Birthday party

Natalie and 2 of her friends have birthdays in January.  They do a group party.  Here they are out at the local pizza place.  Natalie, the girl in red next to her, and the girl with dark hair across from her are the 3 birthday girls.

You are all so marvelous!

A memory

Apparently, in 2011 when our carpet was going to be torn out, this happened:

Our ugly carpet is getting ripped out tomorrow so I let the girls color on it with magic marker. (They had to swear they would never, ever write with magic marker on any surface of our house ever again.) Did I mention how much I hate that carpet?

 Love their hair!

Tia builds heater for Judi

Again, strong and beautiful. Also, it is very, very exciting! 

I've wanted this for a super long time.  Thank you Nick, for the Christmas present. Thank you Tia for helping build it.

This happened

The hat says I'm 16.  Crazy!

On the day, we danced.  Her teacher made the hat and had us play pin the tail on the donkey.  

Oh, I should take this time to document that she is volunteering in a beginning tap class with kids 5-10 (I think -- she'll correct me eventually if I'm wrong).

The girls in a tree

T-day food

 
Okay, not an exciting post, but finally documenting our Thanksgiving dinner. Yum!  Will try to get something more exciting soon (in the next hour or so).

All 6 kids

 
3 kids + 3 grand cats.  It was a lovely morning!

(Yesterday, I couldn't get this site to cooperate, so stay tuned for another post today.)
