Happy Birthday Ella!

Yay Ella! 5! On May 5 Ella turned 5 and we celebrated it in a very candyish way. The theme of her party was Candyland. Chloe was Lolly the Lollypop fairy, Hailey was Queen Frostine and Daddy was Lord Licorice. What fun! As you can see, Grace had a lot of fun at the party. The Party was a fun event. Happy Birthday Ella!!!

Grace's Bike Ride

Grace decided to ride her bike the other day for the first time! Chloe so kindly helped her put on her helmet and Grace was off! Our little sis is sure growing up.

Grace And Hailey

Mom was cooking so... Hailey and Grace took some pictures!

New Years Party!

On New years eve we had a party! In the afternoon, we went to the Science Museum where they had dropped a bunch of balloons. We also stayed for a while and watched a magic show. Chloe vanished! That was pretty cool! Then in the evening, we had the real party! With juggling, paper airplanes, dancing and more there is no way we could have a better night!

Hailey's Birthday

This year Hailey had her Bday in Iowa. She was turning ten. Mom said that if she took care of her body, she would be able to get her ears pierced in her Bday. So early in the morning, she opened a card that said that she could get her ears pierced. So they went to Claire's. Before, they went out to breakfast. After Nani took Hailey shopping. A little while after, they went bowling and then came back had cake and opened presents. Hailey said it was one of her most favorite Bdays ever!

Christmas Morning!

This year we had a wonderful Christmas! We were lucky to have Santa come. Hailey's favorite gift from Santa was a ripstick. Her favorite gift from family was a soccer bag full with soccer stuff. Chloe's favorite gift from Santa was her camera and american girl. Her favorite gift from family was a sister calender. Ella's favorite gift from Santa was a camera too. Her favorite gift from family was her leapster. Grace, well... she just loved the wrapping paper. We woke up that morning at 4:00. All the cousins were in the same room [except for the the babies]. Everyone in the room got a candy cane so we sucked on those for a while and told stories. We all had a great Christmas!

Des Moines

We had a great time in Des Moines! We were visiting friends and family. It was colder then Boston! One day, it was 14 below 0! Sledding was a highlight! Across the creek, was a family who had a prefect hill for sledding. they were very kind and let us barrow it. We made jumps which we flew off of!


When we were first at the airport in Boston, the flights were backed up so we had to be separated. Ella and Dad had to stay back with our luggage while the other half of the family kept on going. In the end, Ella and dad ended getting back 2 days later. It was very upsetting for all of us especially when we found out that if Ella had come with the other half of the family, Dad would have made it to Texas and would all fly to Des Moines together. But we forgot about it and had a great rest of the trip! Thank you Nani and Papa!
