It's not a hickey...

I have a burn on my neck, front and center...long story...Christmas, doormat and hot potatoes were involved.

Let's move on to Christmas...wonderful. We had a peaceful (if possible with 4 kids high on sugar) Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with J's family. The highlight was Aunt Candy (J's mom's sister) roller skating (Adam's skates) in the back yard...hilarious!


I think these pictures of the kids pretty much sum up Christmas morning at the Bird house...bad bed head...and of course Jack...arrgh!

Happy Anniversay Buddy

Eleven years goes by fast. Somehow, Weezer seems appropriate today...

Woo-hoo, but you know I'm yours.

Woo-hoo, and I know you're mine.

Woo-hoo, and that's for all of time.

Woo-ee-oo, I look just like Buddy Holly.

Oh-Oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore.

I don't care what they say about us anyway.

I don't care 'bout that.

I Love you J,

Sunshine

Captain Jack is 2

Today our little man is 2! I swear my older kids are more excited about today than Christmas...they have been telling everyone about their brother's upcoming birthday (people have been coming up to us for the last two weeks to wish Jack a "Happy Birthday"). I have to admit that I am a little sad today...my baby isn't a baby...he really is a little boy (opinionated, goofy, crazy...). He seems older today (sniffle sniffle) and I'm not ready.

Jack has been busy lately (busy changing clothes that is). Gone are the days when he wouldn't wear a costume. It is very exciting...we never know who is going to show up for dinner. Here he is in all his glory...

Christmas wishes

So all I want for Christmas is a picture with all 4 of my children looking in the general direction of the camera. This task becomes more difficult every year (probably because I not only procrastinate, but I only give myself a 10 minute window to capture my kids at their best...they need more time!). Fortunately I did get some great individual shots. I do think my kids are adorable...I mean look at my Sunny Bunny...stinkin' cute!
