Happy Birthday Jacob

We took a year off from throwing a birthday party for Jacob.  Instead we had a family day to celebrate.  Over the past year Jacob has become very interested in rocks, minerals, crystals and fossils.  He gets books on them whenever he can.  He has also spent many hours searching through my moms buttons for special crystals.  So we thought this would be a good year to take the boys to The Cave of The Mounds.  Just as we thought, they loved it!  Especially Jacob.  He bought some rocks and crystals and already wants to go back to get more.  



For this years cake Jacob asked for a Packers cake.  I didn't have too many supplies in the house so I had to work with what I had... turned out pretty good.


Minnesota Christmas

The holidays flew by for us.  We were able to spend Christmas in Minnesota with my family this year. Of course I forgot to take pictures but my dad was able to get a good one after Christmas mass.



Christmas pictures

To get a picture of the boys for our Christmas card I bribed them with Culver's ice cream.  We went downstairs and took lots of pictures hoping for a couple to turn out.  Here are some we didn't use.
