A Very Long Christmas Post - 2013

A.J.'s 7th Birthday!

We celebrated A.J.'s 7th Birthday this past November. We had his party at Laser Quest! It was so much fun. I haven't played laser tag since I was a kid and I knew A.J. would really enjoy it. All the parents and kids got to play. The laser tag arena was 2 stories with a ton of awesome hiding spots and mirrors which made it more difficult. A.J. wanted a Soldier cake, again! He picks a Soldier cake every year. haha! This had to one of the best parties we've done so far.

Jamal and MaKennah's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Jamal and MaKennah's (family friend's daughter) birthdays in September 2013. Jamal's Birthday is August 31 and Makennah is just 2 weeks younger than him. We thought it would be so cute to celebrate their parties together since they've known each other since they were both just a couple weeks old.  We went with a Minnie and Mickey Mouse theme.  I even ordered Jamal a custom made shirt. We were a little disappointed with the turnout of guest though. Not sure if the joint party threw people off, but we still had a great time. We had hot dogs, pasta salad, fruit salad, and tons of cookies. Jamal and MaKennah had their own personalized cakes.  I'm glad that we were able to make these memories with those two and that we will always have these adorable pictures of them to show them in the future.

First Day of School Pics and High School Reunion Talk!

Well, I'm way behind! These are pictures from the boys first day of school back in August 2013. A.J. is in 1st grade, Ronde is in Kindergarten, and Jamal is in a Pre K program at a local church. The school year is about over.  Only about a month left and we will officially be on Summer break! This year we will be visiting Florida for a few weeks. We haven't been back since we moved to Oklahoma over 3 years ago.  This summer is my 10 year High School Reunion!  I made a promise 10 years ago with my best friends Heather, Sonia, and Cat that we would all attend the reunion, no matter what! I'm so happy that we are all sticking to that promise! I will also get to spend my birthday with my sister, Kasey! It's been years since we've been able to celebrate our Birthday's together like we did growing up.
