Happy Birthday Mom and Sierra!

Yesterday, the 20th was my mom's birthday. Usually we are together on her birthday but since my sister Stephanie and her crew are not coming until the 26th - mom and dad are arriving once Steph gets here. Happy Birthday Mom! Here is mom, Sierra, Landon, my niece Emily Grace and my nephew Andrew. Mom and Jordan.

Mom, Sierra, my niece Emily Grace and my niece Ansley.
Carlos and Ken flew back home on the 20th. They flew in different times. Lisa picked up Ken in the morning. I met them at our church office because Lisa and I had some work to do there. When we were finished they headed home and so did I . Later that afternoon Landon and Taylor had dentist appointments. By the time their appts were finished Carlos had arrived and was on his way back from the airport. We decided to meet at Don Pablos for dinner. Ken, Lisa and the kids were suppose to join us but by the time we met - Ken was too tired so Lisa met up with us and had dinner. After we got home that night I ended up staying up until 2:30 am trying to finish our Christmas cards and also decorating Sierra's birthday chair. Her birthday was the 21st. I woke her up and asked her what she wanted for her birthday breakfast. She requested bacon and eggs and cinnamon toast. She then opened her breakfast present and then headed to school. Happy 7th Birthday Sierra


She received a tea set that you paint from Mema - her great grandmother.
A Junie B Jones Leapster Game for her Leapster and a AC Adaptor for her Leapster from my parents.


A cool tote bag from Alexia
A Cosmic Math Leapster game from us.

After school she opened her lunch present and she was SO HAPPY to receive from us a Tamagotchi. She had practically been begging for one. If you happened to notice that she had her jammies on - that is because it was wear your jammies to school day. They were having a "Polar Express" Christmas Party at school. She also went to the mall after school with Carlos' parents and received a new jacket. They also went out for pizza and ice cream. Her dinner present was another Leapster game.


As a special treat, Sierra's friend spent the night. Landon had a friend over too. We all headed to the movies to see Charlotte's Web. What a great movie family movie. I think she had an awesome birthday. When we got home we got the kids situated and then I watched 2 more episodes of LOST - second season. I am now half way done. Happy Birthday again to Mom and Sierra!

Emily, sounds like a crazy whirlwind of a week, not even thinking about Christmas right behind it!

I can't believe Sierra is already 7! She looks to much like her brothers did at her age. Too cute!
