We're 3

Tyler made it, he's 3, and as we speak he is currently giving me quite the attitude, but I admit, it's probably the over tired, sick of people, presents and pizza attitude.

In a week we've been crazy busy. Last weekend, we had Grandma's 51st birthday, Kara made a cake (ok...Walmart did, Kara "picked it out") I made dinner for Mom we spent the night and then came home the next day. Then came Christmas Eve, I worked all day then we packed up and went to my Uncle Mark and Aunt Deb's house in Tylerville, stayed there most of the night, I ended up reliving old times and drove my drunken parents home while Tim, Kara and Brandon followed behind. When we got home Grandpa convinced Brandon that Santa loves Genny Light, so needless to say, Santa and his reindeer enjoyed Cookies, Milk and a whole can of Genny Light and Santa even left a note thanking Brandon for the great tasting beer!! We got up the next morning and went to Church with my step-brother and sister, Kara wasn't ready to get up for the day so during church she konked out! After church Mom and Dad watched the kids while Tim and I went to meet Heidi half way to get Tyler. He was so excited to see us, it had been 6 days since he had been home. We came back to Grammie and Grampies house and ate, and opened presents with Tiff, Tyler, Great Grampie, Grampie and Grammie. Great Grammie showed up later we got so much. Around 4:30 we all headed home, all 3 kids slept on the way home, thanks to all the fresh air they got playing outside! We unloaded, finished up some last minute (stocking) Santa stuff and woke the kids up to come inside...we all crashed after opening out gifts.

Friday was our Christmas with our "besties" Uncle Joe Joe, Aunt "May Beff", Olivia, Patrick and Courtney came over to open presents with us. After that it was nap time for all of us.

Saturday was Lyndaker Christmas back in Croghan, loaded the van and up we went for the day. The boys had a great time playing with all their cousins and we ate way too much.

Sunday--oh...Sunday...Mommy had the bright idea Saturday night to take the kids to Chuck E. Cheese...DUH MOMMY WHAT WERE U THINKING?????? We got up around 9 on Sunday and Tim and I contemplated we asked the Bova's to go with us...yeah they were smart and said they were busy. So we all got ready, packed the kids up and told them we were going for a ride. Ty and Kara were asleep before we got to Adams and Brandon by the time we got to Mexico, they woke right beofre we got there. Holy freakin busy...DUH Gabe, it was a weekend!! We stayed for a while and then went to the Mall to get Tyler his birthday presents. Ate dinner at Denny's (I was craving pancakes) and then came home and crashed.

...And here we are...Tyler's 3rd Birthday it's now 8:30, my house is finally back to "normal" and I'm getting a chance to finally upload pictures. I worked all day and I got the funniest phone call at work...all I heard was "MOM, I GOT DOLLARS" My Grandma Carolyn sent "Master" Tyler 2 dollars, he was so stinking excited...my dollars mommy, my dollars.

Here are a couple pics from our busy week!!! Love to All

Stay tuned, I'm sure my next post will be KARA'S 1ST BIRTHDAY...sniff sniff.
