A Fun Visit

Yesterday we had Chad's family come and visit. Blake and Jordyn came over too, so we had the "Midwest regional Keyser family reunion" named by Blake. James wasn't feeling 100% so he was a little grumpy but we still had a really fun time. Mikey got to play with his cousin Noah. He seemed to really enjoy all the company and got very angry when he had to go take a nap and everyone else got to go outside.

The biggest news of the day is that James FINALLY drove in his jeep! He got this jeep from Santa and it has been sitting in his closet for the past 3 months because he wouldn't even get in it on his own, let alone drive it. So we got it out yesterday and had Lexi and Myra drive it around. At first he was content watching, but pretty soon he was driving it. Now if we could only get him to steer it. In the video it looks like Jordyn is pushing it, but she is actually only steering it.

We had a lot of fun playing games, eating, and talking.

If you didn't know this is our birthday season. It starts out with Jordyn (my sister) on February 19th then we have Doug's Dad, Tim(Doug's brother), my Dad, Jackson(our nephew who was born this year), my Mom, Amber(Doug's sister), Lexi(our niece) and finally mine to end it all at the end of March. Needless to say I think we will do all in our power to avoid having a baby in March. So because Lexi's birthday is next week and James loves birthdays and they were going to be here we decided to have a little birthday party for Lexi. I made her a princess cake, which was really fun because I don't every get to make girly stuff. Lexi LOVED it and kept asking to see her princess cake.
James loved it and was so excited when it was cake time. He turned the lights off when the candles were lit, tried to help blow out the candles, and turned the lights on when it was done. The only sad part was because he wasn't feeling well his signature "Happy Birthday" after the candles were blown out was too quite to hear on the video.

The funniest part as after the candles were blown out Lexi grabbed the doll out of the cake, which she had been excited for all day, and was shocked to find that it didn't have any legs. I had to take them off to get her to fit in the cake. But after we got her washed off and the legs put back on she carried it around the rest of the night and even told us several times she was going to sleep with it. So we had a very fun day at the "Midwest regional Keyser family reunion!"
