Happy b-day D!

D and all his friends!

D's b-day party

Backwards day at school for S. This included clothes, hair, etc...
Another shot of his backwards hair.
After looking at his hair in the mirror, the first thing he said is, "I look the statue of Liberty." So he grabbed my brush and his books and made me take his picture while he posed like Lady Liberty.

J made the kids the coolest tent ever! He used every blanket and sheet we owned, and it covered our entire living room. They loved it!

Thanks to T for our new movie, "The Game Plan" and all the treats, we had a fun camp out in the living room to go with our awesome tent.

Looking out our front door. We got tons of snow this year!
S and D having fun, enjoying the cold weather with M.

The big sleep over with their cousins! We loved having C, J, S, and L over while M went to Vegas for the weekend.

L is so excited that she has cousins over to sleep in her new tent!

L reading S and L a bedtime story.

2008!
J had to work New Years Eve night, but the kids and I had a big party. We cuddled up and watched movies, and made lots of treats. Of course we watched the count down, but were mostly watching for Uncle S to see if they showed him on TV by chance...but no luck. For New Years Day we asked the kids if there was anything special they wanted to do, considering they were all going back to school the next day. S said he wanted to do "nothing at all." In view of the fact that the last few months have been so hectic for all of us, we all thought that was a great idea! We stayed home in our jammies all day and just played games and had fun together. S called it "Peace Day." It was a great way to start the New Year!
