By the time {A}’s birthday came, which was following the later part of the long 4th of July weekend, we were on a partying roll.   Per tradition in our family, the birthday person gets to choose what they’d like to do as a family, within reason.  {A} had a special wish indeed this year… Continue reading

We don’t really GO on vacation very often.   Usually it’s not an affordable option for us anyway.  Do you know most hotels only allow FOUR to FIVE people to a room, or else you need to book 2 rooms adjoining? They say it’s because of fire regulations.  So because we can barely… Continue reading

New Year’s Eve was a GOOD TIME at our house!!

We were ready to rock in 2010!!

When we got home, we started… Continue reading
