This isn't actually about the current holiday season, just a catch up of the last few celebrations around here so we can say something about Christmas.
In May we went on a sorta holiday trip to Utah/Idaho. It was for my grandmother's funeral, but we stayed a couple weeks and did a lot of fun things with neglected family, like try on hats, climb trees, and yoga. The kids loved the open spaces.
And there was a little too much Kung-Foo watching...
Robert had combined pool party with my co-workers son complete with ice cream cart (Emmi took full advantage of this) ...
We had a Hurricaine Irene Party where friends came and helped with flood clean-up in our basement...
Jay had a birthday in which we went to the Met Opera and our awesome (free) babysitters not only looked through ALL of our photo albums with glee, but selected their favorite photos to pay tribute to Jay in a shrine on our door.
For Halloween, Emmi was Rapunzel (or "Tangled" as she called herself) and Robbie was supposed to be Pascal the Chameloen, although the closest we could find was a dragon...
Oh, and we had our only (huge) snowstorm so far.
I had a birthday complete with "Princess cake" (Emmi insisted), sick children, and a surprise visit from friends...
And for Thanksgiving we hosted some families from our neighborhood as well as my Uncle and Aunt and daughters. We had 18 people, including kids, which filled up our humble home, but it was fun!
