Maggie turns 1 year old

Maggie had her first birthday yesterday Dec 30, 2010.  It is crazy how fast time has gone by.  To celebrate we went to Olive Garden.  She is learning to walk with the help of Grandma and Grandpa Birch's Christmas present.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Happy Birthday Maggie!

Time for the Anderson Christmas Card

We are putting the finishing touches on this years Christmas Cards.   We are using Shutterfly.com to print our cards because they have done such a great job for us in the past.  You can get your Holiday Cards, Photo Calendars and Gift Mugs printed from Shutterfly.com.  We know how many of you are always asking us "where can I get a Gift Mug with my Dogs face on it?" and now here is the solution.  We have always been so happy on the designs they offer at Shutterfly.com.  So try them out this year for all your gift giving needs. 

Christmas Cards will be arriving shortly.

Happy Birthday Piper!

Grandma Marilyn's Baby Chair

Grandma Marilyn, as the kids know her, bought this baby chair for Zoe.  We of course kept it and it has sat all of our kids as they have grown up.  Maggie likes to turn around in it and watch everyone and everything that goes on.

Happy Birthday James Brown

Today is James Brown's Birthday.  In fact it's his 40th Birthday.  To celebrate his birthday he went out and hit a deer.

 

 To Clarify we have a James Brown in our family, No not that James Brown, but yes he can sing and dance with the best of them.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!

Here is a video of an old SNL skit of Eddie Murphy playing James Brown.  It reminds us of our James Brown.  (get through the ads, its worth it)

Don't forget Maggie

Maggie was a bee for Halloween and we forgot to post pics of her. 

Theatre at Shelley Elementary

Zoe was great in the 3rd grade performance this year.  She danced, played a flute thingy and sang.  She did a GREAT job!

Micah and Noah wanting to know "is it time to go home yet"?

Playing that flute thingy

Still going strong even with an itch in her eye
