Happy 3rd Birthday A & E

On Saturday, A & E celebrated their 3rd birthday. I cannot believe that 3 years have already gone by, it seems so fast!! I swear it was only yesterday we were taking them home from the hospital but they are soooo big now. We had a pretty low key day since we had had a party with a couple of friends on Thursday. We took them to Red Robin for lunch and Anthony slept the whole time! He had been talking all morning about going to Robin's for lunch then fell asleep on the way and didn't wake up til we were leaving. We got them a kitchen for their birthday along with a pair of cowboy boots. Grandma Michaelis got to come for their birthday so they were very excited. I told them that I was excited that my babies were growing up and they both told me that they were "big kids and not babies anymore" but they will always be my babies!!

Birthday Party

On the Thursday before the babies birthday we had our friends Logan and Haven and their mommies come over for pizza and cake. After we finished eating we all went to Monkey Bizness and had lots of fun playing on all the toys they have there.

Here is a little video of Christmas day:

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone...okay so I know I'm a few days late but better late than never, right!! We had a really great Christmas in Rexburg, even though it was cold and snowy. We spent Christmas Eve at my Grandmother Nef's house with all the extended family which is so great, I love when everyone can get together. We spent Christmas morning with my parents and my brother and his family and then went to visit my Grandma Michaelis and aunt Sue with a stop to see another aunt's new dog.
This is what I got for Christmas!! I have a gorgeous engagement ring that had to be cut off while I was pregnant so I haven't had a ring for over 3 years. I'm going to get it fixed (after I lose some weight, ha, ha) so I told Ben I wanted a white gold plain band. He got me this white gold band with a 1/2 karat of diamonds...pretty nice, huh!!

The babies had a really great Christmas and really were happy most of the day even though the pics say otherwise. We had a really fun week visiting family and friends but were glad to come home to our own house!!!
