Aiden and Daddy!

Since we had Aiden's birthday party the day before his actual birthday, Jesse and I decided to take him out to lunch on his actual b-day. Aiden decided that he wanted pizza so we took him to East of Chicago and Opa came along too. After eating some pizza, which he wanted to dip into his pudding (as long as he likes it right!?) we let him play a few games. He loved it. He ended up winning 40 tickets and he was so excited. He put them right into his pocket. On our way out he cashed them in for 4 suckers and boy was he proud! I look forward to spending special days like this with him and any future children. I'm determined to give him only great memories of his childhood!

He's Officially 2!

I cannot believe it but our baby boy is offically 2!!! Sunday we had a big birthday party for Aiden to celebrate. It was Cars themed because he is all about that right now. It was a great time and he had such a great time. Here are a few pictures of his celebration!

This Past Weekend

This past weekend Jesse, Aiden and I were able to get away and go visit my best friend and her family. It was Noah's (our Godson) 1st birthday! It was so great to see Aiden and Noah interact. They haven't see eachother in 6 months but they played like they hadn't missed a beat. It reminded me of how Jessica and I were every summer.

We only saw eachother for a week in the summer, but when we did we were inseperable and it was like we had never missed a day of eachother's lives! I only hope that Aiden and Noah continue a friendship as great and meaningful as their moms'!

Bathroom!

Well, it may have taken awhile, but it's finished!!!!! I couldn't be happier! Jesse worked his butt off (with the help of his dad and brother) Here is our new bathroom.

Aiden's Big Boy Bed!!!

Jesse and I got Aiden a big boy bed this year for Christmas. When he opened the box and we told him that it was a bed, he just looked at us puzzled. I'm pretty sure he was thinking, it's a box , not a bed!!! Later on in the day Jesse and Aiden put the bed together and took down his crib. When Jesse had it all together and had the bedding on it Aiden said, "oh, Daddy....Cars McQueen, Ta-Mater, King bed!!!!" I thought it to be cute! Here is Aiden's bed.

Christmas Card

We decided to go green this year and not send out Christmas cards to family and friends, so this is our Christmas card this year and we e-mailed it!

Hope your families have a wonderful Christmas this year!

First Christmas of the Season

Here are a few pictures that were taken this weekend at my brothers house. We usually have our Christmas with my mom, step-father, sister and her fiance, brother and sister-in-law (this year my grandpa, was able to come too!) in the beginning of December so we have a chance to get together before all the chaos that is the Christmas season begins. As you can see Aiden makes out like a bandit because he is the only gandchild and there are no cousins to compete with. He is all about Cars (the movie) and my family went nuts! We had alot of fun.
