Racing Into Turn 5

Sutton was given the option of going to the water park or slot car racing for his birthday.  He decided he wanted to go slot car racing.  We went to a bigger place that had 4 different tracks.  Sutton even got his own slot car, so now when he goes racing he doesn't have to use a loaner car.  After slot car racing we re-fueled our engines with Sutton's dinner of choice, steak!

5 Year Photo Shoot

I have been taking the pictures when the kids turned another year older, but I am so bad about printing them off that I decided for Sutton's 5th I would let someone elese take them.  My friend Hollie does such a great job and the kids know her, which is also a bonus.  You can check out our handsome little man at the following link:

Birthday Preparations

Sutton was eager to help bake the cakes for his birthday.  As you can tell by the pictures he was really interested in licking a beater!!

Plenty Of Books, Board Games, Pajama Days, and Play Dates

We could not have asked for a better Christmas break!!  It was wonderful to be able to be home with the boys for two full weeks!!  It did not take us long to settle into our own routine!!  We also finally got our first measurable snow fall the day after Christmas.  We enjoyed many days of sledding followed by hot cocoa and graham crackers.  When we weren't outside we enjoyed playing some new board games and reading Beverly Clearly books.  I think by far the best part was all the pajama days we got to enjoy!!
