Who's the birthday girl?

IT'S MEEEeeeeee!

I got this super cool slide from mom and dad, and then my friends came over for lunch.  How fun!  

Stay tuned, video is imminent.  We can feel it.  

Tahoe

After church on Sunday while still in the parking lot, Daddy turned to mommy and said, "Let's go to Tahoe. Now. Like today. Let's just pack a bag and go. I have tomorrow off, and it will be a while before we get a chance to do anything like this again." We waited for it - mom's practical side forcing the "No." But it didn't come. She thought for a minute and then said, "you do the dishes, I'll pack a bag." And we were off. Off to snow and sledding.

Biggest gingerbread village ever!

Are these presents for me?  how did they know I was coming?

Too cute!

Try to get to the nap before you show how disappointed you are at not getting to open every present at once.

Don't eat chocolate pretzels too fast.

Technical difficulties

Bear with us.  We have fabulous Christmas and birthday photos to share, but for some reason we are having technical difficulties accessing our photos.  Probably related to the fact that my parents are technological morons.
