Whoa! It's been a while. Sorry, I let the holidays pass me by. I will update everyone in snippets over the next few days...
The kids birthdays were a lot of fun (Dec 18), however stressful. I'm going to be a basketcase when they're old enough to have friends!
They were so cute with their cake and ice cream. Somebody gave them huge adult pieces- SOMEBODY slipped Charlie a second piece before he'd begun on the first!

First, the cake a la Amy.

Kate feels pretty. She's royalty in her new chair.
