Once again, I was so busy at Christmas time that I didn’t have time to blog about it until the New Year.  Happy 2015 everyone!  The next several posts will be Christmas catch up.

On my sister Alli’s 23rd birthday I gave her a new nephew as a present.  Levi and Alli share the same birthday and since this was a special one for her, I’ll blog about both.  First, Levi.

This year Levi turned seven. 

He is a wonderful big brother who is always looking out for Liberty.  Whenever we are out shopping he is on the lookout for things that Liberty would like.  Even at Christmas time when most kids are only concerned with what they will get from Santa,  I often hear from Levi, “Liberty would LOVE this!” And he can’t wait to tell her all the exciting things he learns about in school or about life in general.  She needs a poster in her room that says, “Everything I learned in life I learned from Levi.”  I have no doubt these two were best friends in Heaven before they came to earth.  Levi has tons of friends in the neighborhood because of his happy, friendly personality and we love him dearly.

He wanted a pokeball for his cake this year.  For those who have no clue what that is because you do not have young boys addicted to Pokémon at your house, here is a picture of the real deal to look at before you see the cake.

He has never actually had his very own Pokémon deck, so when his brothers gave him money to get one, he was pretty excited.

If you’re good at math, you’ll have figured out already that if Levi turned seven this year, Allison turned THIRTY!!!!  So we decided to make it a fun one for her.  We gorged ourselves at Tucanos and then went home for cake and presents.  Here’s what she got:

From:
Kami- 30 Men (Army Men in a bag, one of which just HAS to be Mr. Right)

Rock-Thirty-1 dollar bills
Sarin-30 birthday wishes/candles
Dad-30 Peppermint Kisses
Mom-29 ponytail holders (because a woman is never really older than 29)
Derek and Penny-30 Bear Hugs (chocolate covered cinnamon bears)

Since we were all getting her thirty somethings, I told Cade he should make her thirty origami somethings.  This is what he did!

And this:

We love you Alli!!!
