Ally's Song. Dance, and Tumbling Class

Ally wasn't sure completely about what the class was going to be about but she was hesitantly excited. She followed all of the teachers instructions and really absorbed what she was supposed to do. In the end she was really excited to go back the next week....but that is another story!

Ally's Birthday Party Part 1

So today was going to be the day for Ally's birthday party, unfortunately Ally woke up this morning with pink eye. So we decided to postpone her pool party with her friends and just do the family party. You could tell Ally was miserable because she didnt even mind that she wasn't going to be able to swim! So we had a nice dinner of spaghetti with homemade sauce! Ally really wanted flowers on her cake so she had picked some out and I used them to decorate her personal cake and also the cake we had for everyone else.
She then sat on my lap while she opened her presents and was more subdued than usual. It was a nice quite night with family to celebrate out beautiful not so little girl!

My Beautiful 4 Year Old!

My baby is 4! She is growing into such an amazing little girl! There is the occasional attitude, but she is such a lover that those moments pass quickly. I don't know what I will ever do when she decides to stop being my cuddle bug! Happy Birthday Princess Ally! You are such a light in our lives and we love you, I can't wait to see how much more the next year brings you!

Hotrum Christmas

This year I was lucky enough to host Christmas at my house! So as everyone descended on the house the pile of presents grew to astonishing heights! It was a wonderful day of food, family, and of course the presents! After dinner, and a little nap for Jude we decided to tray and get a picture of the 4 kids together. You can see how well that worked out! We are so blessed to have such amazing family to spend the holidays with!

Merry Christmas

We always spend Christmas morning with just the 4 of us. This year was no different. Its nice to have a couple hours to just open our presents to each other, enjoy breakfast and be together. The kids were most excited about oping the presents they got each other, Dylan so much that after he opened the presents from Ally he wrapped her up in a HUGE hug! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and two amazing kids! Merry Christmas!
