Birthday Times Three

In our extended family, three beautiful girlies celebrated birthdays this month.  Our neice, Mya, turned 1 on the 19th, Katelyn turned 10 on the 17th, and Emma turned 14 on the 7th, so we decided to combine all three of their family parties so everyone would only have to travel once.  Sunday our entire family gathered at our new home to celebrate these girlies, and it was a fantastic break from working on the house.

These two, Reagan and Cade, are only a month apart in age (January and February), and they both lost their upper front teeth, so we thought a picture of the two toothless wonders together would be great.  It’s just an extra bonus they happen to be on Grandpa Mick’s lap.

Finally, all of our girlies with Little Miss Mya.

We spent the morning before the party straightening up, setting out the rest of our Christmas decorations, and cleaning up the construction dust.  The stockings are hung, lights are up, and our new house is now our home.

It really is amazing that I get to walk into this house on a daily basis and call it MY home, OUR home, the TOLAR home.  Sweetness!
