Disneyland (Twins 7th Birthday in Feb.)

My brother's twins turned 7 and wanted to go to Disneyland for their birthday.  We don't pass up parties at Disneyland, so we went for 3 days.  It was so fun because the kids are getting bigger and really taking charge of what we do in the theme parks.  They all have their own favorites.  They have become such buddies too.  They really like spending time together.  The last day we were there, was the day they had a fire in the parking structure.

Team Tyler

Our friend was diagnosed with Leukemia right before Christmas and was hospitalized immediately for treatment.  We were able to help out by donating blood and platelets.  Tyler was so blessed during his battle because while hospitalized the first time, he received all his blood and platelets from direct donors.  He did not have to use any blood or platelets from the donor bank.  His long road to recovery is looking very good!  With some bumps in the road, he successfully got a stem cell transplant from his brother in April and recently hit 100 days.  He was quite an example of strength and his wife Haley, was even more so!

Happy Belated New Year...(Soooooo behind!!!)

 At our friend's house for a kids New Year's Eve Party...

Ready to Party!

We always like to stay home on New Year's Eve, but this year we went to a party for the kids at our friend's house, then back home to hang out with some more friends/family.  We always have some fun dancing and this year we brought out the Minute to Win It game...it's always a good way to get in a few good laughs.

Anyways, it's a bit late to wish a Happy New Year, as we are quickly approaching another, but it was one of those years!  Busy, busy, busy!
