F I V E

This boy turned five on Christmas Eve. He is sweet, sensitive, smart, fun and handsome all rolled up into one amazing kid. Boy are we lucky to have him!

We celebrated in Wood River at Aunt Judy's house. It was a great party filled with so many people who love our little guy.

He chose a construction cake. This photo was taken moments before a full scale tantrum broke out over Micah not being able to have the backhoe.

The Captain America costume from Aunt Beth and Uncle Jestin was voted best present.

Yes, they wear jerseys every darn day!

On Christmas Eve morning our baby girl was baptized. Uncle Darren and Aunt Beth are Celia's godparents. Grandma Jane picked out an outfit for Celia and she couldn't have looked more beautiful. The morning was made even more special because we were surrounded by so many family members.

Noah was happy to see Uncle Tyler.

A good cousin shot is proving impossible.

Mary

One night last week Noah was picking up his blanket to take upstairs and he put it over his head. Micah said he looked like Mary. By the time they got upstairs they had declared that Noah was Joseph, Micah was Mary and Celia was baby Jesus. The boys are good at this sort of imaginative play but they really get into their roles.

While doing our family prayer I prayed for Celia's ears to get better and Noah said, "Mom, you mean Jesus." "I pray that Jesus' ears get better." :) Then I told Noah to get into his bed and he said, "You mean the manger."

Birthday with friends

We celebrated Noah's birthday with the Bentley family before leaving for Nebraska. Eva is Noah's favorite friend. It is so fun to spend time with them but six kids six and under gets pretty wild.

Instead of a cake they decorated cookies for dessert.
