VanStrien Family Website

James turned 4 years old today! We’ll be celebrating by taking him out to the movie UP! and playing with his new toys. James and his birthday party with family and friends this past Saturday at Long Lake park.

Don’t use hostmonster.com   This is the second time I’ve had to change hosting services due to bad customer support.  I’m now with hostgator.com and have a reseller account which basically makes me my own web hosting company.  The will be some links that don’t work yet until I get everything moved over….what a pain!

We had a fun time today watching all the butterflies at Frederik Meijer Garden. James didn’t want to leave and Alanna had a fun time exploring. I put pictures in the Photo Album section of the website. You can click on it above.

Alanna turned one year old at 5:06 this morning. As an added surprise to the day she also starting walking! We’ll be celebrating at home today with the big family and friends party next week.

Christmas morning was a lot a fun! James had a great time with his presents and is really enjoying his new Leapster. Alanna had fun opening presents but got tired very quickly. Alanna’s favorite part was the fruit snack that were left by Santa in her stocking. Later we’ll travel to Grandma and Grandpa Cooper’s for breakfast and Grandma and Grandpa VanStrien for dinner.

She didn’t exactly talk his ear off with what she wants for Christmas, just Rosalyn got to meet Santa for the first time yesterday…

Once again, finally getting caught up with posting pictures…some more Random Pictures, Halloween, and pictures by the Christmas tree. (Email me if you forgot or need the password to the gallery)

James and his family enjoyed a great birthday party at Rogers Park in Sparta. All of James’ family and friends had a lot of fun and had some great food and cake. Photos will be added to James’ website soon.
