Skate Night

Not a big crowd, but lots of fun to be had.

Girls Day Out

Shopping with my girls. You would think we'd get tired of it but no... and thank you Macy's for the prime nap spot.

Playing hookie

Some much needed grocery shopping and a little Japanese with my best girls. Playing catch up after being gone for 5 days!

Yankees in Atlanta!

To market we will go...

Off to Atlanta. Sure am going to miss the fam - thank goodness for FaceTime!

Prom

Saw Les Mis again. Loved it again. Jason said it would have been really good had there not been any singing. Should have had Grandma babysit him too.

Went shopping for my trip to Atlanta and these two wanted to have a little fun. When is Prom?

Then we bought origami kits but I didn't take any pictures of that process because there was a lot of frustration involved so it made the final product anti-climatic.

And finally - made and decorated sugar cookies again and true to our family tradition... under cooked the first batch and burnt the second.

But it was a fun weekend.
2013 we're off to a good start!

These two should join the WWF.

Back to school

Love these two - wish they didn't have to go back to school.

New Years resolution:
Win at candyland, I'm green!

Winter wonderland

E was upset she couldn't make an igloo or a snow angel - too much ice.
