Just a quick explanation about how Greg and I celebrate bdays so when you look at these pictures you are not disgusted or sad for the way we celebrate.  I do not like surprises.  I would rather just tell Greg what I want, so that he gets it right the first time.  I don't think that bdays (especially mine) are that big of a deal and I don't like people making a big deal about it.  Greg has similar feelings and sentiments about bdays also, so we're a perfect match.  
My "party"....Notice the log cake....it's really a caramel corn on the cob freebie from Greg's work. See...it's a good thing I am not sentimental about my bday...I don't know if most women would've let this fly!  
Greg's "party"....He's even less sentimental than me.  But, you'll notice he at least has a cake instead of a log.  We also have to specify to the kids that the blue candles stand for "10" and the white ones are "ones."  I don't think we have enough candles anymore to put more than 30 on a cake.  (I apologize for the naked kid in the picture.  I swore I would never take a picture with a kid in a diaper...but I am becoming more and more white trash as I get older)
So, Ava likes to dress up.  The only problem is, she dresses up with the boys stuff.  She came down one day dressed like this and I just have to worry if she'll turn out girly or not.  She's got all the boy noises down already.  She needs to start playing with other girls....and soon!
 Carson turned 4 in December.  He has seriously mellowed out from when he was 3 years old.  Does anyone else remember the stories about this kid?  He is so fun to have around and asks all sorts of funny questions.  I love having him home with me!
