Caleb's 4th Birthday

Happy Birthday Caleb!!!

Wow, I can't believe my baby is 4 years old. It still amazes me how fast the years fly by! Caleb had a fun day, despite the fact that we were all dragging from the day before.

Making and nibbling on car cakes.

They had lots of fun decorating these cute little cars.

Some of the finished products.

We've avoided Chuck E Cheese for a couple years now, but that's where he wanted to go. Something just seems un-natural about spending the day after Christmas at Chuck E Cheese. Oh well, he had fun.

Caitlin didn't mind being there either. I think she bribed him to pick Chuck E Cheese! :)

Blowing out the candles.

Digging into that yummy car!

Opening Presents

By this time in the night, he really needed to go to bed. He pretty much just opened all the packages and then was ready to crash.

They were able to enjoy them the next day though.
Caleb is loving his new Blu Track. ( I think daddy likes it just as much)It's pretty cool. They've made all sorts of cool tracks with it!

Caleb's cars are taking over!!! You can pretty much look any direction and see a car of some kind in our house right now.

Sorry, I had to include more kitty pictures. The cats are now the best of buds. They both like to lay at the top of the scratching post, so, they always end up cuddling up there. Too cute!

This is where Wiley ends up every night, except he scoots over to my side, when I get in bed. :)

A Wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Morning

After going to bed early Christmas morning, I was relieved that the kids slept in until 8:00! Of course they were so excited to see what Santa had brought!

Checking out their stockings.

Wiley got in on the action too.

Wiley enjoyed his stocking goodies too!

Caitlin trying on all her garb from her stocking.

Ryan's got his work cut out for him, filling out the world's largest crossword puzzle!

Caitlin and her bugs, again!

Cute Playmobil farm

We've only seen this movie about 10 times, since Christmas!

Caleb loved his crash up speedway!
Thanks grandma and grandpa Browne!

SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE!!!

Somehow this track ended up being my project on Christmas. I was about ready to throw it out the door. After a couple of hours, it was all screwed together and actually worked though. He was happy!

We'll all have cleaner teeth now!

Caitlin loved all of her Captain Jack stuff!

Caleb's new Mack truck was a great addition to his collection. He was very excited to finally have the Chick Hicks that came with it too!

Thanks Auntie Stefanie, Danny, and Ethan!!!

Caitlin was very excited to finally get Heely's. Now let's just hope she's coordinated enough to handle them. The roller blades for her birthday didn't go over too well. She's been blessed with my coordination, unfortunately!

Caitlin got right to work putting her pottery wheel together.

Thanks grandma and grandpa Browne!

This is as close as we've come to a white Christmas here in Oregon, in a LONG time! It snowed pretty good all day, but wasn't cold enough to stick. (you might have to click on the picture to enlarge, to actually see the snow!) :)

Caleb has had his roller blades on, since we opened them. He just wears them around the house.

As soon as he stood up with them on, he started jumping and doing tricks "like daddy."

He insists that his new boxers fit. They're a LITTLE big!

Christmas Evening

We made the trip out to my grandma and grandpa Hannan's for Christmas dinner. It was great to see everyone.

We enjoyed our Christmas celebrations, but this year was extremely exhausting. Poor Ryan, he started in on all the excitement after working 4, 15 hour days in a row! Poor thing! He was dragging! Between putting toys together and trying to at least make room to walk around, the day flew by way too fast! We still have piles to put away, 5 days later! At least I have one room that is all clean and clutter free. Now I just have to get our Christmas decoration put away so we can make room for all the new additions.
