Zachary's 6th Birthday

We had a very low-key birthday celebration for Zachary this year. He requested a Pirate Party. So we had Cooper, his best friend from Kindergarten, come over and we watched (some of) Pirates of the Caribbean. We were also joined by our neighbors, The Stanfords, and our family friend, Julie. We enjoyed a yummy pirate-decorated cake (yellow with blueberry filling...Zachary's favorite) along with a treasure chest of ICING! He then opened presents, including a 585 piece LEGO pirate ship...Arrgh! A good time was had by all!

Hooray for Zachary's Birthday!

Arrrgh! That's a fine Pirate Cake!

Ahoy! The winds of change are a comin'!

Arrgh! If I could just get around to that treasure chest of ICING!

Ashton is so kind to help!

Golf clubs from Nana Barb & Papa Joe...The next Tiger Woods?

Christmas 2006

We had a wonderful Christmas! Of course, the kids got way too many gifts, but had a really fun Christmas. As a result of Papa Joe being hospitalized over the Christmas holiday, Lucy spent a few days with us, which was a real treat for the kids. Prayers were answered and Joe's triple bypass surgery was a success. He continues to recuperate and grow strong with each day and should be back on the golf course in no time!

Lucy

Little did John Tyson know, but the BIG box held simply a tiny iPod Shuffle!

Jewelry...always a girl's best friend!

Watch out Danny Wuerffel...here I come!

Oh, those helmets can leave your hair a wreck!

Visit with Santa

The kids enjoyed their visit with Santa. Ashton asked Santa to bring her some Polly Pockets. Zachary asked Santa to bring him a Ski-Doo, but forgot to ask him for cowboy boots and a gator football uniform. John Tyson asked Santa again for a rock tumbler (as he has for the last several years)!
