Oops...forgot the Birthday pics!!!

I forgot to post pictures of Preston's Birthday party! The morning of his party there was a huge fire (fires in California?? Shocking) that shut down the main freeway to get to our house, so a lot of our family couldn't make it to his party =(. Other than that, his party was great considering it was a little last minute! Preston had so much fun with his friends as did Mike and I! We started a tradition that we put our Christmas lights up every year on his actual Birthday(since his Birthday is so close to Thanksgiving, his party is sometimes a week or two before his real Birthday), so about a week after his party we celebrated with another cake and Christmas lights!! Christmas is my absolute most favorite Holiday so it's fun to kick off the Christmas season with the celebration of my baby's birthday!! It's so fun to watch the kids get so excited!! I love it! Enjoy the pics!!

Mike started a silly string war with the kids...the kids clearly won.

Daddy working hard


Of course Mommy helped too



Since I'm kind of camera crazy, I figured I'd share some random pics....

One weekend we had a thunderstorm which is almost unheard of here, so the kids were baffled by the water falling from the sky. They wanted to sit in the car and watch it fall on the windshield. They are in the van....see, we do these sort of things in California.

One day, I went upstairs to wake the kids up from their naps. When I walked in, I couldn't find Ella! She wasn't in her bed! I looked all through the upstairs and about a second before pure and utter panic set in, I found her......

Can you see her? Silly girl!
