Bryce's 5th Birthday

Bryce turned 5 on December 9th! Can you believe how far this little boy has come since that teeny tiny baby in the hospital with all his wires and tubing? We're so happy and proud of all he's accomplished and with his health now.

Talking to Grandma & Grandpa C. on the phone.

He thought that was pretty cool. :)

Bryce with his birthday presents. We did presents before school,

so he had to get a tube-feed while he opened. He didn't mind though! :)

Opening presents! He thought that was too fun!

Bryce's birthday gifts. He got a GeoTrax train set (He LOVES choo-choo trains),

a Panda Pillow Pet, a MagnaDoodle type toy, and a set of Potato Heads.

Bryce playing with his train set after school. He loved it!

Bryce had a choo-choo train cake this year!

He couldn't resist taking a taste of the frosting (Yay!)!

He sure loved blowing out the candles!

Bryce even ate some cake and some dairy/soy free ice cream this year, and we had pizza for his birthday dinner which he ate a little of too. :)

Our Christmas Tree 2010

This year was our first Christmas in our new house, so we were super excited to get our Christmas tree! We weren't able to make it down to Wayne County this year to cut our tree like we usually do, so my family cut one for us and brought it up on Thanksgiving. We got a big one this year to go in our living room with the tall ceiling. The kids had lots of fun decorating it. Bryce had a lot of fun, and I think understood things a little more this year. After we were done decorating it (and the entire time the tree was up) he would point at it and say "I make!". So cute. :) He says the same thing when he brings a picture home from school that he's made. I love how his speech and communication is developing so well now. Anyway, here are a few pictures of the tree decorating!

I think I'm back

I decided to try doing the blog again. :) I had a good break which I really needed for some reason, but now I'd like to start posting again. I like that it ends up being a sort of family journal. I don't want to try catching up because it is just way to overwhelming! I'm going to start with December (last month) and hopefully keep things caught up!
