My baby turns 5 today.

Hard to believe that this time 5 yrs ago, my youngest and I were still sharing the same body...but only for a few more hours. On January 25th, 2004 at 3:35pm William Gabriel Moore was delivered into this world. He completed our little family and rounded out the number to four. :)

He has grown a lot in the 5 years since and I have watched him grow into the fun loving little man that he is today. He loves to laugh, loves to make others laugh and he just has a real sweet way about him. He's devious though, but man that smile would melt the coldest of hearts and because of it he often gets away with more than he should. He's my little man, my stinkopatamus, my silly Will.

Happy Birthday my now big ol' 5 yr old.

And I was doing so well!!

I was keeping up so well with this blog, but man I have dropped the ball yet again.

Thanksgiving was nice, we all went to my Aunt and Uncle's house. The food was wonderful, but the family time was even better. I love Thanksgiving, it's my favorite holiday. None of the gift pressures of Christmas but still with all the great food!! :)

Christmas is over and all the decorations are down. Always kind of sad to see the house looking so bare after being so decorated for over a month, but nice to have it down and out of the way. Christmas was a good one. We hosted Christmas Eve at our house again this year. We had a lot of family over and some really great food yet again. The kids made out like bandits, as usual, and were really appreciative of all that they received. Mom spent the night Christmas Eve, and we took the boys to look at Christmas lights before putting them to bed. They awoke bright and early in the morning to see just what Santa had left for them. Ben got the new bicycle that he asked for and Will finally got his blue Nintendo DS. They were both extatic! It's nice that mom is here to see her grandkids faces on Christmas morning.

Michael was off for a nice long break this holiday. He worked from home on Christmas Eve morning and then was off until today. We had a lot of fun while he was home. We relaxed, played games, went to many dinners out and just enjoyed having him here. We decided to take the kids to Medieval Times one night. We didn't tell them where we were going and man they were excited once we got there. It's kind of a special place for Mike and I. He took me there for my 24th birthday and it was also the night that Ben was concieved. We have not been back since, and it was special being there again with our now complete family.

The New Year came and went without incident. We spent a quiet night at home. We ordered in and played a little Guild Wars on the computers. A nice way to ring in the New Year!

So that is where we are. 2009 is here and I am hoping it is a great year for the Moore family as well as all of yours :) I'll try and post some pics at a later date.
