Plaisier Pizza Party!

This year we celebrated Caroline and Henry's birthdays together with a pizza party!  We had such a great time and were incredibly blessed by family who love our little ones so very much!  Saturday night the Plaisier side came over to party- here are lots of pictures!

Cannot believe that he is 4!

Uncle Trevor should grow a real moustache- don't you think?

The chaos of present opening!

Her new vest!

She is so proud of this purse from Gigi and Juju!  She carried it to church the next day and didn't set it down the entire time she was in nursery!


A new jean jacket from Auntie Sar and Uncle Trevor!


A bag full of trinkets and jewelry from the Schriks was a big hit!
 
Henry loved his presents too!

The fridge has been played with for hours already- she loves it!

Henry is currently infatuated with John Deere.  He first opened a John Deere hat and shirt from Gigi and Juju...

And then Tommy brought out Henry's very own John Deere tractor from Nonnie and Papa!

It was an enormous hit!

He loves it!


We finally managed to drag him off of the tractor long enough for cake.

Happy birthday Henry Bean and Liney Jean!  Love you both so very much!


He woke me up at 3am that night to see if he could quick take his John Deere for a little ride :)  I think it was still on his mind at worship center the next day when he had Tommy write this on his paper... "Dear Jesus, I know you are with me when I (am) riding in my John Deere."  Precious :)

First Day of Preschool!

Last Thursday Henry started school!  He was able to go for one hour with me and we saw his classroom, met his teachers, and saw all of his new friends!  He is actually in 3's preschool again this year and has Aunt Rachael and Mrs. Hoeksema for his teachers again.  He will go on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-11:30am.  He loved it on day 1- we'll see how it goes from here on!
 






Playing with the trucks

Circle time

They each got a turn to have their picture taken with the sign!


Labor Day

We decided to use Labor Day for one last trip out to South Haven.  The weather was a little cool and cloudy, but the kids didn't seem to mind one bit!  We played at the beach for a couple of hours and then headed back home for a swim in the pool.  It was a great relaxing day!
 



Henry finally got the courage to jump off of the diving board!  He was really proud of himself!

Build A Bear for Caroline

The Monday after Caroline's birthday Nonnie took the kids to Build A Bear to celebrate Caroline's day!  The kids always look forward to this trip and the have a wonderful time!  Tommy chose a bunny, Henry chose a panda bear, and Caroline picked a kitty.  They made their decisions quickly and stuck to them!
 
Caroline kept pushing the buttons to make the music noises and dancing!


Getting the hearts ready to put into the animals



Caroline found a stuffed car and sat right in it.  She tried to get Andrew to join in, but he must have realized how ridiculous she looked!

They were far to excited to stand in one place for a group picture!

Caroline really wanted this stuffed Hello Kitty chair for her animal and was so tickled that she got to bring it home!
