The Big 8

Angry Birds was the big thing for Dylan's birthday...he got pillows, stuffed animals, bean bags, a hat, and even a blanket. Score! He had a great birthday and celebrated for at least a week (I've taught him well). Thanks to everyone who made it special. It's hard to have a birthday 4 days before Christmas, and it can be really easy to forget or lump it in with the holiday craziness. All of our friends and family are so sweet and go out of their way to make his day separate and amazing. What a lucky boy! Thank you all :)

Bear Hugs!

The kids got to help out at Bear Hugs for Christmas this year. Luke has the opportunity to organize and participate in so many charitable activities and events throughout the year, but especially during Christmas. Izzy and Dylan were able to spend the morning with a darling little girl. We had breakfast, met Santa Claus and the Jazz Bear, and shopped for Christmas. Too much fun! She got new pajamas, a remote control truck, a barbie, and a new notebook to color in. She was an absolute doll, and the kids were smiling as big as she was!
