Nothing fancy just NINE ...

Justin’s 9^th birthday went by with a flash this year.  I feel horrible as this was the first time since he was born that I have not planned a big celebration and special party for him.  We simply were too dang busy.  Between sports, work and school schedules nothing fell into place.   I did promise him we would make it up to him.  Now I just need to figure out when and how.   We did spoil him with a few presents and celebrated the night of his birthday with an apple pie.

Party for SIX ...

We celebrated New Years Eve at Darren and Audrey’s house this year.  It was just a small group of us … 6 adults and 7 kids but OH what a night!   Dinner, board games, dance party and poker!
