Sunday January 25th - Family Day

So, as we come to the end of the month, I have now decided, 3 birthdays for any child in one month is way to much. So to everyone... next time, it's one massive crazy day, with everyone here at the same time.. party for friends.. party for kid with just family.. and another party for kid with all the other family members... way to much!!!!!! but in the end I have to say, it was well worth it...but NEVER AGAIN....

We started the weekend off with going to see Hotel for Dogs with Jane, Kolby & Judah. After the movie I had the boys come back and do their very first sleepover at a friends house and for those of you who know the personality of my boys.. they met their match. Jonah and Judah are two peas in a pod and Lucas and Kolby are video gamers through and through. Even though I tried to get them to bed at 9pm, not one of them was ready for bed so at 11pm, it was lights out.. only to have them turned back on again at 6.30am. How do kids do it.. It's ok - Jane is taking my two next Saturday for the night...

Sunday was family day at the Williams house for the final installment of Lucas's 7th birthday.
We had Grandma Evie, Grandma Geri & Grandpa Harold, Mabel and Howard up from OR, Aunt Tracey, Aunt Shelley, Uncle Rick, Savannah, Nathan Alex and Andy, and the newest member of the Williams clan, Jillian and Ethan considering Ethan, Lucas and Jonah are inseparable.

Lucas opened up more gifts, but I think the blender he got from his Aunt's and Cousins was one of the highlights. We have already made smoothies and Lucas is quite the chef.

Some of the other great gifts were more bakugan (don't even ask) Cooking Mama, and Rock Band, in addition to some great other toys.

Thank you to everyone who came to the party.

Enjoy the pictures.

Lucas's 7th birthday party with friends

So, January is Lucas's month.. it's going to be all updates on him, mostly cause he is turning 7 on the 22nd. Not only is he going to be 7 next week, he also lost his top tooth this week. He looks all grown up..even if he is only turning 7. On January 17th, Lucas had his birthday party at the house with all his friends. Thank you to all his friends that came and played. We had a video game party this year. In one room we set up the xbox 360 with a projector screen on the wall. Thanks to Alison, Wyatt and Alyssa for bringing down Rock Band, it really was a great hit.In the family room we had the Wii going and we had fun playing the Nurf Game on the TV. Thanks to Jane, Kolby and Judah for lending us that game. There was Nintendo DS's galore with plenty of Lego Star Wars and Indiana Jones going around.

With the theme being video games, I tried my hand at baking this year, and it worked. Who knew..... But I don't think baking is my calling.
So, to all his friends that came, a big thank you for coming and spending the day with us.
Koleby, Judah, Alex, Taylor, Jazy, Carris, Ruben, Logan, Joe, Nick, Arianna Wyatt, Alyssa, Sammy.. and to Laurie, Jane, Michelle & Alison, thanks for being great friends.
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I did taking them.
More updates coming later in the month.

New Years Eve - Kids Friendly Style

So, New Years Eve 2008 was not the wildest or the craziest.. but it was a blast. The kids had the most fun running around the house making as much noise possible.
It was a very low key NYE with our friends Jillian and Ethan (Ookie's and Jojo's BFF... way too cute).
We ate dinner and drank the most amazing Martini's with some really fancy purple stuff. But they were so good.
They was a lot of laughter in this household and the kids kept us entertained until the finally passed out about 10.30pm. Lucas and Ethan shared his bed and it was priceless. Of course Jojo wanted nothing to do with it.
We opened up the bottle of bubbly at midnight and had a toast with Dick Clark & Ryan Seacrest.
To everyone -
We wish you a wonderful 2009 and may all your wishes and dreams come true.
As always, enjoy the pics.
