Getting Close to Christmas!

We always know that Christmas is upon us when Tisha breaks out all the ingredients to make her famous cream cheese pound cakes! This tradition started a few years ago when we wanted to give a gift to all my coworkers at Wolff. It has since become something they all look forward to! In fact, I start getting the question, "Tisha IS going to make us pound cakes again this year, isn't she?" What can I say, SHE'S GREAT!!!

Last night we all watched the Christmas Story movie; one of our annual events. Tonight we watch the Grinch!

As for the latest Aidan costume, how do you like this one? The boy has quite the imagination! Of course his brother had a hand in this one as well!

Mia's 8th Birthday

Mia celebrated her 8th birthday this week. Here are a few pictures of her party.

Mom, as always, made an outstanding cake. She worked on this one for two days.

Mia is a gum freak! It's a gift she looks forward to every year.

Ian's gift was a hit! Aidan gave her one of his teddy bears.

We got her a much needed case for her guitar.

Mia and her cake!

She also got a Cinderella Barbie and a flower arrangement for her bedroom. She enjoyed her special day. Happy Birthday Mia!

Ian's Birthday Party

The West's, the O'Donnell's, and Michael (one of our neighbors also known as our 4th child) got together to celebrate Ian's birthday this past week. Here are some pictures of the fun and festivities:
