Blake is 3!

Blake is getting so big! Three years old. Starting preschool in August. Talking up a storm. It's crazy!

We had a "Cars" themed birthday party for him at the park by our house. His friends came, played, and we had snacks and cupcakes! He was so worn out at the end of the day! Grandma Liz, Auntie Anne, and Bob came to visit, too! And, of course, it was Super Bowl weekend, so we got to watch some football and eat some good food!

A Busy Time of Year

We are so busy this time of year! Between birthdays, holidays, family visits, and everything else, we haven't had a free weekend in forever! Christmas was great! Blake is old enough now to understand Santa and presents. It truly makes the holidays a fun and special time. Here are some pictures from the last month and a half!
