Doug's 13th Birthday!

I Can't believe Doug is 13!  Time flies.  

 He wanted Brownies instead of cake.  They were yummy!  Doug is going to run track this spring.  He loves video games (don't all 13 year old boys)  Minecraft is all I hear about...  He also likes hiking and asked for a camelback water thingy for his birthday. He has been wearing it around the house.  His voice is getting deeper by the minute and he is very funny.  He makes us laugh all the time.  He tends to be quiet and is the kiddo I have to make sure to connect with regularly or he could be overlooked.  Everyone else DEMANDS attention in some form or other.  Doug is easy going and relaxed about most things.  Nothing seems to stress him or phase him.  He is truly a blessing to have around.  Happy 13th Doug!

Doug's 12th Birthday!

Doug is 12 years old now.  Boy time flies!  He is loving middle school and not being treated like a baby any more.  He is doing quite well, a trend I hope continues.  He is attending his first young men's meeting at church tonight.  Amazing! 

Birthday's Galore!

Curtis had his 7th birthday! 

 

He got a snuggie, books and a magnet game. 

Maggie had her 9th birthday!

She absolutely loves her doll house.

We are now officially done with kids birthdays before Christmas.  Now with 15 days left we can concentrate on Christmas completely.  I really need to get shopping so we can have a few things under the tree.  I don't feel as stressed, although I probably should be.  Oh well I am glad I feel fine.  I basically know what I am going to get everyone so it is just a matter of "getting it"

Well that is all for now.  Probably won't write again until Christmas...I will however still be following along with everyone else's blogs.  I love to see what and how other people are celebrating the season. 

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
