6th Birthday! Wow.

Whoa.  6.  How did this happen?  They have grown up SO much in the last year.  I mean, every year they have, of course.  But really this year they are so different...so aware..so thoughtful, and funny, and curious, and capable.  It is really a privilege to be their mom and to be part of their journey through life.  We have our moments, lots of them, but overall, I love the people Ruby and Owen are, and I love who they have brought me to be.  



Ruby and Owen agreed to not get gifts from their friends for their birthday and opt for something "bigger" from mom and dad.  We celebrated at Get Air, which was a gift in itself.  SO much fun with the kids and parents who attended, especially Aunt Mindy, who has not missed a birthday party for Ruby and Owen yet!  We even waiting until their actual day to celebrate so that she could be with us.  So worth it.




























Ruby's new jammies from Aunt Amber are her favorite!!  She loves this tradition and looks forward to it each year.  Fun snowflakes this year!  Thanks, Amber!


Oh, and, tomorrow morning is
"Christmas" for us because Chip has to work a 24 on Christmas day.  So, quite a big one today, but, all ready.
