Good grief! I knew I was behind on blogging, but I didn't realize how behing I was! I was reading Brittany's post about Luke's birthday and wanted to go back and see what I had written about Elliott's birthday when I realized I never posted about it! Sigh. Then, there's our cruise, Christmas...So, this could be a long one! Here we go...
I wasn't even sure where I needed to start! After going back and reading where I left off, I'm almost ashamed to say it...

Evan's Kindergarten Graduation
Evan was lucky enough to have Mrs. Lesley as his Kindergarten teacher.
She fostered a love for learning in him that is evident even today!
The Three Amigos!
What a lucky group of kiddos to get to grow up together. Such good buddies.

Camping...Stice Style
Shaun had been promising Evan he'd take him camping for a while, so one night they decided to set up a tent right in the backyard. It's hard to say who had the most fun! I'm not lying when I tell you that while I was laying in bed that night, I could hear them giggling in the yard! :-)
Evan roasting a marshmallow.
And really, what fun would camping be without a wrestling match?

Elliott's First Birthday
Boy, one year sure can pass quickly! We celebrated Elliott's first birthday back in September.
Mrs. Donna Long made his cakes.
We rented the Chalybeate Sports Complex Meeting Room for the party.
The birthday boy himself.
He got LOTS of gifts!
And loved the paper and bows most of all.
He also really liked his cake!
P.S.Don't get a cake with blue icing for a one-year-old.

Bahamas Cruise
In October, we went on an awesome cruise to the Bahamas. To top it off, some of our dearest friends and their families went too. We had an absolute blast and can't wait until our next cruise.

Happy "Early" Birthday
The night before my birthday we went to dinner after prayer meeting with several of our friends from church. (I think we must've been too hungry to remember to take any pictures.) After we ate, the boys and I went to Lesley and Eric's for homemade cinnamon rolls. Lesley and I found Ellie Claire and Elliott in her bed watching TV. I have a feeling these two are going to be tight.
