Late December and January pictures

I may be a tad bit behind on blogging. :)  But as I'm home again with a sick kiddo (we've had a lot of gunk this year), I thought I'd try to catch up.

Mom had a special birthday at the end of December so on her special day, we met for breakfast in Mishawaka.  Since we were over there, we decided to take the kids to Strikes and Spares.  We had a great time!

Landon wanted to do it all by himself

Landon won 40 tickets at the arcade.  He's so proud! :)

On New Year's Eve, we stayed home and had a great family day.  The kids set up a game tournament where we kept track of points for each game and prizes were given out.  Landon and Emerson wanted to cook dinner all by themselves.  We had delicious homemade pizza and fancy drinks (sparkling grace juice and wine).

We surprised mom for her 70th birthday by throwing her a party and inviting some close friends and family.  Amazingly, she was very surprised! :)

Emmy is on a roll with losing teeth.  She's lost 4 so far!  I love it when those top teeth fall out and they get their "first grade smile"!

We got to babysit Caleb one Saturday while Kristina was at work trying to get caught up and planned.  Love his sweet smile.

Em got a Magic Mixer for Christmas and finally got it out a few weeks ago to make some...delicious??...treats.  They really weren't that good, but they were fun to make. :)
