William’s 6th Birthday

William had a nice family dinner and cake on his actual birthday.  On the following Saturday, we had our very first “friend” birthday party.  It was NASCAR themed.

Christmas 2012

Christmas came fast this year.  Since starting work I had been working overtime so I have been away from the house for 13 hours a day typically.  I looked forward to having a day off (although it was only one day).  The boys received a lot of surprises.  Aunt Kelly flew in on Christmas Eve.  Check out the surprise looks on the boys faces!

We went to Christmas Eve services.  Both boys were under the weather with breathing treatments again. 

We did the traditional exchanging of Christmas Eve PJs.  

Then it was off to bed for the boys and go time for Santa.   

The next morning was extremely eventful and happy times. 

Harry got the pool table he asked for while William scored more Nascar items.             

The next biggest surprise was a knock at the door.

  

Gramma and Grandpa Archer for Christmas!  We didn’t let the boys know that any family were coming so it was fun to see the shock in their faces.  They had a good visit.  We got to go to Los Toros. 

 

They got to go on a train ride to Santa Barbara.  Gramma and Grandpa bought the boys something so cool!  Bunk Beds!!!!  A month later, this is still a huge hit. 

Scott and I even got to go out on a date. 

It was a good holiday season.
