Happy 2nd Birthday Samantha!

We went to the Garden State Discovery Museum to celebrate Samantha's 2nd birthday. All of the kids had a great time! Sandy and I took Katie and Juli there before and I guess they were just too young at the time because this time, Katie had a blast!

Waiting for Jenine, Kelly, and Liam

I don't understand what all this fuss is about. Can't I just go play???

Gianna, Katie, and Samantha

The biggest Lite Brite I've ever seen!
(Check out the cool ladybug tattoo she got there!)

She shoots...She scores!

Katie said "Look Mom, I got a job!"

Putting on a show! She was singing and dancing up there.
(What's up with the guy on the right with the glasses picking his nose? EWW!)

Elizabeth got it!

Kelly's 5th Birthday

On Saturday night, we went to Kelly's 5th birthday party. Katie had a great time playing with Kelly, Liam, and Sammie and helping Kelly open all of her presents.

Waiting to sing

Making a wish!

Yummy chocolate pretzels!

Super cool!

New Year's Eve

Wow, I'm actually going to be all caught up by the time I'm finished tonight!

We rung in 2008 at James and Sandy's house with me, Joseph, Katie, James, Sandy, Juli, Livi, Karen, Chris, Maddie, Jenine, Chris, Kelly, Liam, Chrissy and John. This year the kids were old enough to play together most of the time giving us some time to play games and have some fun. It was really nice!

Putting on our party hats

It's almost time to ring in '08

Aunt Chrissy teaching the girls how to use their blowers

Are they smarter than 5th graders???

Ready to party!

Best of friends

Liam didn't make it so Chris got to ring in the New Year inside

Kelly barely held on but she made it until 12!

Is it time to go outside yet???

Maddie's ready

James with our fancy champagne glasses!

It wouldn't be New Year's Eve with a picture of Joseph like this!

Hey look, a picture of me!

Good bye 2007!

Is all this loud noise really necessary???

Pooped out

She actually stayed awake longer than Uncle Joseph!

At Kelly and Liam's House - Saturday, November 17, 2007

We went to Jenine and Chris' house to hang out for a little while. Aunt Chrissy and Uncle John were there also. The kids had a lot of fun playing together and Uncle John and Katie were trying on some cool headwear!

Looks like she might need a peg arm instead of a peg leg! lol
