Where do we even start?

I haven't done a post since December 16th. Wow...how did that happen? We have a lot of catching up to do. But we'll just start with the present for now.

It's almost time for birthdays around here. Samuel's is February 13th and cousin Tanner's is February 6th. They are only a year apart and it's a hoot to watch them play together. This weekend Tanner and his sister, Addison, got to come play at our house for a couple of days. The kids had a blast and we decided to take the opportunity to have a little birthday cake. Because every day is a little sweeter with cake.

Below are some pictures of the boys before they blew out the candles. The story these pictures don't tell is Sam choice to lick off one of the letters on the cake. Oh well...
