Happy Birthday!

 Christmas weekend was packed FULL of parties, drinks, food, friends and LOTS of family time!  We kicked off the weekend celebrating Ryan and Robbie's birthdays!  With them being in town for Christmas Ariana wanted celebrate their birthdays together - and it was a hoot as usual!

It was so fun to see everyone and hang out for an evening - even if there was total chaos with a million little kids running around.  Remember the days when we could just socialize and not worry about our kids killing themselves...remember those days?

I did get a little pre-occupied while socializing and Eli managed to lock himself in the bathroom, climbed up on the toilet, unrolled some toilet paper, turned on the faucet and played in the water...

Uh oh!

 Robbie with be turning 2 years old on February 12th...

...and his little brother Ryan turned the BIG One on December 12th!  What a year a difference makes.

Last year Ryan was still in the hospital hooked up to all kinds of machines keeping him alive and NOW he is one healthy, chubby, loud, energetic little boy who I could not love more!

He is our little miracle...

Love this picture - Eli with his Uncle Josh...

 Me and the birthday boy - kisses to Ryan!

 Ryan looked so cute with his hat on and did GREAT at "smashing" his cake...

Robbie on the other hand didn't enjoy this part too much and just started screaming when we all starting singing "Happy Birthday!" 

Welcome to the two year old...

 Ashtyn has never been into hats and it is always a fight just to get her to wear one, but she wore this party hat ALL NIGHT LONG!  She even slept in it...

It was so great to have Rob, Ariana and the boys in town and we had a great time kicking off the Christmas weekend and celebrating my sweet nephew's birthdays!

Happy Birthday Robbie and Ryan!
