We had a "small" birthday party for Anna today. She turned two today and we had some of her and Aliyahs (and ours) friends over. So we had 5 kids and 3 babies in our little british home. It was very exciting after all the toddlers' sugar rushes kicked in. For the next hour after having cake and icecream they ran around in circles through all the rooms and chased each other and screamed and got yelled at by the parents. It was fun! It was also a lot of work, now I see why people just order pizza instead of making it, but Tracy from church came early and cut up all the toppings for me. Anna seemed a bit overwhelmed by all the kids and attention. She didn't seem to have much fun until it was time to open presents. Then she seemed to understand the value of having a birthday party. Aliyah also had a great time and can't wait for her birthday which is coming up in May. We can't wait either, we know it'll be a blast! Judah slept the entire time, even while the kids ran around and screamed. We had a good time and theres a video with "Anna" blowing out her candles. | | |

Merry Christmas to all of our friends and family. I hope you enjoy the video of Judah. I really wish the quality was better. I cut four seperate videos from our digital camera together in imovie, but lost a lot of the quality in the process. But it still looks great just not on the web. So, it'll be good to look back on in 5 years.
We had a very relaxing Christmas day filled with presents, food, fun, more food, more presents, more fun, good food, and a few more presents after dinner. This was the most fun we've ever had at Christmas with all the enthusiasim our 3 year old infused into it. It was also great that the girls didn't want to rush through opening everything and were happy to open a gift and actually play with it for awhile before moving on to the next thing. We were surprised and guessed that this was a result of the last 5 days leading up to christmas where we would let them open one gift each night, but only one. That was really hard for us to excercise that much self control when you see their little faces light up and then you have to say you have to wait for the rest of the presents. But it taught them it's not just about tearing through all the wrapping paper. And that's especially nice for us parents who spend so much time getting it all wrapped up. | | |

Many thanks to Jessica Keeton for this outfit and many others like it. And to everyone elso who has sent clothes for him recently: Grandpa and Grandma Sherfinski, Grandma Lidiya, and Courtney Lemon) Thats not why I decided to post today but thanks anyway. At 2 and a half months Judah is still a cuddle bug or cuddle hog you could say. My other two girls seemed to like to be left alone more often than not that I assumed that the baby cuddle stage only lasted a few weeks. But I was wrong. And the girls are doing great and happy to not have to leave their brother alone. He gets more than his share of kisses. | | |
