have never bobbed for apples before and let me tell you...it is harder than it looks!
.....
Then it was present time...I got a really cute necklace and foot massager from Eric. So thoughtful...it meant a lot!
.....
Then of course, it was singing time... "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candles on my cake .
.....
It was a great birthday party with my family!
I felt spoiled and loved!
Thanks to my wonderful husband who made it so special!!!!!!!!!


Santa...

Santa stopped by the Ward Christmas Party to say "Ho, Ho, Ho!" The primary kids welcomed Santa by singing "Santa Claus is coming to town." Santa even gave them a nice big bag of candy...lucky kids!


PS...Cooper was there...but Daddy was protective and wouldn't let him out of the car seat...Mommy was sad we didn't get a picture with Santa and Cooper.

Grandma and Grandpa Came to Town!

Grandma Jo and Grandpa Rod came to visit for the weekend. It was great to see them and have them meet Cooper. They were both excited to meet Cooper! Grandma was always the first to grab Cooper if he was fussy...so helpful! And of course she brought fun things to do with the kids. Brooklyn and Easton love to play with Grandma Jo!

We celebrated my birthday early...Brooklyn and Easton made mini cakes for everyone. They were delicious! Grandma and Grandpa gave me a cool popcorn popper!
And then our Annual Redford Tradition...Candy Trains. Grandma Jo brought all the supplies for the kids to make their trains. They had too much fun making the trains and eating the candy in the process. One of the best family traditions we look forward too each year!

Easton and Brooklyn had a great time coloring pictures for Grandma Jo.
And they even adventured out to "Christmas in Middletown" and saw Santa and walked around our small town.
Love Eric's fake smile!
Thanks for visiting Grandma and Grandpa...we miss you already.
See you in April!
