Birthdays and More...

Well, Margaret Linley turned 1 this past Friday and what a joy it has been having her in our family this past year. We had a combined birthday party for both kids on Saturday since Jacob's turning 3 on the 15th. Most of our family was able to attend, but we missed those who couldn't make it! I have some pictures to post of the kids playing with their new toys, but I lost all of my pictures from the party! My memory card got damaged and I couldn't retrieve any of the 300+ pictures we took. Luckily, some family members took pictures as well so I'll post those as soon as I get them.


Nana and Pop got Jacob and Maggie a kitchen set with play food. They love it! Below are some pictures of them playing with the new kitchen and "eating" their food.





This is a shot of Jacob eating some of his birthday cake (see below for picture...)




Maggie got a walker/baby stroller from uncle John and Emily and is doing great with it (that is, when she can steal it away from Jacob).








Gramma and Grandaddy got Jacob a wooden car garage and he LOVES it. He spends a lot of time bringing the elevator up and down...a really cool function.







Here is a shot of Maggie in her birthday dress. She was adorable. (Ignore the sleepy eyes, the flash makes her blink). She also got a beautiful dress from Gramma and Grandaddy...I'll post pics of her wearing that ASAP.





Amy, Chris, Dylan and Wesley with Maggie and Jacob : )




Nana and Pop with Maggie and Jacob.



On Maggie's actual birthday I took several pictures of her to document the entire day. The one below is of her waking up in the morning. This is her "before" picture...


and this is her "after" picture. Hairy little thing, isn't she?



A couple more shots of Maggie on her birthday. What a happy girl!!!











Here's a random shot of Jacob playing in the tub. He's a stinker (in more ways than one.)






Also, on another BIG NEWS front...Maggie started walking at the end of December. Here are some shots of me trying to bait her to walk to me...





Lastly, here's a shot of Jacob's Veggie Tales cake. I don't have a picture of Maggie's cake yet but will post one soon!


Thanks to all who made this a special birthday for our kids. We love you all!!!
