When the kids were younger we video taped their birthdays and Christmas times. The birthdays were like Christmas because they are both born on the same day.
We watched how our house changed; how the kids had grown; and how different people who used to celebrate birthdays are no longer around (either because of death or divorce).
During "S" first birthday we had the most ugliest kitchen carpet you could ever see! It was yellow and brown with flowers. The kitchen was yellow and we had a portable dishwasher, a different fridge and countertop. Yuk! The walls had wallpaper in the living room.
On Christmas time we always made the kids run out of the room so they would be surprised. One tape they kept running out of the room like 5 times.
We watched as each year S would get at least a couple of Barbies (something that she has outgrown for years) for her birthday and Christmas. J would get something involving Blue Clues, a car, or "Action Man." (a large muscular sized version of GI Joe).
It's interesting to see how things have changed during the years. The house looks different on the inside (same carpet in the living room though). The kids get different types of presents as they age.
I'm glad we have those tapes so we can go back in time and relive those precious moments! :)

Isn't it fun to watch those old tapes? We've got hours and hours of K1, but not very much at all of K3. Funny how that happens. I remember J being into Blue's Clues. How cool that their birthdays were the same day!!
I have a lot of pictures of S but not so many of J. J always wore that "Steve" shirt from Blues Clues everywhere!
