2009 Holidays

Our first white Christmas in a very long time.  20 years?  Snow and a lot of it. 

Plus, Oliver's first viewing of "The Christmas Story" which will surely not be his last.  What ever happened to the 24 hour showings of "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Amelia's Birthday Week 2009

Amelia turned 7 this week and we're working on our third party for her.  She had the "friend" party for her school mates last Friday, her party with immediate family yesterday and now her third party with relatives tonight.  Poor child, I can only remember having one party when I was a kid.

IHOP can't touch this birthday stack

Oh, she also had a party at school, so I guess this really makes 4 parties :)

It's hard to believe that she is 7 now.  A little gymnast, she goes two or three times a week and is doing really well.  I figure by the time the 2016 Olympics comes around we'll get to go to Chicago Rio de Janeiro :)
