Happy Birthday Max!

Max turned six! We celebrated his birthday with a Lego Party. We had lego car races, a mini figure obstacle race, lego bingo, lego pizza and a lego cake.

I think Max had a good time...

This was my first real attempt at fondant and thanks to some tutorials via the phone from Karisa,

it didn't turn out too bad.

Max had a great birthday week: he loved all the presents that kept arriving in the mail, we went to the county fair, Max and I got to go on a date one night, we all went to dinner another and Max picked ribs for his birthday dinner at home.

Happy birthday Max, we love you!

The Lion King

Max, Neil and I got Lion King tickets for Christmas. We went to the show in January and it was so fun taking Max to his first real theater production. We all loved it of course!

Who want's to look at Christmas pictures in March?

Probably not many, so I'll make them small and quick....good thing I didn't wait until tomorrow to do this because I'm sure even fewer would want to look at them in April!

What's this...a new post?!?

I know it's been forever and probably no one checks our blog anymore...but here are some pictures of when Neil's dad came for a short visit in December.

With 9:00 church now, I never have time to curl Ellie's hair in the morning and there's no reason to do it on a regular day, so....pretty much we've only curled it twice! Good thing we got some pictures because it may never happen again

The Mano Family

We went to Utah for the holidays this year and did lots of things...including taking this picture of my whole family.
