We are still here

Ok...so I've been slacking on the website...sorry!

So let me bring everyone up to speed since our last post. We had a wonderful Christmas. We went to Seattle with Aaron's family and had lots of fun seeing the sights and spending time with our niece and nephews! It's been quite awhile since we had all of Aaron's family together so it was nice to have some time catching up and celebrating the holidays. The kids did awesome on the airplane ride and we made it there and back with few problems. Then we had a trip up to Fulton to spend time with my family. There was lots of snow so the kids (and adults) had lots of fun in the snow. We had a big sleepover with the kids in their sleeping bags and it was fun to have some good quality time with everyone and not feeling so rushed. It was a great holiday!
Here's some cute snow pictures:



So that takes us into January and we had a few birthdays to celebrate. Aaron had his birthday first...and the kids had fun making and decorating his cake. Then it was on to Natalie's 5th birthday. She went to see the Mamma Mia play with Grandma and Grandpa Curtis, and LOVED it! We also celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Pickens, Uncle Brad, Aunt Sheila, and Sydney with cupcakes and presents! For her friend party she decided she wanted a Barbie Tea Party and invited six girls over to our house. It was so much fun. Aaron took Justin and Taylor to our church's movie night so they wouldn't interfere with the party and I had some friends helping me with the girls. We had tea, crafts, games, and a large amount of shrieking :) but I think it was a good time had by all. Here are some birthday pictures:



Taylor is 8 months now and is sitting up pretty much by herself. She is starting to talk, clap, and wave good-bye. She such a sweetie....here's a video of her talking...Aaron thinks I'm stretching the fact that she says dada...but I'll let you decide...


As for Justin....he's the typical 2 year old...he either is the sweetest little guy on earth or he's throwing something at you. He's talking a mile a minute and loves his sisters...here's a picture of him pre-cupcake...


Well...that wraps up the last few months in the Curtis household...hopefully I'll do better updating this!!!
