A Late Christmas

The Volesky-Berger Family.



We were fortunate enough to have spent Christmas in Dickinson with my family...but my brother, Lane was not able to make it. So, we celebrated Christmas again when my parents came up for the same weekend that we had Sophia's birthday party. It sure felt like another full-on Christmas!
We sure packed a lot in that weekend with a birthday party, Christmas celebration and Patrick and I went to a wedding and my parents babysat for the kids while we were gone for the night...yes, it was a super fun but busy weekend!~

A softball glove and ball!!!! He is going to have lots of fun with that one!

Gavin trying to throw the ball at the same time that he had it in his glove....didn't work too well.

All smiles after Uncle Lane helps him catch his first ball!

I took this picture just to show how cute Gav's wavy hair is! Love it! He definitely got those waves from the Volesky side:)

Sophia's 4 Yr. Birthday Party

Five days after Sophia's birthday, on Jan. 7th we had her birthday party and she had a wonderful time! We were so lucky that the weather just happened to be so mild (in January!!) that everyone could make it.

Thank you to everyone that was able to come to Sophia's birthday party...you all made it such a special day for our little girl. We are so lucky to have such great people in our lives!

Sophia is 4!

Our little girl turned 4 years old today! Wow how time flies! I know I say that on every birthday, every year, but it is true! All of a sudden my baby girl is a little lady and even acts likes it too (well, sometimes). Pretty soon she will be off to school!

Sophia had a wonderful birthday! It started off with a yummy pancake breakfast and then she got to open her gifts from Mommy & Daddy after lunch. Later that evening we went to the MOA to go on some rides and have a birthday dinner....it was a fun-filled day!
